Usually Maine Coons are distinctly social. Fred follows me around from room to room sometimes, but pleasantly not all the time. He complains when I pick him up, but then will settle into my lap and enjoy a scratch behind the ears. Ours aren't pedigree, so aren't quite as large as standard examples, but they have all the traits including spritzes of hair between their toes and from their ears, and lavish coats. A friend dubbed Fred The Cashmere Cat. He is also referred to as Sugar and Stripes. Some Maine Coons will accept petting and scratching and then slowly arch their backs and topple over. Fred does this sometimes. When we lost our much adored American shorthair, and we went from three cats to two, it really reduced the labor on care, feeding, and litter. You have to find the right number and not overdo. BROBS has nine cats! But he's young, and I think they are indoor-outdoor cats. Ours stay in.
kurtbob, if the torti gets in your lap, I'm not sure it can be properly described as feral. I fed some feral campus cats for many years, their tribe increasing and dwindling, but they were not approachable. They'd stand back while I filled dishes, and then approach when I stood back. I think the torti has been owned. I'm always puzzling over various visiting cats as to their status. Usually, if their weight is good and their coat is smooth, they belong to someone. Cats are sociable, and gad about. A friend of ours received a Christmas card with his cat posed by the tree with a neighbor family.
