What a gorgeous looking chap! Just came across this thread, so great that his story at least is a happy one!

Maybe he's got some Maine Coon in him?

That is what we are thinking as he has other Maine Coon characteristics too.  I definitely know he came from a bog standard feral mother though so daddy must have been a bit of posh!! 

Wow, he's long enough to be act as an excellent draft excluder when he lies against your doors!  He is absolutely gorgeous 

Brilliant!  Think I'll start training him now

How did I miss this post?


So well done Luckylady - what a great job you've done (and what heartache) he is absolutely super.

Mouse is the image of our outdoor cat 'Mighty Mac'.  He came from a farm too - not exactly feral but pretty rough living (they don't believe in using vets).   Such a lovely story, I'm so pleased your hard work paid off

I, too , missed this thread, but read it all the way through and loved it.  He is going to be a really gorgeous cat, and well done you  for keeping him alive against all the odds.  He will be really special to you always

He certainly is a special to us DBE.  He's teething at the moment though and, boy, do we know it.  He is now as big as our adult cats at just 5 months old and they don't appreciate his Cato (Inspector Clouseau's butler) style ambushes.  He hides behind doors and flies through the air at them then runs away.  The others are very patient with him despite his size and it is easy to imagine them just rolling their eyes  .
Most recent pic - so angelic

I love his white bib and long curly whiskers

He is getting more gorgeous every day

So very gorgeous. I wonder if he knows how lucky he was to be born on your land.

He is so very special and a credit to you and your families very hard work

Wow, what a handsome chap he's grown into 

[ZaktheLad]

He is absolutely gorgeous!

Such a handsome boy!  Love the white ruff and the big yellow eyes

Thank you for your lovely comments.  He is a lovely kitten though rather naughty at the moment.  Think he is paying us back for having him castrated on Monday. He gets up to all sorts of cheeky kitten stuff but has no idea how big and heavy he is now.  The other cats run a mile when they see him awake as they know they are going to get flattened by him pouncing on them.  He is nearly five and a half months old now and much bigger than our female adult cats and the same size as our adult males.  He is going to be a beast when he is full grown. Hope he stays as soppy and cuddly as he is now with me.

One very special cat...he thinks and possibly is the ruler of your home!
