Cat Tales -Post yours
Problem:
Two cats. The 9 year old male nibbles a little amount all day long. The other female cat is about 4 years old. She eats like a horse. She will eat until there is nothing left. She eats three times what he does. I try rationing. I tried separating them. She just keeps getting fatter. |

You guys are sure good for a chuckle
I'm saving my hollering when I start saving empty margarine containers or started wearing one of those rain bonnets that look like plastic vegtable bags. |

It must be in the genetic makeup of Maine Coon males to turn into hoovers if you keep them indoors. Here's a recent one of our Coons, Rocky Raccoon (a.k.a. The Rock) has been gaining a pound about every 6 months.

I've always been interested in Maine Coons. Do either of yours swim?

I was never a cat person until my roommate moved in with her cat, Kitty. That cat literally makes me laugh EVERYDAY. Now when my roommate and I separate, I will probably have to get my own cat. Better be as funny as Kitty!

I havn't had to test whether they swim? I am assumming it is something they can genitically do if needed? * shrug * Just one is a main coon. He has an interesting story. He came to us as a feral kitten. He and his siblings were captured but the mom got away. The lady brought a bunch of these kittens to the vet and plunked down some money. She told the vet to distroy them! and walked away. Of couse he didn't and we got a very beautiful guy. Maybe a google search can tell you more about maincoons? I don't know really, just that they are wonderful and beautiful. |
