Solo

[fraservet]

Thought I would share a couple of pictures of my kitten.
His name is Solo, he is a Maine Coon, and is just over five months old.
He already weighs over 3kg - about average for an adult moggy.

He loves watching the fish

And one playing with the dog

Maine Coons are actually very hardy weather wise. They come from Maine in the US, which I believe gets pretty cold in the winter (I'm sure someone from around there can confirm/deny this).

They have a double layered coat, with an insulating short, soft layer underneath a longer one.
They also have massive feet which helps them to move around on snow.

This is very much a "natural" breed, so it is well prepared to cope with the outside world.

- anyway, I'm not that far from the Welsh border, so I don't think your weather is much worse than mine.
