Diamonds & Rust

[MistyDawn]

Here's a hodge-podge of snapshots, one I even articized a little by playing around with it, of my new baby, Diamond. Isn't she just the most darling thing?

She’s gorgeous! I love those lynx tufts!

From the looks of things, when she's grown, you'd be able to make a paint brush from just one ear! Haha. I really wanted strong lynx tips and a smooth nose, while still having somewhat of a "chunky" face like Alaska has. She embodies that, with coat as an added bonus. Her face doesn't look especially chunky right now, but she's just a baby. You can hardly see more than fluff! From the look of her parents, I see no reason it won't chunk up a little more with age. If it doesn't, the graceful look can be a nice balancer, and I'll focus on that look with my other cats. Win/win.

Some more I just took willy nilly. She has some tear stains I edited out because she's recovering from a new-environment cold. I think it's better to leave them in for now. I just didn't want to make her or her breeder look bad, as it isn't the breeder's fault and she's apologized many times now, and it's just temporary, so I thought of it like a zit you could just take out. I don't think I did a very good job in hindsight though.

Also, I never got a good profile shot!

This one wins the "Unflattering picture of the year" award. Haha.

You are one lucky mommy! I wish I could a Maine coon, but the bank is tight with my 6 cats. Lmao. I could have 12 and not be satisfied. I need my own house first, and not a 2 bedroom apartment!! I always enjoy seeing them, so feel free to randomly spam my inbox with pictures, I will dote over them

You're too kind! I just posted some of her napping over in the thread Post Your Sleeping Beauties in the Fur Pictures And Videos Only subforum. She looks so innocent when she's asleep. She is a very loving little girl, but I think she's more playful than Alaska was. Their babies will be a handful!

@1CatOverTheLine You can see a profile shot of her above. Realized I hadn't taken one for you guys yet.

She is a beautiful "diamond in the rust"! I'm having a nose through maine coon threads as my found little (big) guy is looking more coon-y everyday!

He has the same big upright ears and super long lynx tips :-) it's just his coat is not so floofy... more smooth on his body than anything!

Where did you get your fur baby?
