"Turbo's" photo diary

Late night - cleaning the phone shots while waiting on some systems to come back online.

Poor quality - I know.

Turbo has been with us for 3 years now I think. Lee got him from some rescue place as a kitten. 6th cat we've had 1st male cat though.

Awww! Is he a Maine Coon? One of my gf's cats is a Maine Coon. She has tips on her ears that makes her look like a Lynx. :D

He does look like a Maine Coon. My old cat was a Maine Coon, and she was huge. I was told by a vet that Maine Coon's are one of the largest breed, anyone else hear that?

Makes sense, our Maine Coon is ~13 pounds! :eek:

Too funny. Maine Coon - we get asked all the time and we really don't know. The vet rescued him and the rest of the litter form somewhere and we couldn't refuse the ball of fur jumping all over the place in their pen.

I think he's up to 14 lbs but carrying a little fat. We leash him outside and he seems fine with it. We tie him for door mats, etc. but when we've after a rabbit, etc. he can drag a 5 - 10 pound mat across the drive-way pretty easy and he's tackled large rabbits at time. We've seen him verticle jump 6 feet and pull birds out of trees.

Pretty dog-like, likes to place fetch in the house, go for walks (just couple of blocks on his lease) jump and pretend to tackle us. (He tends to scare non-cat people because of his size.)

That is hilarious that he drags a door mat around outside. And my old female Maine Coon was 17 pounds!!! But she also wasn't in the best shape.
