....yes, it really needs a bit patience to see a huge Coonie-male developing like this...o))

Our 11 years old "A*Indiana Jones of Sherokee", called Aramis, is born the 18. march 1997, he has the colour red cl. tabby, and red-brown eyes (not"green" as it seems on this picture.)

For us "Aramis" is very very special: not only because of all his optical advantages but because of his unbelievable charming and loving side: he never fighted or even spitted any time, he is gentle, friendly and especially human-related, he's talking a lot to us as well as to the other coonies, and he's the boss concerning his ladies. Even our chief-coonie-female Highlight gets cosy and sweet when she sees him... they still are a loving-couple.

But also his look is simply remarkable: he has perfect big ears, a huge chin, a gorgeous long-haired coat, an XXL-tale, and a massive, strong and big body: nowadays he weights around 10 kg without any fat...! No wonder - he has an incredible (already neutered) father:

CH. Wildborn’s Hotstepper of Sherokee,

It's interesting that Aramis was not like this before getting 4 or 5 years old: he did not have that chin, not that big ears, not that weight! It took him over 4 years to develop all these parts - he's a true example that Maine Coons need at least 4 years to really grow up!

Our Aramis is neutered, and he can look back to over 10 absolutely healthy years. He's still very active, loves the snow (yearly he's producing a winter-coat with a hair-length of over 12 cm....) and he's still hunting and climbing on the trees of our Coonies-Garden. We really hope to be able to live with him for many more years...!!

As all our Coonies is Aramis fully vaccinated against FCV/FHV/Panleukopenia, as well as against FeLV/FIV and rabbies, to keep his perfect health!
