Cats and breeding-Maine Coon
 
Anybody know who has a male that we can breed with an un documented female? They are a big cat. It takes up the couch.

My sister has a un-papered female but has a full blood line. She got it cheap because there are no papers...thus not breedable for selling issues.

This is not for money making "pure bred" cats for sale issue. She would like to have some kittens and I would like to have one as well.

I like big dogs, and like big cats as well. The bigger the better, both cats and dogs. I have 10 acres and have had Great Danes, Huskies, Retrievers, Lab mixes etc.

The kittens would not go for sale but for households that want a BIG cat.

BTW, all my dogs and cats are rescue or adopted. Why pay money for a needed animal, for them and me.

Thoughts?

He isnt fit for breeding anymore since he is about 15-16 years old, but my ma has a big ol Maine Coon

Great cat, by far the most talkative cat I've ever seen... he has a huge 'vocabulary' of different inflections, he really seems to try and mimic people

Mind if I post this here?:D



HELP WANTED. For a friend
Who goes by the code name of Dodger.
Mans best friend for life, a virgin in strife
I'd like to find him some bitches to Rodger.

A boarder collie he might be of mix
no papers to certify his breed
but a playdate with your she-dog
will take care of his needs.

Dodger won't care if she's short, fat or bald
or if her pedigree is top billing
as long as her tail is up
and her back side he's drilling.

You like big cats and you cannot lie

Put a fresh battery in the decoder ring when I saw the thread title.

Nope, don't know anyone with one of them. Are they similar to dogs, in that big cats have big poop?

Love big dogs, used to have them, but prefer little poop.

Pure bred MCs can get quite large.

I had a cat I believe was part MC, but she was pretty small. Had the mane and coloring, very vocal. Mean as hell to anyone not me or my wife or the other animals. I used to joke she was part Maine coon, part chainsaw.

JakeF 04-16-2018 09:41 AM

I would like to have a huge maine coon myself. I don't want to buy one and all the cats at the shelters are "mutts" who aren't much bigger than other cats. If you get a bunch of pure-ish kittens and have one leftover, i'm interested.

Noted.

My sister has looked around the web with no luck. Once the people hear "not registered", show no interest.

I hope they don't tell their male cats that there is free pussy and their master declines.

Mainecoons are the best. I would work on rigs and marty my cat would watch me he had paws as big as a dog. He would get pissed off if I didn't pay attention to him and pick up my screw driver with both paws and wing it on the floor and stare back at me like a bad ass.

Ours liked to knock stuff over onto the floor, more than any other cat I've seen.

One time, she went to knock over my drink when I was away from it, but I saw her and yelled, "Don't do it!" in a scolding tone. She looked right at me, and slowly pushed it to the floor. Never broke eye contact.

I absolutely like cats more than dogs. I don't dislike dogs, but cats are way better. I have both, FTR.

What I dislike about dogs is what I like about cats.

Cats have moods; I have moods, so I like that. Dogs are always happy. Pet a dog, love on it, talk happy, play, kick... a dog is always happy. You have to earn a cat's love; I like that. I like that when my cat comes up and nuzzles me or works his paws on my leg that I've earned his trust.

Dogs are needy. They need attention, walks, let outside, fed on a schedule. If you leave, you have to take them with your or get them boarded. Cats, leave food and water out, a clean litter box, and they're good for a week.

My dog has all kinds of different moods and he's a hell of a lot smarter than any dumb ole cat. He may be more the exception though. He's the most communicative animal I've ever had or been around.

I meant to delete that after better thought and forgot. My point was simply that short of sustained abuse, you can do anything to a dog and it'll love you.

I do not kick dogs.

Short aside: My hometown high school's mascot is the Houn Dawg, and our motto was "Don't kick our dog."

Not at all. I've got NOTHING against dogs, nor their owners. Have owned a few. I just prefer a cat these days. Low maintenance.

And I'll be the first to tell you I'm an odd duck at times.

Dog is MAN's best friend for a reason.

Men who prefer cats also love to blog on their Macs at Starbucks, love to tell people how they hate red meat, get confused on what bathroom to use, and voted for Hillary. I usually avoid these people. A man that trusts a cat over a dog can not be trusted.

That is just ingrained in rural America's thinking, due to dogs being good for hunters, they are thought of as "manly".

