Crazy kitten! Will she calm down?

Kalli is almost 5 months old now, really starting to get big & furry! But she's absolutely crazy & wild! We don't remember our other 2 rescue moggies being so wild. She will not sleep when we are around her - she has to be left on her own before she'll sleep! She doesn't know how to play nicely with our other cat that will put up with her (other one has no time for her!), she just constantly jumps on her!
Question are all MC kittens like this?

Whats a post without pics - from last week...she's so hard to photograph sitting still now!

Yep! :D Benji has just turned 5 months and he is a little monster! I don't get where he gets his endless energy from. Storm likes a good play so they run around after each other in the flat and wrestle like mad people. She looks very naughty, just like Benji too. I know how difficult it can be to get a decent pic considering they seem to always be on the go!

She is beaUtiful. Rasputin has calmed down as he's got older but he still spends a lot of time being an absolutel NUTCASE. Sometimes all you hear is him running up and down the stairs like a baby elephant for what seems like hours...

Funny enough, now Little Dot has settled in, she has turned into a Monster.
She will not leave the other cats alone and spends most of her time running around chasing them when they run off for some peace & quiet!

That sounds exactly like Kalli! Must have forgotten how busy kittens are! Everything she explores also goes into her mouth...everything has to be bitten and tried!:LOL:

When she whas not crazy than their whas something wrong with her :LOL:.
A maine coon kitten must be a bit crazy, thats why we like and love them so much :winkwink:

MCC kitten are like hyper puppies, you have to wear them out with lots of play time.
When I got Samantha at 6 months old after she settle in she like to fetch, While I was watching TV she'd bring me the rattle mouse I'd throw it across the room and she'd be on it like a Golden Retriever after a tennis ball.
We'd do this until she got tired and then she'd want to sit on the arm of my chair for pets and grooming.
This is how you bond with your cat, Samantha loved her Papa and was indifferent to all other people including my ex.

I really really hate to say this but Buddy is now 7 years and 5 months old and is still a hooligan. Nothing is Coonie proof. He ignores my indoor speed limits, the stairs are like others have said a race track, my bed is a spring board to other adventures, he is more of a mischievous puppy than an adult cat.... but I love him dearly and wouldn't have him any other way :)

I always thought cats were light on their feet..........WRONG!!!!!......we call them our rampaging hippos! They love chasing each other up and down the stairs.
As they are open stairs in the living room they also sleep on them as they can see everyone and have worked out the best stair, warm in the winter and cool in the summer when the fan is on!
We also have to be careful when they are in crazy mode as it has been known for a paw to come through the stairs to try to swipe you!

One word answer NO, Max is now 2 and still has mental sessions where no-one or nothing is safe, he will suddenly get THAT look in his eyes and him and George our D/Rex will take off round the house without touching the floor, things go flying, hubby shouts at him, which is usually ignored and eventually after about 1hr or when they are both Knackered they will collapse in a heap.

My Samantha calmed down at around 10 when she got to where she couldn't leap from the night stand to the top of the armoire, I'm not sure what happened but there were scratches on the front of the armoire so I think she missed slid down the front to the floor.
I think this made her lose a little confidence in her athletic abilities because she never went up there again and it had been one of her favorite spots.

Buddy is currently lounging on the kitchen roof after chasing a seagull up there .... new game spot the MC :)

LOL no ladder this time. He got up there, and eventually his tummy decided it was time to come down and eat. And I've still got the scars from his last mishap with a ladder :o

Thanks for all the great replies, some great stories! We'll start wearing kalli out a few times a day!!
