P.S. Maine Coons can take up to 4 years to mature Ready for this???

He's probably about 8 months now, and the kitty LadysOtherHuman had when she first started dating Lady's Human, Pippin, was a big ol' likely Maine Coon, so yes, they are prepared. I think Patch is somewhere around 8 months now, as I said, it'll be interesting to see how big he is when he stops growing!

I think he's working on month #9. He may make it all the way. He does get really nudgey some times but for the most part he's a good boy. He was just sitting in one of the windows earlier trying to figure out how to get to the birds outside.

Yup, been there, done that, willing to do it again. My sweet Pippin was a Maine coon and lived to be 15 before we sent him to the RB. Grew to be 20 pounds. He was a big boy. At one time I had Trill, Pippin and Lucas who was the second Cat of the Day when PT started. Those of you who have been with PT since the very beginning may remember him as The Cat Who Stomps. Anyway when I told people I had three cats I would say I have small (Trillian 6-8 lbs.), large (Lucas 15 lbs.) adn OMG! (Pippin 20lbs.). We'll see in a few more months where this big handsome boy ends up.
