So a little more than a year ago we got a 3.5 month old Maine Coon from a breeder. The breeder is reputable and the cat was very kind in it's first two months or so when he was very small. Then his behavior began to turn sour. He did not want to be held ever, would not sit with us, run away...

I realize that cats and dogs have very obvious differences. Unlike a dog cats will not look to you as their lord and master, and so on. I also know that cats aren't pack creatures, so I realize the dominance thing may not be as applicable. However, I feel like our cat doesn't view us at all...

My Maine Coon is seven months old and 90% of the time he's psycho. Sometimes when he just wakes up he's lovey and will let you hold/pet him and will rub up against you. Other than that he runs around like a madman sprinting around the house, runs up to people's (socked) feet and just bites and...

Does anyone have advice for leash training their cat? We got Cornelius used to wearing his collar but when the leash was attached he freaked out. Advice?

Two questions for all of you wiser and experience cat people: 1) My cat is an indoor cat, save for going to the vet he never goes outside, does he really need an anti flea/tick/whatever med? - We do live in an area with some strays outside, though we don't normally interact with them - We live...

So my kitten is a healthy 5.5 month old Maine Coon boy. We got him when he was a little more than 13 weeks old from a reputable breeder. Nothing but love and happiness. He is always crazy! He sprints from one room into the other, attacking anything that moves, or doesn't move, so attacking...

So my little boy apparentally likes to drink from the toilet. My roomate mentioned it to me once but I've never really seen it myself, then last night I saw it myself. And not only did he go for the toilet once, but twice! I make sure his water bowl is clean and fresh with water daily. He...

So I'm sure the vet will go over everything with me after, but nothing like experience from others! My little boy is being neutered tommrrow, what can I do to make him more comftorable? Should I get anything for him? Should I keep an eye out for any behaviors? Is there anything I should...

I saw this in my musings through the web: http://www.citikitty.com/index.htm Preaching that you can teach cats to use the toilet and completely remove the litterbox. I'm really sceptical about this concept, so I was wondering if anyone else has had any experiences or heard anything. Does it...

What is the best kind of self cleaning litter box to get for the value? And do they really work? I only have one cat using the litterbox so everyone knows. I've found things like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/*NEW*-SELF-CLEAN...QQcmdZViewItem do they work? What should I be looking for?

My kitten is a five month old maine coon, so he has a lot of growing to do! I have a feeder out for him with dry food, Royal Cannin kitten formula. He just kind of nibbles on it throughout the day, never sits and just chomps down. Then once a day I give him 1/3rd of a can of Wellness kitten...

So I just got back from the vet (because his eye was "goopey" just a small bacterial infection there) but she noticed ringworm on his ears and forehead. My only question firstly is I'd taken him to one vet before this and they didn't catch the ringworm, I pointed out the funky coloring on his...

More kitten questions! I have two scratchers for my kitten, one is mounted on the corner of the wall so it's an upright, and one of those floor circle scratchers. So I have both an upright one and one on the floor. How do I promote him to scratch the scratchers and not the floor or...

Alright, much debate has occured about this amoung my family, and we all really want to do what's best. We have a 13 week-old, maine coon kitten. He's recently come home to us and is very sweet and loving. Now, there are some places I don't want him to go, and some things I don't want him to...

I posted a thread about this cat awhile ago under "is it abuse?" for those of you who didn't catch it here's the summary: Our neighbors have a cat, her name is Mocha. She's probably about 4, she's never had a flea or tick, so I assume she's given frontline or some other anti-tick medicine. We...

Hello everyone! Thank you all for bearing with my variety of questions across these forums. I know I may seem dumb, but I know nothing about kittens so Iâ€8482m here to get advice from all of you wise, kind, people! Our kitten will be coming home in a few weeks, so I have time to get things...

Does it really work without any problems? Does anyone have any litter they'd recommend? For the prevention of clogging the toilet/pipes and oder control?

A question for anyone who knows! I was wondering what the average sizes are for a Maine Coon Kitten. We're looking at a kitten who's about 9 weeks old and he's around 13-14 inches from nose to tail. I didn't pick him up, so I don't know how much he weighed, if I had to guess I'd say around...

I'm trying to decide between two breeders right now for a Maine Coon kitten. And I have some small concerns for both, so I wanted a second opinion from people who were more cat savy than myself. Breeder 1: Breeder 1 is very nice and warm, she let us come visit her house and her cats. She...

I live in an apartment complex. There's like six buildings lined up in a row with parking lots between them. Needless to say we're in an Urban area, our complex allows pets, but it doesn't allow pets to be outside without being on a leash, cats or dogs. One of our downstairs neighbors has...
