And that's where you're wrong! I know a lot of people in Singapore who own Maine Coons and Malaysia is very much Maine Coon country - in fact it's the cat of choice in Malaysia!

Nial, as I have mentioned, expect at least another 1.5" growth everywhere! And although Maine Coons are the "gentle giants" they do tend to absorb the naughtier facets of the cats the live with - in my home the coons learn how to be Abys which I would think is just as "dangerous" as Buck learning how to become a Bengal!

Thank-you all for commenting on Runner aka Buck. The bengals are getting used to the monster in their midst, although Ares, our rescue boy still gets startled by him, hisses and runs off.

I expect even Ares will settle down in a day or two, since Runner is not aggressive at all.

I still think its not right to keep a longhair in tropics, unless you plan to have the aircon going 24/7, which isn't environmentally friendly. Anyway, there are tons of adorable kitties at shelters begging for a home, so I'd rather open my home to them instead
I'll just get my Coon fix from Nial and other Coon owners here

My aunt had a Maine-Coon-type (he was a stray kitten, so we don't know his ancestry, but he looks and acts exactly like a Maine Coon) who weighed over 20 lbs and used to chaise coyotes out of the yard. He'd climb up into a tree and lie on a low hanging branch, and when a coyote passed under the branch he'd jump down on it, all four sets of claws extended.

Wow, I love his face - so regal!

I can't wait to see a pic of him next to one of the bigger Bengals

I know this is an old thread but I wish I could see pics of this kitty from all of the comments other people have made. The original poster's pics are no longer available :-( Any way to get them back in the thread and with some new ones to see what he looks like now? 

Thanks!

It doesn't look like the OP is active anymore to post updates. Unfortunately, the photos are lost :(

Maybe others will post their maine coon kitties!
