I have been trying to figure out if my 1.5 year old fluffy, outgoing kitty is in fact a Maine Coon. Form the minute we adopted her at four weeks old, we knew she was special because her personality was different than any other cat I have had in the past. Izzy will be 2 years old at the end of this October but continues to have an extremely playful, silly, outgoing and almost goofy personality that she has had since day one.
PHYSICAL FEATURES:
- Very soft, almost silk like long hair which is long in length.
- Coloring is blonde but has different shades of blonde throughout her body (throughout her tail especially.)
- Very fluffy, "in your face", full tail
- Gold colored eyes
- Medium in size and on the lighter side when I pick her up, very long, full body
The greatest thing about my baby Izzy is her one-of-a-kind unique personality. From the day we adopted her and brought her home, she was glued to our side. She would lay on our chest to take naps and would sleep alongside of us in bed at night. Even today, she always has to be near one of us; following us from room to room. Izzy just simply prefers to be near us than go off in the house and be alone. She also manages to get into EVERYTHING and can turn any object into a toy to push around or chase. Her favorite thing to do is to knock items off of the counter/dresser/shelf etc. then push and chase them around the house. Izzy also LOVES to play fetch with just about anything! She never runs out of energy and is always up to run around and be playful. Izzy is a social butterfly. She must be a part of any activity that you are involved in and she is not shy to place herself right in the middle of the action. For example, if I am at my desk on my laptop, she will walk right up as I am typing and lay down on the keyboard. She enjoys being around people 95% of the time and acts more like a dog than a cat in many ways. Her love for water is crazy! She jumps in the kitchen sink, shower, bathtub and will even stick her little head inside a glass of water to get a drink or just to play with the water with her paws. She can also just watch the water drip in the sink for literally hours. Cats can typically jump pretty high but Izzy can only jump up onto surfaces that are not very high. She prefers me to pick her up and place her on the surface she wants to be on rather than attempting to jump.Izzy is not a very vocal cat. I do not think I have heard her meow since we adopted her. However, when she wants something from you, like a helping hand to get onto the counter, she will look at me and make a purring/chirping type noise. When I get home, I will call for her and she will run to me, make this purring/chirping type of noise and give me a few kisses and a lot of head butts which I believe is her way of telling me she is happy to see me. Other than that, she is a pretty quiet cat.
Please help me find out if she is in fact a Maine Coon cat, I would be forever grateful!
Thanks!!
