Malibu is a purebred European Maine Coon cat. This is a photo of her at the Pueblo Reservoir.
-
These are Malibu’s parents. They are from Russia and Poland
-
When Malibu was 12 weeks old, I flew to Connecticut where I picked her up from her cat breeder and brought her back home.
-
She travels in the car quite often and loves looking out the windows.
-
She loves riding in the boat and looking at all of the bugs, This is Malibu at the Lake of the Ozarks.
-
Here she is playing in the leaves this past fall. She was enjoying the cool weather.
-
Malibu’s birthday was on Nov. 1, and in 2022 she turned two. We celebrated with birthday hats and shrimp.

She even helped my family and I set up the Christmas tree. Malibu was laying underneath the tree when I caught her red-handed messing with the Christmas decorations.
