I have a 16 week old Maine Coon silver patched female with white that had her first show today. In the first ring, she was an absolute angel. She was front and center in her show cage, nose pressed in curiosity. She was playful, friendly, and had a golden personality. In the second ring, she...
We're planning 1-2 litters a year for her; I'm not sure how many total she will have. My mentors and I will decide that as she ages, but we definitely will not tax her. After she's done, she'll be spayed and retired. Unlike our future cats, she'll stay with us as our pet when she retires instead...
I'll definitely check it out! I've just arrived back to Pittsburgh from Martha's Vineyard, so I'm sorry my response took so long. I have the girl first, but my boy should be born in September if all goes well. Our girl was an unexpected surprise (right time, right place) and for her first few...

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll definitely set aside the special place for them to mate. We'll have only our girl and our boy for the first few years, I imagine. I'll definitely look into those trousers for both sexes then! I definitely cannot have spraying and need to prevent it. I'm also...

I'm a new exhibiting (future breeding) cattery that is getting into the CFA circuit. Right now, I'm raising my foundation Queen and awaiting the birth of my foundation Sire. I do have a mentor, but I'm also collecting suggestions for intact Maine Coon male experiences. My breeder has never had...
