Exploring home

Ms. Holly joined our flock of 2 hominids, 2 labs and a granny cat just over a week ago.

The best decision I ever made was bringing him home 🖤

We adopted him yesterday from our breeder, this was the first meeting. Cassidy and Saxon are having a great time getting to know Ajax. A few hisses and some growls to be expected. Tails in the air and mostly sniffs and rubs. 😻

I adopted her in july from the humane society. her full name is Estrella Prue (prue was her name at the shelter) and i love her very very much! Since I adopted her I obv can't know 100%, but i am quite certain that shes mixed with maine coon to some extent. shes big and long and has several of the physical characteristics

Other Maine coon that use the “uman” toilet?

Our Apollo has very distinct facial expressions. We love how expressive his eyes and mouth are.

I am looking for Maine coon breeders in texas that won’t cost an arm and a leg. preferably around $2k-3k. I am in houston area so the closer the better but im willing to travel anywhere in texas to get one.

what color is this? i forgot what the breeder said lol. she's busy for the next week so idk when i'll get a response

My 10 year old Maine Coon has been messing with his tongue since his recent dental visit. I can’t help it, I think it is so cute!!

I've been reading a lot about kiln dried pine pellets for litter. Whats your experience? I use Dr Elsey's now. I was just hoping to find a more cost friendly option so I have even more money to blow on their freeze dried treats etc 🤣

I mean, isn’t she a beaut 😍

As per the the title, had a pure bred Maine for 12 months, recently after a trip away I’ve come home to find he’s lost a bit of weight and completely gone off his wet food, only eating Royal Canin dry kibble, for a few months prior he’s slowly gone off eating the Royal Canin kitten wet food in gravy to now nothing at all.

I’ve tried him with various brands including Whiskas, Untamed, and some big names in jelly or gravy, even gone as far as cooking fresh chicken to no joy.

But overall I’m looking for any tips to get him back eating as normal on wet food for the added nutrients for growth!

For context, dad was a champion show cat of 11Kg, most recently my guy was around 8Kg

Thanks!

And he’s polydactyl ❤️

Are your cats picky eaters?

My cat mainly eats meat and other animal parts, but he also eats wet food sometimes.
Some days he prefers meat, other days wet food, and sometimes he doesn’t seem to want anything at all. The types of meat vary depending on what’s available, but it’s usually Baltic herring, chicken, beef, or pork. Sometimes I feed him just one type of meat, and other times I mix them together.

It’s a complete guessing game trying to figure out what he’ll eat on any given day. Right now, he’s going through another phase where nothing seems to appeal to him, and he’s eating only tiny amounts. Usually, he eventually starts eating when there’s nothing else on offer for a while, but it honestly makes me feel awful when he barely eats anything for days. 😣

He’s a neutered male, almost 3 years old, and he’s been like this since he was a teenager. He’s at a normal weight, although on the slim side, and otherwise very energetic and seems perfectly healthy.
