Elaine C Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hi Yes, my neighbour has a Maine Coon, a huge ginger, fluffy, softy, friendly thing with a hug tail big fluffy tail. He really is very friendly. Has to be said though that one of my sources of anxiety with the chooks. When we got the chooks he was immediately on the scene and terrified the life out of them. Must be his big fluffy fox lick tail but they did and still do get very anxious if he's around. He even tried to squeze himself through the omlet netting a few times. Less interest shown now but still on my guard as I think given the chance he would try his luck. I now he's brought pigeons home as a present for my neighbours. Probably his interest is because he is young but they are huge breeds. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 are they real dog pants or people pants??!! They were my daughters I cut a hole for her tail, the dog that is I put them in the wash, not to be worn by my daughter again. However they ended up in her knicker draw and she wore them I felt really bad, poor kid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Doesn't she chew the knickers off? I can't imagine they'd last longer than 30 seconds on Jazz No she was very good and kept them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Great news Paola! You've got the same Habitat bench as me - except that mine is shorter. Do you have the matching table? When OH and I got married we already had everything we needed so we asked for Habitat vouchers I felt for the poor boy who had to count them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 No, unfortunately not. I use the bench as a table at the end of the sofa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellekatz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Wooooooo, hoooooooo I am collecting Bella on the 21st Dec I am sooooooo excited Well done Paola - she will be a wonderful Christmas present!! Maine coons are very friendly cats though not demanding - and their coat doesn't take too much looking after. Get plent of cat food in though as she will eat much more than a normal kitten! Which breeder are you getting her from? You can look at htehttp://www.maine-coon-cat-club.com web site - they have lots of information about then there. Hope you enjoy her!!

Paola Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thank you for the link Bellekatz I am getting her from Kassaro. They are on the list of breeders on the site. The christmas tree is going to be tied down this year At least I have plenty of time to prepare before she arrives. I feel a little nervous as it has been so long since I have had a kitten.

Beauty-Box Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 When I saw BelleKatz' big male Maine coon he was so beautiful I wanted one! Now I've seen the pictures of kittens I want one even more! Must make a special meal for hubby tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Must make a special meal for hubby tonight! Good luck Rebecca!!! Actually I know a breeder who has one girl left - the sister of my new kitten - if you are interested I can PM you the details - she is gorgeous!

Paola Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Bellekatz, I cannot believe how many animals you have I tried to have a look at your Photo Bucket pics but it would not work What is the best litter to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 (edited) I have just ordered a tree,& decided that Chilli, who is an utter minx,is to be locked out of the living room for this Christmas. I know he won't mean any harm,but he really can't control himself when it comes to jingly jangly things Edited November 28, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'm worried about Biscuit on that front too Sarah, not only is he naughty, but he's so heavy that he could bring down a 6' Christmas tree without any problems! I'll have to tell him off whenever he looks at it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yup, Hartley is looking at a couple of weeks being locked out the living room - she'd be up the tree as soon as she saw it, given half a chance. Tigger, on the other hand, is just far too fat and lazy to contemplate climbing, si I doubt we'll have any problems from him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
