    That is an extreme weight for a coon. To be honest most males barely reach 15.
    OP if you want to see some coons and talk to people about owning them and where to get them check out some of the cat shows.

    lol davey180 - the "OP" bit of Themadhouse's post suggests that the second part of his/her answer was directed at Shlid. :D OP is an abbreviation for Original Poster :cool:

    I would take the time to learn about Maine Coons, dont jump in to getting the first kitten you are offered. There are a few breeders in Ireland but they will want to learn about you first and your knowledge of cats. I find people see big cats like the coons and jump straight into getting one without really thinking about it, ie they should be kept indoors, they need really big enclosed litter trays, they can be bossy with other cats they need to be groomed maybe even washed every now and again. They are also fantastic cats who adore their humans.
    You should be talking about waiting a coule of months for a kitten, if you are offered one straight away i would be concerned. Check out the breeder thoroughly.
