Is there anyone who raised a Maine Coon since his/her kittenhood ??
I wonder how much a pure bred M. Coon weighs when he/she is around 8-9 months old.
Are males heavier than females ?
The vet doesn't believe that Yumosh is a M. Coone mix since she is not very heavy ( 6 pounds/ will be 9 months old at the end of this month ). But she has all the characteristics of a M. Coone; rectangular, bony body, shorter hair around neck, longer at other sides, very straight legs (I think she looks like a ballerina
), fluffy & long (as long as her body) tail, big paws with tuffs between fingers, slanted eyes, square muzzle, etc.; even the sloppy, clown like character
Well, one of the vets in this animal hospital said that Mavish's eyes were going to be yellow although they were icy blue at the time when he was 8 weeks old & it was obvious that they were going to be blue, which they are now (he is 4 months old now). SO I suspect their expertise in recognizing breeds.
Anyway, this is just a curiosity question
