Cat of the Week: Salvador Dali Maine Coon Whiskers

This a Maine Coon with a riot of whiskers framing his face.

I briefly thought of Salvador Dali when I saw this Maine Coon:

Salvador was a famous Spanish surrealist painter. The Maine Coon should be shaggy, I believe. The best Maine Coons have shaggy medium-long fur. I am told that the Cat Fanciers’ Association prefers their Maine Coons to be a bit tidier and prettier, while The International Cat Association prefers the original shaggy look.

The original Maine Coons, before they were called Maine Coons and were barn cats, must have been shaggy and I like original things.
