Why people love the United States of America

Beruthiel's cat · 03-31-2004, 05:16 PM

Maine Coon cats are a distinct breed of cat developed in the USA. They are large, long-coated and come in a variety of colors. They have large feet with fur tufts between the toes which enable them to walk on top of deep snow (sort of like snowshoes). They also have very laid-back personalities and often tip the scales at twenty pounds or more.

Another genetic trait that has been passed on to cats in the USA is polydactylism -- meaning "many toed" cats. It originated among plain old farm cats in the eastern US and has spread throughout the years to other parts of North America. If you have a cat with six or seven toes, you can bet it's ancestor came from New England!

And more reasons to love the USA:

Ice cream in every flavor immaginable!
Baseball games on summer days.
The Great Lakes!
New Hampshire and New Mexico (so very different and so very beautiful!)
Great Lakes lighthouses!
PT Cruisers...

I'll shut up now!
