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.



This is Thomas, right after I brought him home from Seattle. So he was about four months old, full of curiosity and twitching. Such a sweet boy.



Thomas promptly began to fit into our lovely Halloween world, displaying a good eye for lighting, and a fondness for orange things. He's about six months old here.



Long cat...is very, very long. Seven months old, and having the first of the really major, disturbing, "weren't you smaller when I left for work this morning?" growth spurts.



This picture was taken yesterday. That tree is sized to full-grown, large cats. Note how much of it Thomas fills. I live with the Yeti.

And I wouldn't have it any other way.

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.
