Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2003Attack kitten
Here is an amusing story about my 11wo kitten. She had been napping on my lap when she woke up and went into attack mode. She started tumbling all around chasing and attacking her tail. Then I would reach out to pet her and she would attack my hand, gently biting it and meowing in an attempt to sound ferocious. This went on for 15 minutes before she jumped down and proceeded attacking her numerous toys. Very cute, perhaps she was dreaming of her past life of being a lion or tiger and had some unfinished business she wanted to address. Or even better, perhaps she is just being a kitten.

She would just go from one end of the room to the other attacking every thing in sight. It was so funny as the tiny little fur ball would just arch her back to show you how fearsome she was and how you better not get too close or you too would suffer the fate worse than death. Attack by the fluff bucket. > Yes I remember when my female Maine Coon was just 8 or 9 weeks old.

My little Tenzing is hitting that phase. <sigh> kept me up all day yesterday. attacking toes, elbows, any body part not under blanket. She's about 7-8 weeks old I think. I forget when shew as born, She's the last survivor of my Tweeker's first litter. Tweeker died almost a month ago. I had to bottle feed them. Her sister and brother are with mommy now, and Tenzing who was the runt of the litter is only one left and doing just fine. She started doing these cute little kitten things last week or so. I'm so proud of her. She's learning slowly to use litter box. Understands for solid waste, but still pees all over, on tiles, but all over. <sigh> great, she's back to attack kitten on my toes. <sigh> Paula > > Yes I remember when my female Maine Coon was just 8 or 9 weeks old.

Still it sounds like your toes need a good attacking by a fearsome little kitten. Lee Waun wrote in message ... >Yes I remember when my female Maine Coon was just 8 or 9 weeks old.

I read with interest your post about your female Maine Coon. Are Maine Coons the only breed of cat with large (black) eartips? Are there any ways that you can tell if your kittens/cats are Maine Coons?

My female has the beginings of her points but they are just starting. She is only 2 years old so she is still growing. They grow for at 4 years on average. Mine is in a real growth spurt at the moment. Her sister is also pointless however both her brothers have points already and are almost twice the size of her and her sister. Her father is all black and has his points. I also know norwegian forest cat have lynx points as well. not sure of any other cats that have points. Well I know mine is a coon as I know the parents and they have papers but mine does not as she is a rescue as the mother was not allowed to breed but she managed to have a fling with the father that produced the litter mine is from. No cat from that litter can be shown but it doesn't matter she is a wonderful little cat and I just adore her. Don't want a show cat anyway.

Lucy has very prominent fur points at the tips of her ears and they're black, like her gray/black tabby spots and stripes, in contrast to her beige/tan facial fur. Cindy has smaller points. From doing a search on Norwegian forest cats, I'm certain that's not their breed. I did read, however, that the darker tabbies like the blacks, grays, and browns, are forest dwellers and the light cats, the whites and creams, are desert dwellers.

Are there any ways >that you can tell if your kittens/cats are Maine Coons? Plenty of cats both pedigree and non-pedigree have black tufts at the tips of their ears. Since the only cats which are Maine Coons are those with registered pedigree parents, the answer is simple - look at the registrations and pedigrees of the parents. There are plenty around which are MC-type - but without the registry and pedigree they should not be considered to be an MC.

I never really noticed other pedigrees with prominent black points, but most of the tabbies have smaller fur points like Cindy's. >Since the only cats which are Maine Coons are those with registered >pedigree parents, the answer is simple - look at the registrations and [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >-- >Five Cats These cats are the offspring of a stray or feral Mom cat.

So are good old non-pedigrees, even if they look a little like a breed or two... SignatureFive Cats
