Yes, Maine coons do like to get a good tummy rub. And, they know how to make this irresistible to The Human. Maine coons are a "natural breed", perfectly adapted to their original environment. As a biologist, 99% of the traits make perfect adaptive sense to me. But, I confess, this one has me puzzled. Maxwell after work! jorbasa.

And, no discussion about Maine coon belly fluff would be complete without a reprise of Dave the Maine coon- Dave the Maine Coon Gets a Massage p.s.

Dave the Maine coon is back! Dave's human has finally posted another YouTube of Dave. I've been waiting and waiting! I've featured two earlier YouTubes of Dave, and imo they are must-watch delightful. Not only is Dave delightful, but Dave's Human has great video "style". And, if you go to my original posts, you can read the entertaining and enlightening comments of Dave's Human. "Dave and the Straw" is here, and "Dave the Cat Playing Fetch" is here. Direct link to below is here (7:09)-(I usually post shorter stuff, but this is so much fun to watch!) Dave's Human says: Dave is a 3.5 year old Maine coon and likes to get a massage. But he'll tell you in no uncertain terms when he doesn't like what you are doing. I responded: Dave! I love Dave! What exactly did you do that he didn't like? Somehow from the vids of Dave before, he didn't seem like the biting type! Great video! Dave's Human says: The first thing i...

I am so in love with Dave the Maine coon kitteh! That is some special cat. I featured Dave in an earlier post: Dave the Cat Playing Fetch . Here's another installment: Dave and the Straw I told Dave's human (via email): I loved watching his face when you kept defeating him. Ears back, eyeball glare saying "okay- stop messing with me". And, Dave's human responded: the look on dave's face: priceless. thats my fav part of that video when he looks at me like that. Hmmm... nice to know that I got some "kitteh aptitude" (grinning widely). Click "Maine coons on YouTube" label for more great YouTubes of Maine coons.

I'm having fun looking for "sleeper" kitteh YouTubes- videos that don't have a gazillion hits like (fanciful title) "The Absolute BEST A1 Cat Video EVER", but videos that any dedicated kitteh lover will enjoy. Here's one (see below) I've watched over and over: Dave the Cat Playing Fetch . And, some extra information from the YouTube comments- Dave's human notes that it's not Dave meowing in the video, but Helen the Cat. Look carefully and you'll see her crouching at the left of the dishwasher. Pretty "subtle" the way Dave makes it clear that fetch time is over, eh? ----- Update, human of Dave and Helen left a comment: "Helen was born in around 1993 and died in my garden last august 21st. :( i still miss her and so does dave." I already knew this, because I had also watched his very sweet YouTube about Helen the Cat- Day in the Life of Helen (1992-2007) . Anyone who loves kittehs knows how hard it is to lose them ...
