Thread: Can a Tarnished Silver Classic Maine Coon Become "Untarnished"?

That is great! Ava definitely needs her roots "doing", much like Sid, so you may be right. She is listed as "red silver classic tabby & white", but she really is a strawberry blonde with white feet. I like white toes on a cat, it makes it much easier to see what you are doing when cutting their toenails.

We remember meeting your Wolfie - he was quite lively at 12 weeks old! In fact, we came away quite relieved that he was not our kitten - he was into everything and Ava seemed a lot calmer.... she was just on her best behaviour and has now shown her true colours. Lovely temperament, kind and gentle, but my goodness is she strong-willed! If she wants to sit on you, it's easier just to give in. She now thinks all tins contain tuna, Sid is a cushion and the whole world revolves around d her. Which it does, really.

We are currently trying to lead-train her for Pets as Therapy. Sid is brill, can sit on command and is learning "up" but Ava is taking a long time to twig what is required. I don't think she's dim, just not so keen to please me as Sid. We will get there, though. She loves being fussed so is perfect for visiting the elderly - she is already visiting my Mum in her nursing home and is very well behaved, just not yet very well trained!
