It wasn't really as long as a Persian's...  She had literally three
different coats of fur, the top one, the undercoat, and a different
texture coat between... had a very serrated tongue to get through all
the layers when she groomed, except that she rarely ever did groom
herself, only you...  ;/  Maine coon cats are noted for two things, the
three coats of fur, and above normal intelligence... ok, a third thing,
too, they tend to be big.  When we did some research, apparently the
three coat thing is pretty much exclusive to coon cats...

My feelings exactly.   :)   Or when listening to the traffic reports in
the morning, detailing where all the accidents are... I'm just thankful
that generally I've never been in or near accidents some of those spots,
where I do often drive thru or by...  ;)
