Thread: New maine coon owner

welcome MC001, have a look at the thread "dear cat some house rules"- it will tell you everything you need to know :-D
also, strangely when mine was a baby she ate her weight in anything I could give her - now that she's 3 years old she became more difficult, she has even been known to turn her nose on some chicken lately which is something I never thought would ever happen as chicken were her treat of choice - when she used to gobble up to 6 pouches of the very best and pure food (well, spoilt is spoilt what can I say) I could find, she now has about half a pouch in the morning, although I still give her the whole pouch - and then I change it in the evening so she has another half a pouch through the night - have to turn because sometimes it's sheba, sometimes it's gourmet, sometimes it's felix... Mademoiselle doesn't like repetition. I also have some Royal Canin special for MC dry food in the food maze. I am careful that I only ever feed her Royal Canin if she's had water in the morning - I see her drink because as Jacky said she drinks from the tap - more annoying to her human, therefore more fun that way. So the rule is if she's had water from the tap in the morning then she's alowed a fistful of dry food - this way she has less chance of getting dehydrated and damage her kidneys.
PLEASE post some pics :-)
