Description Many of you will know HRH Tom, my male Maine Coone cat. He returns here in a series of action shots, (well, not this one), in which he shows his prowess in fast feline footwork. Take note Usain Bolt - if you want any tips on how to sprint, just call Tom.

Many thanks for that. Tom is an amazing cat, although he is getting on a bit now.

Makes me want one too.. 

How old is Tom getting, if you don't mind my asking?

He is 14 now. Maine Coons are very affectionate cats and they can be very talkative.

Tom is a bit like a lion - he has a big rough mane - but he is a softie at heart.

Many Thanks

He's in top form, Mike, but now in the bad books as he's just caught and killed a bird! We try to keep him away from the temptation, but failed this time!

So, Oriole, you spotted the connection! Tom certainly looks the part for a wild animal, but he is a bit of a wuss and would have no chance fending for himself in the wild.

Many Thanks for the comments and the faves.

Cheers

Certainly is, Coco. He has a photogenic presence, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, the light was poor that day, and the colours in his coat are a bit muted.

Many Thanks

I have to say that Tom is very handsome ~ even though very naughty! When Pippi passes away (he's 11 now) [link] ~ Jack intends to get a Maine Coon ~ he likes the big, fluffy ones, whereas I'm happy with my two tiny Burmese! Coco

What a puss is Pippi, Coco - and he's got a lot left in him. Tom sends Best Meows. Yes, the Maine Coon breed is a good one to have - they are affectionate and playful, and full of character.

Cheers

I hope Pippi is with us for a while longer, although he's now on medication for mild arthritis ~ but he's still a good, big old boy! What age are the 'meows'? Coco

Okavanga In reply to kayandjay100 [2013-03-20 13:42:27 +0000 UTC]

Pippi and me both re arthritis!! Tome and Arwen are just over 10 years old - they are birth siblings. Maine Coons are generally long-lived, 16 - 20 being a norm. But, who can tell.

Many Thanks, Coco.

David, I have a mild arthritis in my right thumb scaphoid ~ probably as a result of a lifetime of keyboarding, followed by 20 years of mouse-holding! Sorry to hear about yours ~ it's certainly a bit painful! Coco

Fortunately, Coco, being a man means that I suffer these things in silence, and treat such matters with sang-froid. I banish my old enemy, Mr Gout, to the outer wastes and carry on regardless. Ouch, I've just bumped my elbow...owwww.

More the cold, Coco. Keeping warm is the key. Although a couple of glasses of wine are even better....

Katlin - Tom is not a happy puss! He asks me to point out that he is not "cuute". No, no, no! Handsome, awesome, fierce, majestic, striking...he is all of these. "Cute" is for wimpy cats!!

Many Thanks
