Thread: Intelligence, willingness to please, or what?

MC are "pleasers" and very clever (too)

She sounds absolutely delightful. Wishing you many years of happiness together.

And don't forget to post some pictures....kitten and border collie cuteness!!!

awww yes she does sound fabulous!

well, mine isn't so eager to please - that's a bit of an understatement - but that's probably because we spoiled her from the start. Or also may be because she was taken from her dam at birth, she never got to be taught the maine coon way ;-)

She seems however rather too clever, and manages to get what she wants pretty quickly, and she is VERY demanding of attention - that's a bit of a strange thing in a cat. She doesn't always get what she wants by being a Sweetie, but often by being a Pirate. She usually starts by being quite sweet, proper picture of the kitten in distress, but then if she doesn't get what she wants in the time allocated, she'll start stomping angrily about, you can see her coniving little brains working and plotting her revenge, then she'll start biting our legs to stir us where she wants us, which is funny - when she doesn't go too hard - sometimes she forgets herself a little and then it's time-out.

Also, I can say, mine definitely hasn't learned not to play with claws out... The concept seems a bit alien to her... as witnessed by my husband's shredded arms.

So - I would say, both Maine-Coon AND luck of the draw, yours seems EXTRA special - especially giving baths to the dog, that's a good one which I wish you would film!! :-D I wana see!
