He was a very nice cat and lived into his 20s. Maybe the Angora side of him kept him nice. But I guess they are like any other living thong. There are good ones and bad ones.

Some huge cat somewhere in the past family tree.

Cheetah, leopard. Something like that.

Are the Coons slow and lazy, or are they good ratters?
