Hi, Not too familiar with the Main Coon breed, but Wendesday night on "The Tonight Show" there were three little girls with their pets and inventions they had built.

The first little girl had an orange tabby type cat that I swore was a Maine coon, but when Leno asked her what type it was after commenting on the size she didn't know. I didn't know MC's came in this coloration.

Beautifull animal by the way. It's clear that Jay Leno is an obvious animal lover by the way he played with each. I think he would have taken the cat home if he could.

Response to Main Coon on the "Tonight Show"?

This mysterious Maine Coon-esque cat has made several appearences on the Tonight Show in recent history -- including starring in a skit in which the cats have a SuperBowl party while the owner's away. I suspect that Leonard (my MC) did the same thing this year! Just proves that Maine Coon's are extremely talented!

My beautiful brown tabby Maine Coon Brutus (Adentlo Robert de Brutus, to be grand) had a brown tabby father, a blue recessive mother, and his uncle, whom the breeder had kept as an altered pet, was a beautiful yellow ginger, with gorgeous copper eyes.

Maine Coons sure do come in red (orange) tabby. It's my very favorite color, in fact. :-) Check out the May Cat of the Month at http://www.mcbfa.org/ for another picture of a red tabby MC.
