But I digress. My real fear here now is, what is wrong with the Maine
Coon breed? I don't think I can bear to lose him. What can I DO!? Hailey, don't worry too much about your guy. He likely has enough good old "moggie genes" to offset any potential genetic problems. Lots of shelter cats look like Maine Coons. Sherry Thank you very much I don't see my other post, but I called our vet too. She is going to give him a good once over. He's not due yet, but it will make me feel better. What is a moggie? Hailey |

Some lines of Maine Coons have problems with stomatitis, so keep an eye on your cat's mouth and teeth and if he develops bad breath (okay, worse than normal kitty breath) or excessive drooling have a vet check out his mouth. I think this is what my friend's cat has. She has to get his teeth cleaned a couple of times a year and they also do something to his gums. But now she is very diligent in brushing his teeth and he's been doing very well. He's about 3 years old now.

I'm sure your boy is just fine. But it doesn't hurt anyway to have a health check up, especially if it puts your mind at ease. What is a moggie? A moggie is a mixed breed cat.

If you want to avoid getting your heart broken by the early death of your cat, why not forget about "pure bred" cats and adopt one of the lovely long-haired (etc.) cats currently in your local no-kill shelters or on death row at your local SPCA? Get a young adult that has been in a no-kill shelter for several months and you have a cat that is guaranteed to have good bathroom habits and to be wonderfully socialized by the volunteers who love them up every day. Heartbreak is watching these cats die every day while people PAY for in-bred cats that die young. He was our first pedigree cat we had a ginger tom who we got as an abandoned kitten he died 5 years ago at the age of 13 we still have a female tabby whos is 18 but sadly she has cancer of the colon and the time is getting close to saying goodby |
