Cat posts can have tri content. For one, I’d like for someone to explain to me why I’ve had more than one cat that likes to chew on my hair after I come home from swim practice. Is chlorine like catnip?
No kidding. Ours practically runs up my leg to get at my hair when I get home from the pool. If I’m not wearing shoes, she’ll bite my feet then roll all over them. She also meets my wife when she gets out of the shower each morning after shampooing her hair. She jumps from the counter onto her shoulder and “washes her face” on my wife’s freshly shampood hair. Every day.
That’s so awesome! I think, and my vet agrees, that one of my cats is part Maine Coon. He’s awesome and I love the big, dumb, goof balls. I can’t wait to get one, but I have 3 cats already so no new cats are in my future.
I don’t know if you know about Maine Coon Cats but they are definitely the clydesdales of the cat world. Males are about the same weight as a pit bull terrier. They average 18 lbs and can go to about 23.
You are looking at a minimum of double that weight for a Pit Bull.

The Bull Terrier’s most distinctive feature is its head, described as ‘egg shaped’ when viewed from the front, almost flat at the top, with a Roman muzzle sloping evenly down to the end of the nose with no stop. The unique triangular eyes are small, dark, and closely set. The body is full and round, while the shoulders are robust and muscular and the tail is carried horizontally. It walks with a jaunty gait, and is popularly known as the ‘gladiator of the canine race’. There is no set height or weight of the breed but the average is, Height: 16-22 inches (40-56 cm.), Weight: 35-80 pounds (15-36 kg.)
Tabby is just a color pattern, not a breed. There are two types of patterns of tabby, standard and mackeral. There are also some recent mutations that are being bred today.
There really are no “mutts” in the cat world. There are a few purebreds, but they make up a very small minority of the overall cat population. Unlike dogs, cats are not “mixes” but are either domestic shorthairs or domestic longhairs. Domestic cats are quite similar around the world. When people refer to general description names like “Maine Coon”, “Tuxedo”, “Angora”, “Rag Doll”,“Manx”, etc. Usually they are just describing a genetic trait or body type, and are not an actual “purebred”.
oh, and* all kitties* are nice. You can find any almost any type of cat you are looking for at a shelter. Just my feelings from working at animal shelters and watching healthy innocent kittens be killed because there aren’t enough homes for them.
Oh, let’s not talk about kittens being killed! I get choked up just thinking about hurting animals, especially cats!
Have y’all seen that ASPCA commercial that says something like, “Every year the ASPCA rescues thousands of cats and dogs … and every year thousands more aren’t so lucky.”? That sad angel Sarah McLaughlin song is playing in the background. I bawled the first time I saw it and was determined to rescue another cat until my Lion nixed that idea – she likes being an only cat!
Or you could call him “plain” or “peanut” (or both alternating with odd/even days of the week…F#$k with his head!), cuz there is some popular candy that melts in your mouth, not in your hands, and they got an M on 'em.
I think I bought a Windsor track bike from you last year. I’ve been riding it to work several times a week. I’m enjoying it a lot and consider it money well spent. You can chalk me up as a satisfied customer.
We have a beautiful 15 year old, Charlie Brown, Maine Coon(who has siblings named Lucy and Linus). He is so much like a dog, asking to be picked up and has so much attitude it's laughable.Enjoy that little guy!
We have a 12 year old coon, 1 of the 4 cats. He is the leader of the pack. If you want to look at a good second cat, look at the Norwegian Forest Cat, similar to the Maine Coon, can even be bigger. My parents have a retired champion, quite a looker…
