Feathers......I never thought about it but I suppose that Barney especially looks like he could have some Maine Coon in him. I rescued both him and his sister from my daughter's farm. There were a whole lot of various ages of cats and kittens not in too good shape. I took each one to the vet and got the proper shots for them along with flea and tick medicine and a good quality cat food. They were both so appreciative. They are excellent temperament. The only thing is that my house is very hairy.
