Aw-w-w-w!

@Catseye3 he will be 11 months old in another couple of weeks. He's pushing 14.5 lb, and more than 36 inches long, from tip of nose to tip of tail.

Not the greatest lover (hard to remember that he's still a kitten!), yet.

But yesterday, at 4 AM he snuggled up next to my head in bed, put his paws on my arm and started "making biscuits" on my arm.

I should add that he's, by far, the most "social" cat we've ever had (we've had 5 6). He always is in the same room with us, has no fear of strangers. When I leave the condo to get the mail, take out the garbage, on my return, I find him sitting in the foyer, waiting for me.

Well maybe you were not so social/available to the first 5? Jk.

You know how people try to make docs feel guilty.

I want a Maine Coon.

I want a Maine Coon.

We have one.

So far he's destroyed about $400 worth of hiking gear.

It's my fault, and usually he's a very good kitty, but fucking shit, y'know?

[Mik]

Meh. Human carelessness.

Chloe is a big biscuit maker. So sweet.

Our Maine Coon is terribly mess-withable. Whatever you do, he's back to begging for pets seconds later. They're nice kitties.

You left that turd lying there just hoping it would get picked up, didn't you......

[Mik]

Not that kind! We had one out under the bird feeder last night. Young’un.

I looked up Maine Coon. Yes! That was what our "sassy" looked like. He showed up one day, and stayed. We figure the neighbor down the street moved, and just left the cat behind. My daughter named her him.

Really a cool cat. He lived a long life, we had to put him down maybe 5 years ago. I remember he'd lay in the middle of the street, catching some sun, enjoying the warm pavement. Car would come down the street, and the most he'd do is look up at the coming car. The driver would always slow down, and carefully go around.

Not as terminal as it sounds. We live on a cul-de-sac so hardly any traffic.

Oh yeah.

And the dummies are still falling for it?

Get it? Falling for it?

I've twirled a bunch of squirrels in my day...
