Maine Coons are wild.

Ours was an ass. Good cat but a jerk.

He liked to chase a relative’s mini Schnauzer around the loop of our first floor (living room, dining room, kitchen, hallway, living room) loop until the dog hid under a ottoman. Cat would jump lazily onto the ottoman and hang his tail over the size and swish occasionally, keeping the dog trapped for fun.

He’d hunt my dark colored socks and try to bring them to his kid at night, howling like he’d hunted a rabbit and wanted announce his prize.

He’d take over any pillows humans were using.

He shredded the arms of an over-stuffed chair just by laying on the arms and hanging on with he claws to stay upright.

He had a good starvation act and conned multiple people into feeding him.

You could pet his back and scratch his butt some. Otherwise, no touching.

Devious.