I don't have anything against dogs, they are just a pain in the ass to own. If you think about it, a cat is no less manly than a dog. A cat is independent, a dangerous carnivore coming from the lineage of Lions & Tigers. A cat you have to earn it's respect usually and doesn't follow you around all the time like a little kid. If anything, a dog is more like a little child and therefore a maternal instinct would yearn for that pet over a cat

KCUnited 04-16-2018 04:27 PM

Its a ruff thing to hear, but you wrong a cat once, you're sworn enemies. A dog you can beat on all day errday. One is admirable, one is respectable.

Ask any midwesterner who has outbuildings if they like their outdoor cats. You'll get a great big yes.

Ask any sane person if they want a box of animal shit in their home and they'll tell you no.

Is that actually a factor in people's decisions? I'd think that a main part of owning a pet and loving it is going out of your way not to physically abuse it, but that's just me. I'm an equal opportunity animal lover, but I've had fantastic luck with my cats so far.

IDK, I thought we were flexing manly animal opinions in here.

J/K, I love them both and like anything its dependent on the owner. If you're a real cool MF, dogs and cats will love you the same. I'd gladly hurt an owner, or otherwise shit human, over an animal any day...and it's a cat that taught me to be that way.

Agree to disagree ROFL

I don't mind the box of animal shit in my house. Just put it in a closet or the basement. They have good litter and odor repellent these days. I can usually tell when I go into someone's house if they have a dog, versus a cat. I can smell dogs easily. Unless they are groomed super often, they just have a stench to them, we all know the wet dog stench. My cat can sleep right by my face and I can't even smell that it is there.

It is my sisters' cat. I don't have pictures. Big ass female pussy though. It jumps on top of bath room doors and sits there, watching while you shower.

Beautiful cat. Gray long hair and vocal. Nose to ass is about 3 feet, not including the tail. We have 4 cats. One inside, the rest outside (barn). All are Brindle with one black cat with green eyes.

Cats are crazy. Paula is the old inside cat (15 yrs) still steals my son's socks of the shelf in his closet, then yowls at them. Runs up and down the stairs and rumples the rugs as she tears out. Of course, when we first got her...that cat is on drugs. Thus her nickname is Drugs (she answers to it)

Next cat named Lisa is on drugs as well. Can't have 2 cats named the same, thus is Crack. The next cat is Simon, not. She nicknamed Spaz. Then the black cat is Cinder, not. Named Verruckt, crazy in German. All the cats answer to their nicknames, as much as a cat will answer to anything.

Dogs are just Bonnie and Clyde. Twin Shepard Husky mixes.

The cats and dogs cuddle together. Go figure.

Holladay 04-16-2018 05:37 PM

I don't really understand how someone can sleep with a shedding animal. I love my dogs and cats, don't want their hair in my bed.

I slept at a friends house and their Boxer slept with me and kept pushing me off the bed. That didn't last long.

I guess it is what you are use to.

We have never given our animals a bath. Deutsch (big blond female retriever/lab)and Mr Frodo (male black pit/lab) went to the creek. They came back black with mud. Deutsch looked like a coon. The only blonde was around her eyes. The next day she and Mr Frodo were clean as a whistle. Thinking they groomed each other. Skunks, dead vermin, wet dog smell etc, next day are fine. Keep in mind they are primarily outside dogs (10 acres) so we don't have to endure the smell inside...just kick 'em out to go roam.

Holladay 04-16-2018 05:39 PM

I didn't know this:

Quote:

Maine Coon. The official state cat of Maine is -- you guessed it -- the Maine Coon. This plus-size cat, adorned with a beautiful neck ruff, dainty britches, tufted feet that resemble snowshoes and a big, bushy tail that he can wrap around himself when he naps is likely the oldest cat breed native to America.
Nor this:

Quote:

If you want a cat the size and temperament of a small dog -- one that even wags its tail with excitement every time you get home -- consider a Maine Coon. It's "the gentle giant of domestic cats," says Hutcherson.

Maine Coons can grow to up to 25 pounds. The breed was developed from longhair tabby barn cats in the state of Maine, Hutcherson says. The longest cat in the world is a Maine Coon.

Expect to pay between $1,500 and $4,000 for a kitten. Since cats are double the size of the average domestic cat, expect to pay a minimum of $200 annually to feed them -- but it can be twice that or more for higher-end food.

If you don't want to do your own grooming, expect to pay around $320 for quarterly bathing, brushing and nail clipping. Total yearly maintenance, including food and a few toys and excluding grooming servives: $980.
I thought the Tiger was?
