i know that i said i was looking for a ragdoll but i have been offord a Maine Coons. so do u all think i should wait for a ragdoll or go for the Maine Coons??
i like both breeds
Hi Natalie
I like both ragdolls and Maine Coons but I am no expert so I'm afraid I can't help you.
I hope someone with more knowledge of the breeds will be able to advise you.
Good luck whichever you choose.
Hi Nat
I like Ragdolls... but i like Maine Coons too! Have you seen them in real life yet? They are huuuge! I would love one! If you can get to a cat show go as it they you can see just how big they get! :shock:
Im sure you'll be glad either way tho :-)
Post pics when u get one!

nope a ragdoll.
they are the breed that was on top of my list. i do like the Coon but i think in the long run there are to big, i think the ragdoll are in the mibble :D
i cant wait till i get to see him
Natalie
Yes its probably the best decision as Main coons are very big (Ive seen some abigger than west highland terriers! :shock:). Ragdolls are fab and like you say are more in the middle - cant wait to see more pix!! :-)
Aaawwww! He's just so gorgeous Nat! I think you've made the right choice.... how could you not fall for a little face like that! Bet you can't wait to get him home.
Look forward to seeing more pics of him later.

bobbie3917
09-10-2004, 01:20 PM
i like Mittens.
so far its Mittens and Jasmin
How about Mitts?
c'mon Mags u r good with names!

I like Mittens too. It's a bit obvious - bet there are a few of that breed with that name but that doesn't matter. There are lots of big male dogs called Tyson, Bruno etc; doesn't mean it doesn't suit them.
It's also quite a nice name for calling to get them in - or just use a fork on a dish - that works like magic!
Good luck and keep us posted.
It only took about 4 weeks before my new puppy and the Siamese were sharing a lap. We don't even have any chasing now...well maybe a bit of 'going through the motions' movement, but no intent. The cats are quite happy to enter a room while the pup's there, or cross the garden whilst she's out.
I think it's even easier introducing a kitten to a grown dog. I remember my sister keeping the kitten in a cage whilst the dogs were around, for about 3 days only. They were, in turn, keen, fascinated, protective and then totally besotted.
Is the kitten used to dogs? If not it mightl take her a little time to become confident.

no she is not used to dogs but i have had staffords and a kitten before.
what i done is this and i hope to do it about the same this time
when we picked the kitten up we had him in a carry box on the way home came in and let the dogs in to see him(he was still in the crate)
i put the kids to bed and just left the dogs smell him and try to lick him though the crate.
after the dogs had settled a bit we left him out but had the dogs on leads just in case. with in 2 days they had stopped tring to lick him to death and would sleep together.
they were never left alone together untill the kitten could jump high to get out of the way but the kitten was alway boss.
i dont think it is going to be that easy this time as Tara HATES cats and Grace is still a pup but they all know that i am top and if i say no then no it is.
(for those that dont know i have 3 staffords)
I am trying to come up with some names....honest! :lol: :lol:
Right.....how about:
Bonnie
Sasha
Poppy
Tamsin
Freya
Honey
Jess(ie)
Amber
Phoebe
Cassie
I still like Jasmine (Jazz) though! :D
Good names!
I liked Sasha and Tamsin the most! :-)
Awww!
Wos wrong with Cassie then, Azz? :wink: :wink:
its great ! honest! Just I already know one cassie!! And it might confuse me knowing two! (lol) :-)

bobbie3917
07-11-2004, 05:23 PM
i picked her up yesterday. she is called Mittn and she is 4 months old. i had to go all the way to conwall to get her so 5 hours to pick her up (got stuck on the m5) and 4 hours home but she was worth it.
the kids love her and she is good with them, the dogs are ok as long as she dont walk on the floor but they are getting better and will never be on there own with her.
and i wil have pic soon
Congrats on your new kitten Nat. Mitten is a lovely name too, bet she's getting lots of cuddles :wink: Glad to hear the dogs are ok with her.
