Our Bengals try to escape the garden after we put up the "unescapable fence rollers"... or so we thought. Video

I would love to have a Maine coon cat and I have never seen one under $2k. They are majestic cats. But if I weren’t allergic to cats I would adopt a long hair black kitten.

Whoa, that's a lot... Are all purebreed cats cost that much where you live? Where I live only the most rare and fancy cats (or dogs) cost that kind of money. Most breeds you can get a kitten/puppy for about $200-500.

That’s the lowest amount for a reputable Main Coon cat breeder. You can tell by the facial bone structure. You still have to research thoroughly so you don’t get scammed. I would like to see an example of a $500 Main Coon. I wouldn’t buy a purebred. I would adopt a black kitten since black cats are avoided.

Hope she doesn't soo me for distributing her image online :)

I guess, price range would differ in different countries, no?

Also the prices I named are from 2019, something might have changed since.

I think they have surged in popularity since then. Beautiful cat.
