Max: A CFA Regional Winning Maine Coon Cat in Kentucky


Max lives in Louisville, Kentucky with a family of four people and three Verismo coons. He is a very loved companion. The Kitten on the right is Max, Verismo Maximillian Maestoso, and the center Kitten is Wotan-of-Valhalla.

When Max was a kitten, we all used to call him "Red-Nose".
Now Max is so intelligent that he has a very accurate "internal clock". Every day, family members observe Max waking up and walking over to the outside door to sit there, just minutes before his "A" person, Mom, is scheduled to arrive home from work.

Max’s personality is like Wotan’s. They are both incredibly smart and know who their "A" people are. Max is a total "mush".
At home, Max is the only cat having the privilege of sleeping in the master bedroom bed with both adults.
Max, like his other two showing brothers, traveled nicely by plane to shows at Philadelphia, Texas, and Tulsa.
Here is Max at a show when he was a 5 month-old kitten.

GP,RW Verismo Maximillian Maestoso was a contender for a national placement in Premiership right up to the last weekend, and may have achieved one if a vet tech had not shaved his leg.
