Thread: MaineCoon or Mix - Leave her when traveling or take her?

She sounds as if she could have MC in her, lots of the traits are there,larger than normal domestic cat, sheathing her claws, play biting but you will never know for sure but if you hit it off with her then she is your furrbaby no matter what, the only way you will know you have a MC is if you go to a breeder & get registration papers with your babe.... We show & our cats love to travel & have a great time staying away for a night or two, we have taken one on holiday with us for a week as a show was involved ,it is a case of getting them used to it from the start, being a housecat you will find you build up a great relationship with them & can train them to a harness etc.... I think if you want to travel be it for a weekend or a month then might pay to find a jolly good cattery where you know she will be safe & get attention, I know I could never leave mine for a month but have a friend who puts her into a cattery for that length of time to go home to her original roots, only you can decide, the cat could end up with someone who lets her roam & after the initial few weeks doesn't care about her so in that scenario she would be better with you who obviously has her interests at heart, perhaps two might be the answer so they can keep each other company while you are away, have a feeling if you bond long trip intentions could be shorter trips.......!!!x
