Thread: Adopting a domestic short hair to keep maine coon company?

I ended up getting my Maine Coon a playmate before I got my Maine Coon LOL...
While we were waiting for Roxy (MC) to be old enough to come home from the breeder, I found a feral kitten so we ended up raising them together and they were best friends. However Church (the DSH) is actually similar to Roxy in size, he's a pretty big cat and Roxy is a female so she's on the smaller side. As adults Church is now 11 pounds and Roxy is probably around 12-13 (haven't weighed her recently.)
When they were a year or two old, I rescued a litter of feral kittens. I ended up keeping several of those kittens, however both Church and Roxy did not care for the kittens very much. They tolerated them but they weren't "friends" with them like they were with each other.

Here are Church and Roxy:

Hi there, I have a small female tabby moggie who is as timid as can be, but having a younger MC playmate (now just over age 1) has brought her out of her shell. They love playing racing games tomorrow and keep each other company when they are alone in the house!

Oh yeah here are Church and Roxy playing as kittens:

Coco is Elvis' little buddy.

She was born feral and is fairly skittish around everyone but me and Elvis and some days she's not sure about him.

They're both around three years old and get along fine for the most part. I got her within a few months of Elvis, so they grew up together.

Some days he likes to throw his weight around ( he's twice her weight and three times her size... ) but she's feisty enough to deal with him and give plenty back...

They've been tag-teaming the winter mice in the basement lately. Seems like great fun, but I can do without the presents.

Biggest problem is food. Elvis has always been very skinny so I leave food out 24x7.
There's no way to keep her out of it so she's turning into a tiny little butterball...

Totally beautiful xx
