April Cat of the Month #Wallpaper, Maine Coon

No fooling, this beautiful young Maine Coon cat is part of the feral colony and is our Cat of the Month wallpaper calendar for April. The name arises from the myth that Maine Coons were the product of interbreeding between feral cats and raccoons. Genetically impossible, but an interesting story. We don't really know where they came from but they are beautiful to look at. One legend involves British Captain Charles Coon sailed up and down the New England coasts in the 1800s and took some of his seafaring cats with him when he came into port. These ship cats mated with cats on the land and people started referring to them as  “Coon’s cats.” Who knows? They are gentle giants when full grown and one of the few cat breeds that actually likes water and may go for a swim. Certainly not all of them, though.


Note that, starting last month, I've made a change in that the wallpaper photo above is in the 16x10 ratio, like you find on Macbooks and MS Surface tablets, but I still have the slightly wider HD 16x9 format in the link below, along with the usual 4x3 "TV" ratio and a mobile version. One of them will fit your computer or mobile device! Here's the link:
