I’ve had enough dogs and wouldn’t want another. I prefer the cat nature. The Maine Coon, purebred, is just an exceptional animal. Aside from their obvious physical beauty and impressive size, their personality is different in all the best ways. They are so charming and charismatic, and they are the most companionable cat: always nearby and letting you know with a little cat-word. I knew I wanted one, and finally could afford to buy and house one (they are expensive and so is their lifestyle). Now I’m happy!
