Thread: My New Kitten!

Got another little Teddy update! Apparently his brother (who we also really liked) is staying on a little longer too so Teddy won't be the last kitty to go!

Also, Dave did a little photoshopping...

Hmmm someone has a little too much time on his hands

Regarding the cat/dog debate I grew up with dogs (GSD's and Labs) and I can honestly say that that my pair are as loving and loyal as any dog, they have soooo many cute traits an d are amazing with children.

Just remember it's yours and Dave's choice to become Teds slave - don't fool yourself that you are his owner I got some ribbing and friendly abuse from my family but as soon as they met them all but one melted.......my Dad is never going to admit he could like a cat! strangely though he always looks for them when he visits

My family only had dogs growing up, as my mother is extremely allergic to cats. She got a cat as a child and then had to give it up because of the allergies, so she seems to have decided in her mind that cats are not good pets. She could not believe that we have cats now, and never is interested in hearing about them; if I try to start talking about them on the phone, she suddenly has to go. Oh, well. If she doesn't want to hear about a major aspect of my life then so be it.

I have to say that I was very skeptical about cats originally as well. My wife (who had a cat growing up), started feeding a stay MC mix, we eventually took him in, and surprises of surprises he became my cat. While I have known people with cats that I would not care to have, Maine Coons are extremely affectionate and people oriented. I frankly see no difference between our cats and the dogs I have had in terms of the affection I get from them nor the love I have for them. "Dog people" that have never had MCs are simply ignorant about how cats can behave. We have only MCs now, and I do not miss having dogs at all--even though I had dogs my entire life (many decades).

Haha Stacey that pic really made me chuckle! May the Force be with you and Dave when it comes to telling Dave's sister where she can stick her disapproval......!

Another one on here who has ears with kitten attatched rather than the other way round,he is looking a smashing little fella....

I know Jackie! He's a bit like a kitten version of Dumbo! Most of this littermates have big ears too and we've actually seen one of the 16 week old kittens who hasn't got a home yet - she had big ears when we visited the first time but when we went back she had grown into them a bit!

I'm still not sure where we stand with Dave's family. His dad, who's allergic, is actually the least bothered. He should have told them from the beginning rather than springing it on them now but that's men for you! We're sure his sister will find some way of coming over to check if our flat has been destroyed and our lives have been ruined by Teddy. Eugh. Part of me wants her to meet him and see how cute he is and another part wants her to stay well away and keep her negativity with her!

Poor you, having to contend with this negativity. For goodness' sake, it's a kitten, not an elephant! Why are they making such a fuss - it's your life after all and you're not doing anything unusual. Don't let them rain on your parade! xxx

Just keep a bag of nice smelly poo somewhere at hand & if you want to get rid of her tip it out into his tray,waft the smell about a bit & when she turns up her nose just say you are lucky it normally smells worse than that,should work in making her do a quick exit & don't think she would want to come back just in case....
Anyway MC's do not ruin anything {hardly }they just want to be loved by everyone.
Looking forward to reading your posts after family have visited !
