Mnay thanks to all the responses ~
yep I'm happy for him to be more of an indoor Puss, the environment we're in is semi-rural, in so far as at the back of the section it's open land ~ lot's of long grass, with a scattering of trees - definitely the place for hunting!! I'v never spottet him go anywhere toward the street side - only once was he in the front garden half way toward it, and I was quick to call him over and take him elsewhere, and give him a talk about where to be and where not to be -I doubt he understood ~ but ya never know When he comes home he get's a warm welcome ~ and also gives it in response ~ he's more settled with our other two 5 year old cats, actually correction there, I should say THEIR becoming more used to him! never had a fight - just the occasional "getting too close" and get's a hisSs, but he comes in and settles down to a feed, smooches up, makes himself comfortable ~ amazing to see him sleep and stretching out to his full length ~ often on his back, enjoys a good petting - not the kind of cat you can pat once in passing and walk away - he wants plenty! and playful ~ I suspect he's nearer the one year old than 2. and 9 lbs (just short of 5 kilo's) "might" be about right for a "Coon" but yeah.. maybe only 'part' perhaps - his tail - as bushy as it is is not quite the same length as his body. But if he IS ~ I'm looking forward to taking him for a walk one day ~ ha~ it'll be a sight to see! I'm amazed at his fur - so amazingly soft! the loose stuff doesnt just rub off and fall tothe floor like the other two.. this floats off into the air! and yep - I'm very pleased he chose our house to move into. and as much as I know what it'd be like for someone to lose such a Puss as this - and could be missing him - it's equaly as surprising that no-one has come forward - specially since we informed all the local and wider are vets. but - these things happen I guess. Coon or not ~ he's an amazing wonderful affectionate - likes climbing the trees in the back yard! and does so as easy as a possum or Squirrell!! incidentally - to clear up the old email address that seems to point to U.K. ~ we're actually in NZ. finally - I may try the "keep in in all day for a period of time" and see if it curtails his wanderings - plus with no owners showing up now - we're taking him down to the vet for a checkover next week - then we'll find out perhaps more accurately his age, and also find out if he needs umm... neutering! and also perhaps a more definitive see if he is a M'Coon or not. thanks again for all the responses.... |

He sounds like a wonderful boy, and very lucky to have chosen you, too. Breed doesn't matter--if by Maine Coon you only meant that he is big and striped and fluffy with a fat tail and tones of gray, brown, and cream or white, that works for me. I rather wish there were no breeders, anyway. Not so that the breeds would go away, but so that people would stop paying $400 for a cat when there are so many great ones they could have for the price of spaying and vetting. |
