My one year old Maine Coon kitten, Lucy has started a very unusual eating habit.  It is a well known fact that Maine Coons like water.  About 6 months ago I had to get her a water bowl/food bowl attached eating tray so that she would stop playing with her water and splashing it all over the...

Starting last week my 11 month old Maine Coon kitty, Lucy started doing something strange.  She spends part of the night with me, which is not unusual. She will walk over me and make herself comfortable and has been spending more time there since the apartment has been getting cooler in the...

I really need to clip my Sparky's nails.  He goes after my younger 11 month old Lucy.  He has yet to hurt her as far as I can see, but his nails are really long and sharp. He doesn't like me to clip them!!! In the past I have used a Cat Grooming Bag.  Top zipper and velcro  - zippers for each...

My Maine Coon kitty, Lucy is 10 1/2 months.  She is pretty active and runs around from and after my 9 year old mixed breed, Sparky.  Occassionally I play with a couple of toys at the end of sticks.  She is very acrobatic and jumps and leaps after them.  She also chase and swats balls and other...

I'm trying to find a good all-stages wet food which both my 8 month old Maine Coon Lucy and 8 year old Sparky will eat.  It seems that no matter what I try, from expensive to inexpensive, they refuse to eat anything which is in a pate form.  Some of the brands do not say on the can, so I am...

My Lucy is a 7 months old, recently spayed Maine Coon cat.  She is beautiful and healthy and growing fast.  I feed her Merrick all life stages wet food (various flavors, but no pate's) and Friskies canned food various flavors.  I also feed her Wellness kitten dry food mixed in.  One of the...

I found Sparky sleeping on the top perch of the cat tree.  He woke up when I approached to take these photos.  He didn't move a muscle. Just imagine him with his eyes closed.  Not the first time I've ever seen him or Lucy sleeping in weird positions.  Thought you might like this.

I've written before about my 8 yr old mixed breed spayed male - Sparky , and my 7 month old Maine Coon recently spayed female Lucy.  Sparky is whiney and unpredictable and an ornery guy.  He goes from complete indifference to Lucy to rough playing with some wrestling and neck biting, to...

Lucy, my 7 month old Maine Coon got spayed yesterday.  She is currently at the vets recuperating.  I need some advice on how to best reintroduce her to my 8 year old Sparky.  They both live with me in a small studio apartment.  The only room I can put one into, to separate them, is a small...

Before I got my Maine Coon kitty - Lucy - I read a lot about the breed.  It seems they are very comfortable with water and like it.  So, Lucy being a perfect representation of her breed has been playing with her water bowl/water and then walking all over everything while fairly wet.  Today I...

It seems my 5 month old Lucy likes to watch TV.  She is particularly interested in golf.  She sees the little ball rolling around, and its almost like a laser pointer effect. I haven't figured out what else she likes.  The TV is on much of the day, and she usually ignores it. Every now and then...

I'm thinking of using Feliway to calm my 7 yr old Sparky, who is stressed out over newcomer kitten Lucy. I've used the spray before. Is the plugin better? I live in a small studio, so I do not need more than one. How effective is it overall. Does it lose its effectiveness?

I've written before concerning the trials and tribulations of introducing my female Maine Coon kitten (born 12/1/15) Lucy to my 7 year old spayed male mixed breed Sparky.  It has been an ordeal to say the least.  It is at a point now where I cannot see a a peaceful resolution.  I live in a...

My 7 year old mixed breed, Sparky, is a wonderful warm fun cat - but can be quite ornery.  He can be loving one moment and get annoyed and turns on a dime.  I've come to understand his quirks and let him take the lead. Five weeks ago I introduced Lucy, a Maine Coon kitten who is now 4 months...

I recently started a thread about introducing my new 12 week old female kitten - Lucy, to my 7 year old fixed male - Sparky.  I was worried about Sparky's past aggression with his mate Mickey a year or so ago. After co-existing fairly well for most of their lives together he started to follow...

I just got a 12 week old female Maine Coon - Lucy.  A real beauty and perfectly healthy. I have a 7 year old mixed breed - Sparky.  He is also quite healthy and weighs around 10 1/2 lbs.  He looks heavier because of thick coat. Before Lucy came I was feeding Sparky a half can of Friskies wet...

I have a 6 1/2 year old mixed breed - Sparky.  Around 5 months ago his older step-brother, Mickey, who was 12 1/2 died suddenly from heart disease, a week after extensive dental surgery.  Sparky is very outgoing and greets new people coming to my apartment.  He is friendly and at times a bit...
