One big happy family... AWWWWWW it is worth a picture

ive never had this many cats. does the mother protect her kids still later in life? like when they are 6 months old? Our own cat likes the kittens but she and the mama cat hiss at each other. Im kinda worried they wont get along

John you will now need a new signature to add the 3 additions

alright its been almost a year since they were born...its time for some updated pics

If you havent read the story please do

here is the one who was sliced up. Her name is "Stitches" she likes to hang out on the toliet seat while we take showers. she also is very smart (takes after mom) She is small like her mom...maybe 7.5 lbs



Here is her brother "Achllies". Little did we know how much he was going to change...he fits his name well. Stong,nobel young boy..he likes to put his paws in the water...tends to tip the bowl over....huge feet. Likes to sit on your lap but doesnt like to be held. He is about 11 lbs



Stitches giving her brother a bath which turned into a play fight...Stitches is a boxer and Achilles is a pouncer.



Their mom "Keke" Shes an indoor/outdoor cat...but soon to be indoor exclusive when we move into our house. She is around 8lbs and is almost 2 years old.



This is our first baby...she is the queen..nuff said. Shes 17lbs and is 5 years old



im almost allergic free to these cats now

WOW mom looks different then her kits but the kits look like twins

yeah they look like the tom cat that got their mom. the other 2 brother and sister duo were kept together and given to a friend of ours...they were more like their mom. notice the large poofy tail of the male? we think he is part maine coon.

Yep I have one also. I was told both my kittens had main in them I just not familiar with the breed. Runtz tail is like a bush LOL Taffy tummy is the softest I have ever felt but they have spots it is cool to see.

that was taken yesterday...almost one year old!

OMGosh she is just like Runtz .....



I will try to find a better pic

This is here a few months ago... See she is so fluffy and there is spots but not alot that puzzles me.

hold old is she? and she is actually a he...Achilles is his name. some of the characteristics of achilles are:

>doesnt like to be held
>loves to sit on your lap
>puts his front paws in the water
>likes to tip the water bowl over
>acts kinda goofy sometimes
>very affectionate
>when he play fights he pounces instead of jabbing
>when he bathes his mane,he tends to bite some of it off
>follows me around where ever i go
>he howls if in in the room and he cant get in
>he knows how doors work cause he reaches for the knob

I read up on maine coons and there are a lot of characteristics that he has that maine coons also have.

oops I thought I said he sorry I did know that LOL.

My 2 are 10 months old and act well like dogs do.. Hard to explain. They will not drink from a bowl they love the spriklers and the tub. The have to great at the door Taffy is a lap cat 100% but Runtz likes the petting but not the holding AT ALL>.. It is a no no to hold her. Makes it hard to brush her. They are a riot and love to play but they are very acrobatic. Skittles the mom climbs the walls Runtz will if she has to but not often. They climbed the wall at the vets and he was amazed. Taffy will scold you if he dont like ya. Like a dog they all 3 will follow and meow to get something or just to tell ya the door bell rang.

our 6 year old likes to climb the door frames when she is hyper. achilles and stitches tend to get hyper at the same time and chase each other around. stitches growls when i guess her borther is a litter rough and I think he hurts her. so one day i watched them and the usual routine happens..stitches growls as if she is mad, he walks away then she tackles him from behind and the whole chasing thing starts again they are fun to watch.

so one of skittles kids came out fluffy and the other is short hair?

Taffy Is what I call sunny side up lol. His belly is long and his top is short LOL. Skittles is furry... She had 13 kittens I do recal all but 3 where furry and big paws all had big paws and there biirth weight where BIG...

13 kits at once?

achilles is sunny side up as well

Here is Runtz and mom see the tails


Here is Taffy see the furry tummy.

wow that tail looks familar
