Marla looking straight at the camera, her tufted ears and silver ruff catching the light

A black smoke Maine Coon.
The heart of Big Black Cattery.

Marla.

Feral Fawcett

Soft fur. Hard stare.

Meet her

Meet Marla

Black smoke.
Silver in the light.

A dark coat, a silver undercoat, and those unmistakable ears. Marla is the Maine Coon at the heart of Big Black Cattery.

For now, it starts with her: the window light, the enormous paws, the toy just out of reach. A place to get to know Marla as she grows.

A little film

Eyes on
the prize.

A toy. A moment of concentration.
Then the paws come out.

6.5 seconds with Marla

Sound off to start. Play it your way.

The many
looks of Marla.

The stare, the stretch,
the softer side.
