7. I want to knit some mittens for Chasca's birthday. What size paws does she have?

Chasca is perfectly adapted for life in the snowy forests of Maine. She has no need for mittens. Her fur is thick and it grows in tufts between the toes of her enormous feet, and in her ears, to keep them warm. Her tail is generously proportioned too, resembling that of a raccoon, and she uses it like a scarf.

The face is at the leading end when Chasca is walking. Unless she's walking backwards, in which case it's at the other end.
 

9. I've heard that, due to her fascination with water, Chasca has been picked for a future manned mission to Mars. Is that true, and can I be that man?

It is true that Chasca is fascinated by running water. It's better than T.V. She refuses to confirm her future travel plans.
 

10. If I see a Maine Coon in a pub, what's the best chat-up line?

"Here, kitty kitty kitty!".
 

11. How intelligent is the average Maine Coon?

No-one knows for sure. In 1985 the U.S. Government tried to determine the breed's intelligence by giving a Maine Coon an I.Q. test. The test was set so that a score of 70% would place a human in the top 1% of the population. The cat looked through the paper for less than a minute then walked out of the exam room declaring that the test had been "devised by a bunch of retards".
