Hi everyone, I am the owner (or the human) of a 15 pound gray-silver Maine Coon girl: Ch= elle. If she was in a cat show circuit, she would be in the Blue Smoke colo= r class. But she=E2=80=99s not, so just plain silver she is. I remember the= first time I saw a Maine Coon. It was on the evening new, and the anchors = were talking about a cat show going on in the city. They introduced a cat as Knight, a 20-something pound male orange tabby Mai= ne Coon, who could be seen at the show this weekend. I was smitten, went to= that cat show, and a number of months later, I was the owner of 3 month ol= d Maine Coon kitten. It was pretty quick! You guys should check out=20 https://winstolkittenshelter.org https://winstolkittenshelter.org/product-category/maine-coon-kittens/ You coul be cat owner soon. Here are a couple of things I=E2=80=99ve learned from my experience jumping= head-on into Maine Coon ownership as a beginner. Try not to judge me too h= ard, I am a first time pedigreed cat owner just trying my best. Finding a Kitten For Sale As a millennial, I make huge purchasing decisions (houses, cars, insurance)= and restaurant plans through the same process: online reviews, Youtube, Fa= cebook, and Google. It is no different for pets. I followed Knight on Faceb= ook, then watched all the videos I could. I read owner blogs and breed guid= es. Then I contacted all the catteries here locally and learned they all had wa= iting lists on future litters. I followed suit. I then did an interview. Af= ter 4-6 months, I got a call that it was my turn. I was emailed some pictur= es of the kittens, picked one, and signed the sales contract.=20 Mainecoon kittens for sale Mainecoon kittens for adoption I did not expect to have to be vetted by the breeder and I did not expect t= o wait so long. I know now both of things are standard for quality catterie= s. Don=E2=80=99t expect to call a place up and say =E2=80=9Cone Maine Coon = kitten, please!=E2=80=9D And if any operations promise that, it=E2=80=99s l= ikely a scam or mill. That is why https://winstolkittenshelter.org/ is the number place you shoul= d think of if you want to get a pet. I got my lovely baby from them and i h= elped a couples of friends to get their own pets.=20 A week later I went to the airport to pick up my new kitten who arrived fro= m a neighboring island. I was lucky because Chelle is a social, goofy, and = decent-sized Maine Coon. Breeders in Hawaii are a tight group and there wer= e only a few reputable operations. They also referred interested parties to= each other. Your location may not be so simple. In your rush to have a new kitten, don= =E2=80=99t forget to do due diligence. The best thing is to visit the catte= ry in-person and make a decision there. There you can gauge the cleanliness= , meet the kittens and their parents, inspect the grounds, ask health relat= ed questions, and so much more. Mainecoon kittens Intelligence Maine Coons are among the smartest cat breeds. You can train yours to walk = on a leash outside, play fetch, and even do simple tricks. I thought it wou= ld be cool to try. Of course in reality, my cat is too good and lazy for th= at. No doubt she is intelligent. But what it really means in daily life is = that I need to keep an eye on faucets, toilets, and bathtubs. Why? Because she=E2=80=99s figured out how to work the tap in the kitchen a= nd bathroom sinks to access flowing water! Another Maine Coon trait is an i= nfatuation with water. This breed loves hypnotic moving water =E2=80=93 the= y stare at it and bat it with their paw. My Chelle does not go swimming or = try to join me in the shower like other Maine Coons, but she proves the wat= er generalization to be true. So in my house=E2=80=A6 we leave the toilet s= eat down, and try to make the bathtub off limits! Lots of sources said Maine Coons are an exceptional cat breed because of th= eir unique personality. Instead of hiding in novel situations and with new = people, Maine Coons are confident in charging forward and making a new frie= nd. =E2=80=9CDog-like=E2=80=9D was the term people used to describe Maine C= oons. This is true. In practical terms, it means every time I open the front door, my cat slips= out the door. What=E2=80=99s she doing? Oh, just trying to find a neighbor= =E2=80=99s door and go into their home like it ain=E2=80=99t no thing. She= =E2=80=99s so trusting. Another one of her favorite things is to go outside= and sit in the hallway and =E2=80=9Cgreet=E2=80=9D our neighbors as they c= ome home. It=E2=80=99s endearing and I can=E2=80=99t even feign annoyance. In Closing These were some embarrassing, enlightening, and wonderful moments from life= with my Maine Coon. I hope they were entertaining.
