Fisher the Maine Coon Cat
by Robert Hudson
Fisher is a Maine Coon Cat that is the perfect example of the majestic breed: large stature, ear tuffs, lion like mane, and a thick long hair coat.
The breed is known for it’s large size and confident swagger, and Fisher is no different. His humans take him traveling to national and state parks, beaches on the coast, boating and hiking. Fisher dives in unafraid and welcomes the adventure. He meets many people along the way being an ambassador for the breed.
The traveling coon
Fisher the Maine Coon is now 2 1/2 years old and his family got him used to going on trips from the time he was a kitten. “Fisher was 9 weeks when we brought him home, we were lucky enough to visit him a couple of times before he was old enough to formally join our family.”

“All the reasons we looked for Fisher are the best parts about his breed. He is independent, willing to try anything, sociable, curious, and loves the water.”
“Fisher is about 18 pounds, but looks bigger because he is so fluffy. When he stands on his hind legs, he can reach up to my shoulders fully extended, I’m all of 5 feet 2 inches. And he is still growing”…
“Fisher is willing to try just about anything. Breed characteristics include independence and being adventurous. We love that his incentive is the action.”
“We take Fisher everywhere we can. That can be running errands, an RV trip, or a sunset cruise on our boat. He loves to be out and about, so we look for every opportunity to take him out and have fun. Fisher is calm, he is busy watching the world, he interacts and loves to watch.”
