7 Maine Coon Kittens, a great large format photograph by Helmi Flick. The photogaph is ©copyright Helmi Flick. Please respect copyright.
Helmi says this about capturing this picture:
“I affectionately call these kittens “The Magnificent Seven.” These seven came from Christie Montgomery’s cattery, Koonary Maine Coons, in Fort Worth, Texas. Steve, Christie’s husband, and Christie helped wrangle the kittens.Steve stood on one side of the table, Christie on the other, Ken was in front getting their attention and I stood in back, waiting to click the shutter button.”

Now see the making of a photograph of some Abyssinian kittens that are equally adorable:
I know exactly how you feel. If there is an afterlife (and I don’t believe it) I may see the cat I loved so much again. It would be a blessing.
Michael_you will be a great parent for a Maine Coon cat ,so no worries-
Eva says
In the year 2000 I took in a stray that was part Maine Coon, and “Buddy” honored me with his companionship the rest of his life… and mine is quite empty now that he’s gone. I’ll never, ever get over losing him and I’ve had many others who I thought I felt the same about. There’s always one whom you’d rather switch places with than see pass away. No words can express.
