    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    too bad they cost so much! Apparently their closeness (genetically) to wild cats also brings out undesirable traits like spraying and not being as human friendly.
    I used to be a cat fancier (translation; bred pretty cats and sold kittens) but the state of the cat nation turned me into a cat rescuer.
    I've always loved the wild look of this breed but will never have one. Beauty, for sure, in this case is only fur deep.

    Too bad, I was really fascinated by them.

    I would never spend that kind of money on a cat. Was going to say when there are normal cats languishing in shelters.

    But my mom has an "unlicensed" pure bred Maine Coon (he's the son of a pure bred cat without the certificate and a certified tomcat). He basically cost nothing (just vet fees for vaccinations) and is beautiful.

    I saw one of these cats on Saturday. He was in one of the gardens that was on a garden tour in my area. He was a young intact male and he was beautiful. I was surprised he was outside, but he seemed to be having fun playing among the hostas.

    One of my friends is a photographer who just got a Bengal kitten about a month ago- his antics crack my up and he's a great subject for her. He's very wild tho- climbing the rafters (literally).

    I agree that I'd probably not buy one, but they are gorgeous! And good essence of catness.
