KIDS AND THEIR COONERS....
Kids of all ages love Coon River's Maine Coon Cats and Kittens.  Let's show you some pictures sent to us by our Extended Family Members:  Our Coon River Adopters and Friends, having big fun with their big Cooners!

From Amarillo, Texas, Coon River Wyatt gives one of the Van Winkle boys some lovin...The Van Winkles own 3 of our kids, Wyatt, Doc and Lucy!
From St. Louis, Missouri, baby Coon River Goblin learns the fine art of sidewalk graffiti from Joshua....Joshua's family has two Coon River Cooners, Goblin and Thor!
Our good friends Fred and Mary Lou in Lexington, Kentucky, have 5 Coon River Cooners!  Here, Fred tries to decide where he'll sleep since the bed is full with John Coffey, Abby Gail and Roxy getting ready to go nighty-night.  Dolly Rose and Sadie Grace are no doubt in the kitchen!
From Central Indiana, and taken when she was just a baby, Coon River Morgan shares a tender moment with Mom Cindy.  We went to Morg's one year old birthday party at Cindy and Bob's house last year and Morg is big and simply spectacular!
From Illinois, Sharon and Mike have our Coon River Moe.  Here, Mike divides up the treats between their beautiful canine, Hunter, and 12 week old Moe, just a day or two after they got Moe in his new home with them!
In Louisville, Kentucky, Lilly has the beautiful Coon River Huck living with her and her friend Evan.  Here, Evan shows off Huck when he had just turned 5 months, yes, we said MONTHS, old!  Huck, not Evan, you big silly....
Our Good Friends, Steve and Lynn Turner love Maine Coons!  At left, Lynn shows off her party hat to Yahtzee at Yahtzee's 1st birthday party while Steve, at right, has his arms full with Yahtzee and Monopoly!

Poor Steve had to have his arms surgically reattached after holding these big boys for just a few minutes!  Lynn's plastic surgery to repair the claw marks on her head went well too!
The Wells Family in Great Falls, Montana, has Coon River's Jiggs and Maggie.   Jiggs and Mags were the two Cooners shown in the famous picture that spread over the internet taken at our home when they were just young babies, sticking their paws and heads in the mixing bowl after Rette had made frosting for a cake she was taking in to work.  At left, Jiggs and Mags give loving to one of the Wells'  kids and at right, Jiggs does his best Maine Coon mink shoulder wrap imitation!
The wonderful Hartman Family of Central Indiana has 2 Coon River Cooners and  John and Paula's Mom and Dad also have one of our kids.  At left, one of the beautiful Hartman girls holds Coon River Poogan, a gorgeous girl who is just shy of 2 years old in the pic.  At Top, another of the Harman girls holds Coon River Stuart at 13 months old and 13.5 pounds of bigness with lots of growing yet to do!  At right, Mom Paula cuddles with big boy Stuart when he was about 8 months old or so.
Rod and Debra in North Central Indiana have 4 Coon River Maine Coons:  Our Famous Coon River Snow White "Little Giants" Stormie and Windy, the black and white and beautiful Sparky, and the jet black Coon River Bel Ragazzo, known as "Ragz."  During a recent visit from relatives, at left, Avery and Lydia enjoy a restful Sparky.  Below, you can see the joy in Lydia's face as she cuddles with Stormie.  I don't know how joyous  Randy, at right, was with a huge Windy spread out accross his back, or with Sparky getting ready to help him with his keystrokes....
In Illinois, the wonderful Karoff family has two of our kids, the incredible big blue and white Coon River Sonic and Famous Coon River Snow white boy, Snowball.  Snowy is Sonic's younger brother.  Clockwise from top, Brandon has a peaceful moment with Sonic.  One of the hardest things to do in life is teach a cat to climb a ladder.  At right, Brandon taught Sonic in about 15 minutes when Sonic was just a baby.  Today, Sonic doesn't need a ladder.  He just jumps up on the top bunk.
Below, Sonic is a tad over a year old and well out of his "baby" days as demonstrated by Brandon straining to hold his weight.  At left, Brandon holds 6 month old Snowball.  Today, Snowy is almost as big as Sonic, who has continued to grow....
See?  Kids of all ages truly love those Gentle Giant Coon River Maine Coon Cats and Kittens.  We'll add more pictures on a new page as we receive them!

In case our background tune sounds familiar but you just can't place it,  it's "I've Been Thinking About You"  by The London Beat!  We always think about our babies and our extended family members; Our Coon River Adopters and Friends!
