The Big Mellow

Halala Pala is one of our eight cats, the biggest of the bunch. His name ("Halala” or “Ha” for short) means “big mellow” in Hawaiian, and that fits his personality very well.

We’re pretty sure he’s mostly (or entirely) of a cat breed called “Maine Coon", which are noted for their appearance, their size, their reluctance to jump, and their funny little squeaky voices. Halala has all of these characteristic traits. Most cats that look this big are actually mostly fluffed up hair; Halala is really that big!

I caught him yesterday morning just hanging out on our chair…
