What affects us affects cats
I thought you’d like to see some large format Helmi photos of a mackerel tabby Maine Coon. His name is Brenainn. I don’t know anything else about him – sorry; but the pictures do show us a very nice tabby Maine Coon, probably a show cat. The feature that stands out to me is …
This is a rare cat with an unusual appearance. Cleo looks very stocky and has a very definite wild appearance which is unsurprising because she is a wildcat hybrid.

I don’t know much about these individual cats. The picture was posted by Christie L. Montgomery on Facebook. I know Christie. She helps to …
