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?

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 agree with Sherry. 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.

A moggie is a mixed breed cat.

Brirtish terminology for a mixed breed cat. IOW - not purebred.

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
