This list is about the PEDIGREED MAINE COON CAT.

Please brag about your cats, ask questions, coon-gratulate each other on show wins, kittens, and cat-related events! Health, breeding, and showing issues as well as general care issues are welcome.

Pet Owners, breeders and exhibitors are INVITED to ask advice, join discussions and post anecdotes!

This is a place to come for information and help, _NOT_ a place for flames. Lively discussion is always welcome. We envision this list as a "family room" where people with similar interests can gather and share.

Fridays are "Friday Fun Days" when list members can post jokes, recipies, stories about their lives during the past week, or whatever else they'd like. Gets the weekend off to a good start! (PLEASE keep the jokes REASONABLY CLEAN!)

**"Adoption, rescue or retired cat" posts are for Mondays ONLY.**

We love ALL cats but the focus of this list is PEDIGREED MAINE COON CATS who have or are eligible for registration from one of the accredited cat registries, such as CFA, TICA, ACFA, CFF, ACA, CCA/AFC, GCCF, FIFe, The ACF, and others worldwide.

ALL NEW MEMBERS ARE MODERATED, NO EXCEPTIONS! ALL POSTS MUST BE SIGNED WITH A GIVEN NAME AND GENERAL LOCATION (STATE IN THE USA; COUNTRY IN THE REST OF THE WORLD).

NO ADVERTISING ALLOWED - New litter birth announcements, cattery web site listings, and show win brags are not considered advertising. Product endorsements/recommendations are allowed when pertinent to discussion.

E-mails with slanderous remarks about another person or persons will not be tolerated. The larger membership's enjoyment of the list is at all times a higher priority than any single individual's membership; if in the opinion of the list owner/moderator an individual member presents or becomes a disruptive focus, that member can and will be unsubscribed with or without notice or recourse. This is at the list owner's and moderator's sole discretion.
