My New Cat, Maximus.

[LuckyNumber7]

catmandu - I don't think I've ever seen one of those plexi glass things that you're referring to, but I'll definitely look into it, it sounds like it would be helpful. Last night all of a sudden I realized Lucy was nowhere to be seen, so I went looking for here, and there she is next to the litter box playing with a piece of cat poop. She's so classy! We've been feeding the kitten separately from the dogs, and the dogs eat their meals so fast that I don't think the kitten would have a fighting chance to get a piece of their food, even if we didn't separate them lol

Maya & Inka's Mommy - he is a little bit fuzzy like a Maine Coon, but I don't think his hair is *quite* long enough...I guess we'll see when he gets older. Maybe his father was part Maine Coon - I met the mother and she was 1/2 Tiger Cat 1/2 Bengal, with short hair.

Culture Junky - I can't wait for all of those things to happen either! Last night I was petting him on my lap and I saw a teeny flea run across his tail So, off to the pet store I went to get some flea stuff! I hate fleas!

This morning he was all excited when we woke up and was purring and rolling around to get some belly rubs, it was adorable. And right now he's asleep on my lap while I type. I guess I should just admit to myself that he was a present for myself as much as my fiance lol

Here are some great pictures we took of him last night. They all took a nap on the couch together, it was adorable!


















more to follow!....

luckynumber7, these are absolutely SWEET photos of Maximus and his two big sisters. You can change the title of this thread (click on edit)- & put a CUTENESS WARNING cause the last round of photos is definitely very cute! But, oh, how I hope he does not have fleas for the sake of MOlly and Lucy and your home!

I kjnow, I hope he doesn't too, but I think it was definitely one that I saw on him last night. Since then though I've been picking through his fur checking him over like crazy and haven't seen a single other one, so maybe it was an isolated incident. We're treating it though, just to be safe! Both the dogs are on frontline so hopefully they dont get any!

Here are some more pictures of him and his big sisters! I'm going to have to make another thread in Dog General with some funny pictures of Molly from last night that I got of her demonstrating the proper way to eat a rawhide stick while looking as goofy as possible!

Last ones! (for now at least!)

Oh yeah, he rules the house already!

[catmandu]

I cant for the lfe of me remeber what they are called.
Its a large clear bin with a small entrance that the Cat can get in but the Dogs can not.
Maybe someone here will know what I am talking about.
I cant even recall what they are called.

Congrats on your new kitten!!! He sure is adorable and looks like he's fitting right in. The pictures of him with your dogs are just precious.

[JenBKR]

Oh my gosh how ADORABLE! Amazing how they became friends so fast. What a sweet pack you have there

[LuckyNumber7]

catmandu - thanks for describing it to me, I'll check around at some stores and see if I can find something like that. Maximus is using his litter box all the time, he's a well behaved little guy!

krazyaboutkatz, you have a bunch of kitties huh?? They're adorable!!

JenBKR - I like the pictures at the bottom of your posts - too cute! I'm glad my animals are getting along so quickly as well. Now that I think about it though, I don't think my dogs have ever been introduced to another animal and NOT been friendly towards it, they're pretty good about that.

Today we are having a BBQ/birthday party for my fiance, and it shoudl be interesting. Most of my friends have dogs and are bringing them with them, so it should be fun! The kitten will be inside the whole time, and we'll probably just keep him closed off in a separate room so that he doesn't get freaked out at all the noise and people and animals running around. Plus, one of my friends has a little italian greyhound named Simon who happens to be the spawn of satan. This dog has a terrible Napolean complex and tries to beat up all the other dogs around him...so I hate to think how he would react to a cat! Better to keep them apart I think

Edit - This might be a lame question, but what does it mean in people's signatures where it says "I have been defrosted"??

Awww Maximus is absolutely ADORABLE!!! He looks like my Remus butt when he was a kitten (Ive been owned by him for almost three years now)

I love stripey spotted kittes
