Once Upon A Time

Big brother Mr. Vic hosted our humans’ wedding.


Time for a little of our story…Once upon a time there were a couple of humans who met through an online dating service. They each had one of those profile things where they told some things about themselves. They soon discovered that they both love cats and that they both went to colleges in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) league. Poking fun at each other over their rival schools quickly became a frequent event.
Ethan graduated from Bates College in Lewiston, Maine and Ingrid from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. They fell in love, and at their wedding they hung Bates and Tufts banners and took photos. Their Maine Coon cat, Mr. Vic, “wrote” the invitation. When they decided to add two Maine Coon kittens to their family, they searched for the perfect names while they waited for the new little kittens to be old enough to leave their feline mom. Finally, names were found. And while they still squabble about whose alma mater is the better school, they both agree that Mr. Bates and Mr. Tufts are perfect!

    In the early h century, the Maine Coon’s popularity began to decline with the introduction of other long-haired breeds, such as the Persian, which originated in the Middle East. The last recorded win by a Maine Coon in a national cat show for over 40 years was in 1911 at a show in Portland, Oregon. The breed was rarely seen after that. The decline was so severe that the breed was declared extinct in the 19, although this declaration was considered to be exaggerated and reported prematurely at the time. The Central Maine Cat Club (CMCC) was created in the early 19 by Ethylin Whittemore, Alta Smith and Ruby Dyer in attempts to increase the popularity of the Maine Coon. For 11 years, the CMCC held cat shows and hosted exhibitions of photographs of the breed and is noted for creating the first written breed standards for the Maine Coon.

    While some sources claim that trait is thought to have occurred in approximately 40% of the Maine Coon population in Maine at one time, little evidence has been given to substantiate this claim.
