Nickname: Sid
Foundation: F2
Color: White  (w 62)
From: Maine

From Maine, through breeder collegue Donna Chase: Sid is an F1 (first generation), Maine origin foundation Maine Coon.

What makes Sid so special is that he is one of the very few original Maine Coon cats (formerly called Maine cats or Maine shags). He was found and registred right in the State of Maine. Sid represents an excellent example of the old fashioned, traditional Maine Coon type. He has a beautiful head and gorgeous eyes, a strong muzzle and chin. His coat is heavier than what we see nowadays but needs better shag. He is heavy boned and has a well balanced body and a nice long tail. Sid is very big for a foundation cat.
He now weighs over 18 pounds but agreed with me yesterday that he wouldn't mind losing a pound or two :-)

What we like so very much about Sid is that he is a real gentleman and never behaved like a stud male, other then when it came to breeding a girl. Sid has a very sweet, gentle and outgoing character and loves to raise kittens. However, he needed to be the highest in rank among males when he was still whole. When we talk to Sid, he right away rolls over and lets us pet his belly. He loves to sit on laps and purrs constantly. Sid has captured our hearts with his charme. 

Update 2021: 
Sid is now presented in many pedigrees around the world. Some of his F6 offspring, paired with my other foundation lines, became Grand Champions and Regional Winners in CFA. A big THANK-YOU to Donna Chase for letting me use him in my program!
