Maine coon and cohabitation with norwegian

Hi all,

Anyone got any experience with maine coons and other cat breeds? We have been offered a Norwegian kitten and what with Schrodinger being on his own we think it would be great for him to have some company especially while he's still young.

My concerns and i ask for anyones advice, recommendations, information, is how do you find introducing a new cat/kitten in the home?

To be honest im not sure how Shrodes going to take it. We've discovered over the last 6-12 months that when ever he see's another cat outside he flips his *&^?% and gets REALLY nervous (does the mouth clicking noises, shakes like Michael J Fox and normally bolts inside... for a cat his size... he really is a pussy!

We have a 4 year old Maine Coon male and a 1 1/2 year old female Norwegian, they are somewhat similar, but different also. Our Maine coon is very intelligent but has a very sweet countenance, he is very socially acclimated to both me and my husband. The Norwegian is a house cat, and a bit of a Diva, though she is very sweet too. She has made my husband a cat person because she gives him so much attention..she is very aware of any changes in the home and very involved, but not in the way. Archie, my Maine Coon has me wrapped around him "paw" because he is so communicative with his eyes and just able to get his point and let me know what he needs.Luna, our Norwegian, is a lovely and beautiful aristocratic type cat. Both have wonderful temperaments and LOVE each other. They nap together, clean each other. Archie goes outdoors, Luna doesn't.

Sounds like you have a great pair of loving cats there! thanks for the insightful post!
