Nacoma (1990-2008)

SWEET DREAMS, our big boy, our main Maine Coon, our little old man, our "Nack Attack." May they be filled with hand-stitched catnip pillows, on-demand chin scratching, and oven-roasted chickens that fly off the counter onto the kitchen floor.

A Cat for People Who Aren't Yet Cat People

WE MET THIS GENTLE GIANT at the Atwater Village Farmers Market. She is Francesca, a "senior" at age 10, up for adoption at a neighborhood no-kill shelter, Casitas Cat Hotel. Part Maine Coon, she is, as Mrs. Newbie puts it, the cutest cat not currently in our house. And if we weren't already at our max pet per square foot ratio, Francesca would have already sized up the competition. Maybe someone else will see this and help the old gal.
