Awwwwwwwww.
We have 3 cats, brothers who are 12 and showing their age now and a 2 year old feral cat who arrived when he was 4 months and never left. I was never a pet person at all, much less a cat lady but I have to say I am very attached to this new one of ours in particular.
I love what you said about Maine Coons being the dog of the cat world! I call Bowie "Cat-Dog" (anyone out there remember that cartoon?) because he is so puppy like!
I wish you many years of joy with this baby kitty.
