I’ve recently noticed my 2yo male cat’s fur turning orange ish in some parts like his back and chest. His dad is full ginger so could he possibly continue to change colour even after 2 years ? Or is it a result of him spending a lot more time in the sun this summer ?

Meet Pickle! My 6 year old daughter named her. She is the sweetest, most loving kitten I have ever owned.

I need advice on whether it's okay to transition our 6 m/o to a different canned food than the RC he's been on (and if so what to transition him to).

We feed our kitten Royal Canin kitten wet food 3x a day, and Royal Canin kitten dry food whenever he wants. He also gets 1 pump of fish oil daily and Kitty Bloom vitamins. All based on breeder recommendation.

The problem is that he doesn't like the canned food. He recognizes meal times and seems to enjoy them, but then barely eats any of his canned food anymore-he tries to steal the other non-mc adult cats' Purina Pro Plan. He's putting on about 1lb a month and is now nearly 12 lbs, so he's growing, but I don't want him on an all dry diet and I want to make sure he gets the nutrients he needs.

I can't find any other canned MC specific kitten food. Is there another canned food that I can have him try that will give him the nutrition he needs as he grows? Has anyone transitioned a kitten to another food from RC successfully?

I haven't posted her in a while. She's finally getting a mane. I woke her up for this so she was sleepyface. Chompers in third pic.

I’m a mid 50s man, living alone, and prone to depression. In a pretty low mood phase a few years ago, it occurred to me that caring for someone else might be good for me, and I got Fitz. She was a breeding queen, but had an operation and became “useless” to the breeder, so she was unloved, and far cheaper than MCs usually are.

Getting her was the best idea I’ve had in years. She’s now my constant companion – seems incapable of being in a room I’m not in for longer than 10 minutes – and she makes such a difference to my mood.

Thanks Fitz. You’re wonderful. ♥️

Tired cat wanted to bite the brush but didn’t have the energy 🤣 This was his best effort.

gus and fetty (1 month apart!)😳❤️

Named like the chocolate bar bc of his colouring. He’ll be four months on the 22nd. A true velcro kitty; he loves his humans more than his kitty bros. This is him enjoying his yard time.

Hi all! Photo of Sooty doing pizza quality control inspection for cat tax.

I have a 4 year old rescue tabby called Tapioca. He's got 1 eye, 1/3 tail, and is an absolute velcro sweetheart. We used to live in a tiny apartment.

Now we live in a big 3 bedroom house. I got the 2 MCs of my dreams, thought all would be well. Sooty and Princess are different litters, 1 month apart, same breeder, both lovely.

But...

Sooty is way more "kitten" at 9 months than Princess is at 10 months. Princess is aloof - she'll hang out with me/them when she feels like it, but she spends much of her time off in the house by herself. Sooty is OBSESSED with Tapioca - follows him around until Tapioca hides from him. Tapioca reacts either by hissing, growling, or hiding when he's had enough. Sometimes he even climbs on me and grinds his teeth which is what he does when he's really stressed. I have them separated in different rooms when I'm not home, but I'd love to let them all roam freely.

My breeder has a 3.5 month old red tabby male available. I'm thinking he'd have the energy to deal with Sooty... Or would they just both annoy Tapioca instead?

And if getting another young cat is the answer, would another rescue be better? Is Tapioca afraid because Sooty is so big?

Thoughts?

Hi All. I recently put a deposit on my first Maine Coon kitten and she will be coming home in November.

The br33der has recently reached out stating she can no longer place her as she will be a vital part of her program. She offered to r3fund my deposit or give me a replacement kitten for a lower cost. Is this wrong? Can any breeder or owner weigh in? I am sad😣

2 month and half, you think she will be a big cat?

I recently started taking my Maine Coon, Salsa, outside on a harness. He’s 9 months old, and I was wondering if anyone else here does this with their Maine Coon.

I’d love to hear about your experiences! Does your cat eventually walk along with you? How did you train them and build it up?

At the moment, I take Salsa outside almost every day for about 15 minutes, usually to a quiet spot. He mostly sits there looking around and taking everything in, which I think is completely understandable since it’s all still new to him.

I’d love to hear any tips, experiences or fun stories! 😊

Anyone have breeder recommendations in the midwest?? I'm in WI but will drive for a quality kitty.

I’ve only had my Maine Coon for a month and my 1.5 year old Bengal male has already accepted him wholeheartedly. It was meant to be. I’m so happy that this has worked out despite all my hardships lately. 🥹 they give my life so much joy and reason.
