Cat Forum / General Topics / May 2004Experience with Maine Coons
Hello Everyone, As we are getting two MC kittens I was wondering about whether it makes a difference if they are the same sex. We have pretty much decided on one male of the horde. If anyone has an interesting story about their Maine Coons and how they get along that would be appreciated.

They don't mature completely or stop growing until they are around 2, I understand. With my daughters, he is very bonded to her, but really timid around anyone else. He doesn't like to be picked up, or held, will sit *next* to you for petting, but not on your lap. He's really very gentle, and not aggressive with the other cats at all, in spite of his size. Sherry With the big breeds like MCs I think they don't feel secure being held and most laps are too small. I have a Siberian, Aragorn (pictures at link below), and he is less tolerent of being held then whe he was small. He is only 10 months old and already bigger then almost everyone else in the house. Siberians are big like MCs.

I couldn't get my old buddy Biggles off my lap especially in wintertime ;) and he was quite a big guy. The kids wanted him on their laps but they were just too small. I did consider Siberians but there are no local breeders and it was too much trouble to go to the States to check them out. You obviously love animals and are doing a great job. All the best.

SignatureIn Memory of Biggles www.1cooperfamily.com Greetings, I have a maine coon named Amatsu. Here is a link to Amatsu's precepts.... http://www.rain.org/~gadal/precepts.htm Anyhow, my cat loves to express his opinions, whether it be a mild meow or a loud howl. He loves the company of other cats and humans and although he is six years old, only in the past two years has he been a lap cat. He has become more affectionate as he gets older is in total control of the household. I believe it really depends on the environment that the cat lives in that will determine his/her happiness. Sincerely, Guylene Gadal He loves to have conversations and will be a lap cat when it is a bit chilly. He loves to have the company of other cats and other humans. > Hello Everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Bill We loved ours dearly and I would be a dream come true to own another one.He was a loving member of our family for year's and year's. Kit | Hello Everyone, | [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] | -- | In Memory of Biggles www.1cooperfamily.com Right, this is an easy one .... Take the one male you like - and it's best buddy! The breeder will be able to tell you which one it is. Carola That makes sense Carola. We have a little time to find that out.
