Here is a large format version of this photograph by and strictly ©copyright Helmi Flick (please respect copyright). His name is actually CRÈME SODA but it is not possible to optimise this page for search engines with the accent over the ‘È’ as in html code it converts it to something else. Crème Soda has proved to be a very popular cat on this website. He has this very glamorous appearance. His tail is extraordinary. I like the way Helmi has captured the tail just curled up a bit at the end. Helmi says that he is looking at it. There is also the faintest hint of movement at the end of the tail.

A truly magnificent boy. Does anybody know where he is today, and his condition?
I was gratified to see this posting, as for the past few weeks we have been investigating certain of the feline abuse issues surrounding this breeder. So it was a coincidence to see this on your blog.
We are fearful for his safety, knowing what his breeder has done to at least 18 of her cats. I finished the blog today, hoping to create awareness of what goes on under the covers of the cat fancies.
Sadly, too many pedigreed cats are horribly exploited and abused by breeders, as part of their “addiction”.

Creme Soda is one of the outstanding Maine Coons on the internet. I have no idea where he is now or his condition. I hope he is OK. I had no idea that the breeder has a such a poor record.
