Yep, just as big wet. And, yep, her paws are HUGE (and very tufted like a
Maine Coon's - these act as "snowshoes" for Maine Coons), the tufts of hair
on the bottom of her paws is about an inch long and very thick. And she has
a looooonnng and fluffy tail (the better to wrap around the body as extra
insulation). And she LOVES water - will sit in the sink with the water
running and splash and play until she is soaked. The only characteristic of
a Maine Coon that she doesn't have is the little tufts of hair on top of the
ears, but she has plenty of tufts of hair inside her ears. I think she has
a LOT of Maine Coon in her.

Hugs,

Lori

FURRY KITTY TOES. <squeal> My favorite!!
Those hairy ear-tops are called Lynx tips. Some MC's have them, some don't. I
did notice last cat show I was at (1997?) the judges seemed to prefer the cats
with lynx tips. Orion has hairy inside-of-his-ears, but not lynx tips. The
judge held him up, stroked his hairy little ears and said "This cat has very
nice furnishings."
Furnishings?
LOL. I'm glad he put his Meowmie straight and refused to be shown anymore. One
day he got sick of it, sat with his back to the audience, hissed at the judge.
That was his last cat show. You go, grandcat.
