Thread: Going to look at an MC some advice

I think measuring their length is something of a hassle. We did it once but it took three people: the girls’ breeder to stretch them in show position, my husband to keep the tails horizontal, and me to tape-measue them from nose to tail tip.

We were once given a similar laser toy by neighbours whose cats weren’t interested in it. I set it on the floor, switched it on, and immediately Tatja started staring straight into it. I was afraid it might damage her eyes so I threw it in the bin.

Ok so I won't worry about the length sounds like that can be a hassle, are normal kitchen scales good enough?

Have a digital set that you can put any bowl on and reset to 0 would that be teh best way of doing it?

I'm not sure if there are kitchen scales that would accommodate a Maine Coon.
Many people on here (including myself) use digital baby scales.

Hmm you are right didn't think about that lol

Well went to see her today and the rest of her brothers and sisters, spent a couple of hours, in which time she licked both of my hands, if another kitten came close she would use her claws to take my hand away from them lol.

As I have read licking is a good sign, so all being well should pick her up next week

Then the fun begins lol

Yup, tortie...

My Minnie (not a tortie) licks my hands (and wrists and face) too but she alternates with nipping ever so gently. So it's lick-lick-lick NIP lick-lick-lick NIP - and so on...

Saw one of her sisters who is from another litter and has more cream in her, the breeder has said Rommy will get more cream in her as she grows.

So now need to kitten proof my kitchen, get a cat tree, some raw food, some combs, oh and a cat carrier, but trying to find a top loading one as that might be easier, but who knows.
