I'm not really for breeding animals, since there are so many in the world that need love as it is and are already born (and humans too, for that matter), but who can resist a cute kitten?
i would love to be the kind of person who gets shelter animals....but i got my first maine coon because my ex-fiance was allergic to cats and maine coons are easier on allergies than most cats....and i fell in love with the breed. they are low shed AND low allergy AND have sweet dog-like personalities...i think i could maybe get two of those qualities from a shelter cat, but not all of them. and the allergy thing is very important as my husband and many of our friends have allergy issues.
Ah, allergies are a bummer. I'm actually wondering if I might have one. My eyes have been dry and itchy lately. I sure hope not. But I'm glad there is an alternative for allergic animal lovers!
yeah, ross's are so minor that maine coons don't bother him at all, but for our VERY allergic friends it often makes the difference of them having a reaction vs. being fine as long as they don't touch their face, or being fine as long as they take a benedryl, vs. only being able to spend an hour in our house.
