This is Mika, Maine Coon. Adopted after she decided she hated the four other cats she was living with and was going to kill them. Not just the usual yowling and hissing but full on attacks leading to vet bills. She's calmed down a lot now.
Sadly I have to report that Mika is no longer with us. She was diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy (heart failure) two weeks ago. This is something Maine Coons are prone to due to their size. Unfortunately with cats, by the time they show symptoms of the illness it's usually too late to do anything, in the end we had to take the decision that it was better for her not to struggle on any longer and she died peacefully earlier today.

Not happy. :(
