Thread: Is her back normal

I think it might be something typical for maine coons... Our adult males have the same habbit.

I keep looking at all of mine,Bruce is the only one with that shaped back as he sits & although a couple of the others have their paws slightly turned none of them have got that bowed bend in their leg,will just keep watching now........

I've been wondering this same thing myself as Gryfn walks around with a curved back.... seems to be a mc thing I guess.

Here is a pic of Sarah at 9 months with I think the same curve in her back.

I have also noticed that Zack has a curve in his back now when he is standing and I noticed it because he was standing right next to Sarah and she didnt have it. He is not quite 9 months yet so I am thinking it must be something they do about this age

It must be to do with their length then - I've not noticed any weird bone shapes on Freyja but when playing with something she will often be on her back with her back legs up and over her head, claws in the carpet, whilst she plays with the toy in her front paws. Really strange to see as I've never seen another cat do it, but as Candes says, it seemed natural and comfortable to her, and she's always doing it.

Teddy Bearz looks more like a snake in that photo how his body is bending,shows off his coat pattern to perfection & I just luv it.

Kind of looks like a longer haired bengal when you can't see that precious little MC face.
