Furkats Buttercup P Meadow |

| Buttercup was our first Maine Coon
Polydactyl. We wanted a Poly and in our search found her as well
as another Maine Coon adult cat, Hanna. It only seemed right that
the two should come here together, so our adventure with our first Maine
Coons started. Originally we had no intentions of showing cats but it seemed that one thing led to another and before we knew it we were in the show ring. It must be noted that although she is a registered Maine Coon, the Polydactyls can only be shown as House Hold Pets or in New Traits. No Championship classes. This was not a deterrent and off we went. Our first show was a great learning experience, one we are not soon to forget. Buttercup was not in the least impressed but stoically went along. After a few more shows she improved and we did also. As time went along though, it was apparent that Buttercup did not like the life of a show cat and preferred to stay home. Her show career spanned Ontario, Canada and into the United States. She was pretty proud of her unique toes and did well for her time in the ring.
