...is the approximate range a thoroughly-soaked 29lb Maine Coon Cat can spray water, upon giving a very enthusiastic shake after being dragged inside but before anyone can get to said cat with a large towel.

Now excuse me, I think I need another towel! :shrug

Well you know Jarl, in order for your conclusion to be scientifically valid, you're going to have perform the experiment multiple times and replicate the results... 8-)

Jarl have you heard of the Savanna Cat; it is a house cat, but it is definitely not common? They are lager than Main Coons. They can be as tall as sixteen inches and weigh as much as thirty five pounds. They are banned in some states.

No they are not racist, they are will to eat anyone of any race. They are not picky eaters; is that not a lovable trait, until perhaps you notice that your dog is missing.

Update: fifteen feet is the approximate distance said cat can cover when making a rather-impressive leap onto the bed. I might have been more impressed had the cat not landed directly on me!

Impressive...and personally I would have been less impressed had said cat landed on the bed but missed its actual target, i.e., you. ;)

Jarl, you have a Maine Coon Cat; how do your dogs feel about it? Have they gotten over the shock? Are any of them missing?
