Everyone loves an underdog. Overcat, however, does not give a damn what you love.

Jeff Wills DonkeyShow - We hope so! Main Coons get to 20lbs +. Females' are a bit smaller by 7 lbs or so. She is polydactyl on both the front and rear paws (additional toes)
My wife describes her as fearlessly affectionate.
Long tail too.

She can receive signals from deep space galaxzies!

She looks you straight in the eyes, even while approaching for a snuggle.

Unlike most cats, they grow for 3 years before getting to be full size. This is 4 months so there is a lot to go. Skinny now too but that will likely change.
Import from the Ukraine so will need to teach her english.

Ignore the innocent look he has.
We named this one with a "soft" name of Simon, in hopes he would lose the "assertiveness" we first observed. Simon seems to be an error and we are re-thinking to "Gotti", "Rambo", or something equally indicative of a cat that's going to be trouble.
He seems fascinated with the water in the toilet bowl so those lids are now shut, least he drowns. This morning as I was standing in front of the upstairs toilet, Simon opted to "lets see what Daddy is doing" and jumps on the edge as I was peeing. I got his head wet before I could power down. He was promptly tossed into the bath sink where his head got bathed. He was very unhappy with this.

This is the feral cat called “Zesty”. She has followed us to our new home from the last, where she showed up one day and didn’t leave. Since I have known her, I have seen her catch and eat at least three rabbits, half a dozen birds, and countless mice. She is sweet to humans, the two house cats, and our dog. She’s a really weird, really awesome cat. She lives in our tool shed.

sounds to me like Zesty is somewhere between completely feral and a domestic cat
the middle ground is sometimes referred to as a "barn cat"
my guess from the description is that she is perfectly happy with things just as they are...

Just got the word that Ace has lymphoma.
He's only 7 years old. DiabloWife is beside herself with grief. Our dog died of cancer in May.

Zesty only tries to come inside the house when she’s hungry, she’s very happy living her life outdoors and sleeping in the garage or one of the outbuildings. We provide her with a little space heater and blankets when it’s cold.
She likes to hunt and she’s good at it.

”Feral” in Zesty’s case refers to how she was processed by the local SPCA, people bring them strays and they spay/neuter the cats, give them shots, and clip their ears before releasing them back into the “wild”.

I had used one of these years ago, with my very old, frail indoor cat. She quit sitting on the furnace's floor register (which wasn't on all the time, of course) and stayed comfortable on her pad.
The infrared heat goes right through their fur, and is quite effective for just 100 watts. They set it up about a foot from the bed. When it was really cold, the cat stayed there all day instead of roaming.
In the warm sunshine from last spring. "Don't come any closer."

I've picked up 4 heated pads similar to this over the years. One was a different brand, but regardless, my cats (all indoor) love them.

My neighbors feed a very skittish feral cat (with the ear clip). I can't get closer than 15 feet from her, but they can occasionally pet her, briefly, before she darts away again. They set up a box with blankets on their porch, and she stays there only when it's cold. Last winter, forecasts were below 10F, and I got them one of these 100W "lizard" infrared heaters, and a cheap aluminum clip light to mount it in.

Meet this handsome young lad. He goes by the name Copper. Copper is almost four months old. Copper is from Tootie's third litter.
Copper's favorite hobby is trying to bite off grandma's and grandpa's little toes.
Failing that, Copper will instead scratch grandma's and grandpa's big toes.
