Cat Tales -Post yours
 

Problem:

Two cats. The 9 year old male nibbles a little amount all day long. The other female cat is about 4 years old. She eats like a horse. She will eat until there is nothing left. She eats three times what he does. I try rationing. I tried separating them. She just keeps getting fatter.

skysidhe - I have no advice for you.

This is our cat Tony

I think he must be related to ours (picture's off a phone so quality not so good...):

we call the other one 'hoover'.....

It's ok seakdivers. I was really just creating diversions more than anything. :)

JayMcGee, I think I'll call her 'little hoover' haha

These are pictures of the big male. Maincoon. The first picture is an artistic rendering.

Posting about our cats.

OOooooh god nooooo!!! I've become my worst nightmare!!

* chuckling*

hehehehe, we can talk about cooking or gardening too. I've already made peace with those kind of things. :P


@ Jay, I wish I was unlucky then :)

You guys are sure good for a chuckle :)


I'm saving my hollering when I start saving empty margarine containers or started wearing one of those rain bonnets that look like plastic vegtable bags.;)

It must be in the genetic makeup of Maine Coon males to turn into hoovers if you keep them indoors. Here's a recent one of our Coons, Rocky Raccoon (a.k.a. The Rock) has been gaining a pound about every 6 months.

beautiful cats

I've always been interested in Maine Coons. Do either of yours swim?

I was never a cat person until my roommate moved in with her cat, Kitty. That cat literally makes me laugh EVERYDAY. Now when my roommate and I separate, I will probably have to get my own cat. Better be as funny as Kitty!

I havn't had to test whether they swim? I am assumming it is something they can genitically do if needed? * shrug *

Just one is a main coon. He has an interesting story. He came to us as a feral kitten. He and his siblings were captured but the mom got away. The lady brought a bunch of these kittens to the vet and plunked down some money. She told the vet to distroy them! and walked away. Of couse he didn't and we got a very beautiful guy. :)


Maybe a google search can tell you more about maincoons? I don't know really, just that they are wonderful and beautiful.
