Woman beside herself with worry about lost tabby Maine Coon cat allowed outside

-
Frances Jonas is, as you might expect, devastated at the loss of her tabby Maine Coon cat. It cannot be said that the cat is categorically lost but she was last seen around midday on November 25, 2023 in Russet Road, Weaverham, Cheshire, UK. The cat's name is Lagertha. She is a magnificent tabby Maine Coon.

Note: the story was published 12th December 2023 and therefore things might have changed but we don't have an update.

Frances Jonas said that Lagertha had been out for the day before but she's never been missing like this before.

She said that she was devastated and that she has "not slept for weeks. Some people might say it's only a cat but she's my cat. It's affected me massively. I run a shop - The Orchard on Lime Avenue - and my head is just not in anything."

She said that she did nothing for Christmas with her husband. She added that she can't focus on anything and she's just wondering about where her cat is. She is wondering whether Lagertha has been hurt and if anybody has found her.

She says that it's like losing a family member which it is. She says that Lagertha is very affectionate. She added that: "She also used to follow the kids to school and come back with the mums. Everybody knows her around here."

Frances Jonas said: "We just want her home. It would make my Christmas if she came home."

She is micro-chipped and Frances' husband has been out delivering leaflets.

Comment: if you know something about this cat and her whereabouts then please call Mike Jonas on (07592) 392673. It is a tragic story really and I know how Frances feels. There's nothing worse really than trying to get your mind around your lost cat because there is no closure. I must say that I am surprised she allowed her Maine Coon cat to go outside unsupervised. It's nice in one way but I don't think that it is practical to be honest but I don't want to criticise her. 

But they are just too attractive and I suspect that somebody has stolen her because in the UK there is a surge in pet thefts which came about after the Covid-19 pandemic when there was also a surge in the purchasing of pets mainly purebred dogs. This led to a sub-market in dog thefts which has encouraged cat thefts.

Because of at huge problem of theft in general in the UK, the UK Parliament is debating a new law called the Pet Abduction Act. It is an addendum to the Theft Act basically but specialising in pet thefts rather than general theft.

The extreme Maine Coon face

-
Image
This is an example of extreme breeding. This is a Maine Coon but this cat is an extreme and rare example of this breed. This is not the way they look normally. This face is almost like an aggressive robot with the piercing eyes and the huge muzzle.  Or like a lion's head. The head looks enormous and very heavy. It looks unreal. But it also looks very impressive.  And purchasers like impressive-looking domestic cats. But this not the face of a Maine Coon that wins cat show competitions as it does not fit the breed standard as accurately as the more moderate winners (see below).  In fact, the CFA standard is clear in that the cat should have a balanced appearance although this cat was not bred under the CFA breed standard as I understand it (see below).  Click here for more on the kind of MC which wins at shows .

Eerie picture of a Maine Coon sitting like a human on a chest of drawers

This is a slightly scary picture according to those who've seen it. One social media user said it was the devil and "If I walked into a room and saw that, I would assume some shit is about to go down". There is a ghostly stillness and sinister feeling about the image. 'Eerie' is a better description. This attractive cat appears to be completely at ease and comfortable sitting on top of a chest of bedroom drawers. The lighting from below (deliberate?) enhances the eerie effect. It seems possible that this is a photo-edited image but if so, it has been done with great skill. However, I don't think this is Photoshopped. Rethink: to be honest, the more I look at the picture, the more I feel that this is a photo-edited image. It is just too unnatural to be real. Although some domestic cats get themselves into some very strange positions. Maine Coon calmly sitting just like a human on a chest of drawers. Picture source unclear.

Black smoke Maine Coon Richie with a black face and diamond eyes

Black smoke Maine Coon Richie with a black face and diamond eyes. Photo: Instagram. OMG, this is a Maine Coon with an amazing face. His full name is "Richie du Mont d’Even". I think he has a black smoke coat which has created this black face with the assistance of other genes (polygenetic influence?) and ears with piercing, diamond eyes. This is a very special cat. Richie looked very interesting but relatively plain as a kitten. Image: Instagram. His paws are balls of fluff. He has a mane that goes over his head like a halo. He's angelic and other-worldly. The lynx tips on the end of his ears are smoky grey which makes them stand out. They are a bit like the opposite to the black lynx tips of the wild caracal.  He lives in France with his human: Adriana Piraino. He was born on 7th November 2020. He is still very young. They say Maine Coons reach adulthood at around the age of 4. He is going to be enormous as well. Richie with Adriana. Photo: Instagram Richie was bred b
