Thanks for the correction...yes, my boy is just a delight. I have had 
one other Maine Coon - Piper Cub -- and he used to take walks with 
us..also escort me on the long trek to take the garbage out....he'd 
arrive out of nowhere, tail up, I'd call him my coldstream guard 
cat...They are the best! I think I'll post a picture of my Obi Wan
