I take it they have not heard of Maine Coons?

Much more exciting to believe there is a mountain lion wandering around!!! :)

If it were a Maine Coon cat I imagine that someone would be own up to it - they are not that common in NZ and are quite expensive, so the likelihood of it being a 'stray' Maine Coon is pretty low

Granted, but as I said, not as exciting to do a report on (and generate traffic to your site to generate advertising revenue) :p

withfriendship.com

The site I was refered to a few years ago had more pictures of this same cat, but I can't find it now.

Agreed. I have met two Maine Coon cats (with different owners); they are the most amazing creatures and with beautiful temperaments. I'm sure if I was an owner and mine had strayed I'd be putting every possible effort into getting it back.

1224277 2011-08-19 03:20:00 Surely there is no reason that feral cats cannot selectively breed to large sizes. Imagine a large tom mating with a large female and them their offspring inbreeding etc etc. I don't have a problem with beleiving that they can throw back to large sizes. Domestic cats were bred down to managable sizes. theother1 (3573)

Agree 100%. They are big and beautiful with a great temperament.
