Saw an ad for Maine Coon kittens in Southern Thailand a few years back but I wasn't in the position to take care of one then.. However things have changed so would be interested if anybody has any info on them

Wow, really? Seems like the climate would be really difficult on these cats. My dad has two, and while they are gorgeous cats, they have alot of very thick hair. I would think they would find the heat and humidity hard to handle.
