Maine Coons

[wayne0214]

Amberlee, considering me with a "new box" in hand,yes, that too! I caught him just as he was getting ready to run from me with the new flashing box! At any rate, he is a very affectionate kitty, and as of late he is sleeping with me nearly every night on the covers.

Wayne,what a beautiful pic of Silver Prince
Looks like a monochrome(like the old ones) picture all brown and white,except for his eyes,what a expressive look!
What's wrong with cougars,aren't they beautiful critters. And the attitude,you can feel that something is about to happen!
Also like the white background,only one thing is important in that picture and is the cat!

We want moooore.....

Koxka, cute kittys!

The only way I can tell if the file is attached, is to re-check the post after the system takes you back. If there is another way to do it, I don't know what it is

[koxka]

Tank you,Yorkter! They are my sweeties,both are so good tempered.

Silver Prince astounds me with his growth. Now he is up to 4 1/2 lbs and is 23" long from nose to tail At this rate, and him being only 10 weeks old, the two lbs a month (as Yorkster jokingly suggested), should not be out of the question


(Prince knows I am talkng of him because just now he came up the ramp and stated to sniff my hands. I just got through eating a stir-fry beef and brocolli.)

Wayne, are you sure Silver Prince is not really a couger??!
I think he is growing even faster than my Wylie did!
It's a good thing he is such a sweet, gentle kitty.

yorkster, I have seen kittens grow, but nothing like Silver Prince! He is almost as large as Fawn- and at about 11 weeks of age. When He plays with the other kittens, Prince look out of place because of his size. He is also developing intelligence faster than the average cat. Prince has the loudest purr. I'm curious as to when he will quit growing, and also, how large can a domestic cat get. (maybe 25 lbs?) You may be correct, in that I read somewhere that cougars do make fine pets, if you train them as kittens. (Imagine, a 250 lb kitty!)

well Wayne, I am not sure when they quit growing, but Wylie did slow down at about 10-12 months. He is still growing a little bit, but not too much. I have heard that MC's will continue to 'fill-out' until about 3 years old.
It seems to me also that (sometimes) the bigger the cat, the more gentle they often are. At least that has been my experience.
I hope you are still taking picks of all your kittys!

Wayne Silver Prince is just beautiful! They grow up to 3 or 4 years old and they will slow down after that. I think it is true the bigger the more gentle. Thats why they are called Gentle Giants. My Shadow didn't grow at first but that was because he was a stray and wasn't properly cared for. When he got some TL C and all the food and water he wanted he started growing and he is still growing and filling out. he is three years old now! I dealy love him! Who ever dumped him on my doorstep, lost out on a very nice kitty. if they didn't think anymore of him than that, They sure didn't deserve him! I'm thankful I found him.

Toastco, the same on Silver Prince. I had him up for adoption, but the people who was interested in him backed out. At the time I did not know he was a Maine Coon. Now I am glad that no one claimed him, because now, I wouldn't part with him, for love nor money. He is such an affectionate kitty. Even his two female litter mates, Tiara and Pepper, are large for their age. I don't know whether to get him neutered or not. Of course, it is a little early to be thinking about that.

We think that our baby Miss Chevious has some Maine Coon in her. She is 10 weeks old and already weighs 4 pounds! She is a very big girl. She has very different eyes,well different from every other grey and white cat I've ever seen. They are blue and a greeny-hazel color. She is so cute!!

Here is Miss Chevious...

[yorkster]

Miss Chevious is a little (big) doll! I like the name too!
She looks like she is going to be big by looking at her paws. We would like to see more pics of both your kitties.

Here are some more pictures of our baby Miss Chevious!





It's hard to believe that Miss Chevious is only 8 weeks old in this picture!
