Happy birthday, Thomas!

Today is Thomas's first birthday! Yes. One year ago precisely, Thomas Price Lynn Rhymer Taylor McGuire was unleashed upon the world by Betsy Tinney at Pinecoon Maine Coons, who was kind enough to then let him come and live with me. In honor of his birthday, Thomas has been brushed, cooed over, given treats, and didn't get yelled at for sleeping on the counter.

And now...pictures.

( We cut because we care. Also because large graphics are never a good surprise, not even when they're pictures of beautiful kitties.Collapse )

He's beautiful! He reminds me of my Gus quite a bit (though, considering that yours is from an excellent breeder and not a 'free to a good home' rescue, likely without all the fun health issues and behavioral issues from severe neglect).

Beautiful cats you have!

Thomas's only real behavior issue is the strong desire to sleep on the kitchen counter.

He is a very handsome cat. May you enjoy many, many, more birthdays together!

Thomas looks unamused.

he is so very, very cute.

And I am in envy of your bookcase. I can never find one that has shelves just big enough for a paperback. They seem to all be hardback sized.

They were actually built by my housemate. Sadly, because they're so precise, they don't fit the new "premium" paperback size.

Such a PRETTY boy.

Now I'm torn that the next cat (should I get one in the coming years) being another tortie (I'm a sucker for the coloring) or looking to get a Maine Coon.

You can get a tortie Maine Coon! They come in that color! I HAVE ONE.

Happy Birthday Thomas.

What a handsome young man.

I was amazed at the fact that MC's seem to keep growing and growing and growing. *looks over at Roarke* At least he finally grew into his ginormus paws.

They expand exponentially.

You live with two yeti, actually. Two very silly, lovable yeti that love to plug the tub drain and go for a swim when it's hot and open doors. Ah, the joy of cats. ;D Happy first birthday to Thomas and may there be many, many more.

seanan_mcguire

My yeti are good.

Yes.

So good.

He's beautiful! Maine Coons are such gorgeous kitties, and Thomas is definitely a prince among them. The happiest of birthdays to your kitty boy :)

Such a beautiful boy! I think that if/when I next have room for a cat in my life, I'll be in search of a Maine Coon rescue.

Good call.

It's important to remember pets birthdays, they so often get forgotten and they give us so much. Many happy returns to Thomas and hope he totally enjoyed his special day.

He got pettin's!

So cute!

He's so cute! We adopted a Maine Coon last week. (He's four, so pretty much hit his full growth and will just be filling out.) I already don't know how we lived without him.

Happy Birthday Thomas Price Lynn Rhymer Taylor McGuire!

Maine Coons are amazing.

Happy (belated) birthday to the yeti known as Thomas! I look forward to many years of stories about and photos.

My husband and I made a pact not to get another cat until the last of our three is gone. I keep trying to convince him that we should get a Maine Coon (or two) when the time comes, but he's only met one who was a bit of a wild thing (and not in a good way) and is dubious. The first one I met was a used bookstore cat who used to greet customers either inside or outside of the front door, and it was love at first sight for me. Hopefully I'll wear my husband down!

Take him to a reputable breeder, and introduce him to some big, well-socialized lover cats. He'll come around.

He's so handsome! I have a weakness for grey kitties. :D

I love my big blue boy.

A belated Happy Birthday to Thomas - he's a lovely cat, and growing amazingly. Thank you for sharing the photos with us.

He is Captain Massive.
