Thread: What’s your favourite type/colour of Maine Coon and why?

My Beloved Samantha was a Blue Patched Tabby (Torbie) and the most beautiful cat I've ever known.
Everyone who ever met her did a double take and commented on what a beautiful cat she was.
But her great beauty was far surpassed by her cheerful joyous spirit.
Her Papa misses her every day, so the choice was easy.
I also just love the Party Colored Girls. Torties, Torbies and Calico, those that have passed through my life have had a certain style and zest for life, each one's markings are unique as their personalities.

lovely coon you have and like your answer.

I love all my boys colours
First came Riley who is blue silver with white, then came Chester in a lovely warm brown tabby and white, then I got a bit adventurous and decided to have a go at showing, enter Alfie, solid white with green eyes (see my avatar!) and in June Oscar came home and he's probably the most "exotic" of the four as he is blue solid and high white with polydactyl front feet. I'm still waiting for my dream girl - a flashy tortie (lots of red) and high white

I expect any MCC owner to believe that their cat is the most beautiful and desirable.
I hope to some day soon own a Big Red Tabby Male, Samantha's father was a Red Mackerel Tabby and he was just a magnificent looking cat.

I am partial to classic brown tabbies with or without white. I've only come to love the brown classics because of our beloved dear Missy (RIP). She was like a little miniture brown grizzly bear.
My next favorite and hoping to add to our clan is a Red boy.

hi thanks for the reply. i must say i love your Alfie he's the type of white cat i would love to have. it must be a bummer getting rid of the white cat hairs from your cloths. i used to have a pure white moggie (snowy) and i used to have to wrap sticky tape around my hand and pat my cloths to get the hairs off lol. can i ask what weight is he?

hiya, yeah im thinking in getting another coonie to add to the two i have got and i think i would want a brown tabby with white like your Tequila , i just love his tipped ears. i would love a pure white coonie but their hard to find.

Personally I love Torties, I love the look of Silvers and Blues but Torties have that extra ...something???

Since I've been breeding I've discovered that the Red Tabbies seem to be by far the most sought after. Every one I've had has been the first to be snatched up.

Just today I had to tell someone that our latest Red boy has already found a home (and he's only 4 days old!!!)

I'm hoping one day I will have a big litter of nothing but Red Tabbies so i don't have to disappoint anyone :/

I love the look of the brown tabby. But I always try to get each new furbaby in a different color then the previous furbabies. I guess I'm just weird that way.
