Introducing A New Maine Coon Kitten In Our Family

Starting a new life is not easy for anyone. Imagine if they took you away from your mother, took you to who knows where, and put you in an absolutely alien and, as such, hostile environment. And you are only three months old.

I think my cats tell the kittens that they have to leave our house and go to another family. In short, kittens know what awaits them. Some don't want it, others ask every person who comes to take them. In any case, the first days are hard for everyone. 

Our New Maine Coon Cat Travels In Train To Join Our Family

Without little ones at home, life becomes too sad. It's hard to get them through, but with their joy of living, they bring light into life. Even if there are only small animals in the house. It doesn't matter -- they still have that liveliness and energy. Maybe this is also why I decided I needed to get a new kitten.

Take a kitten into the cattery

I reserved the kitten when he was one month old. I went to see it to make sure it's how I want it. Because I wanted a red cat with white. And as I discovered, it's not so easy to find exactly this color. 

Phantom Pregnancy Of A Maine Coon Cat Ended With Inflammation

Last week was very difficult both for me and my Maine Coon cat Mefiti whom I have already talked about before. Not only did she have an abscess under her throat. She was pretending to mate with Filippo a month ago. Filippo is castrated and these games end badly for her:

Mefiti wanted to have kittens so much that she developed a hysterical pregnancy. 

Well, things did not exactly this way. The cat had a hormonal swing. It's not that she "invented" a pregnancy voluntarily like humans could do (by the way, they say, Phantom Pregnancy is possible in human beings, too). 

Maine Coon cats have heat practically every month all year round and can mate even immediately after giving birth. This is a serious problem in homes where owners do not want to sterilize their cats. In my case, I have a small registered domestic cattery and therefore my cats are not sterilized. 

Gorgeous Character of Giant Maine Coon Cats -- I'll Tell You Some Stories About Them

Every animal has a distinct character. 1-cent-big fish, a bird, a cat, a dog. Their personal characters are leveraged with the traits common to their species. In my life, I have raised many types of animals and know what they are like.

Observing animals opens your eyes to their "societies". 

I saw a small green scalaria (an aquarium fish) saving a large black scalaria that was weak and seak from a goldfish that was 5 times larger than the savior. Seeing this incredible rescue made me change my opinion of fish forever. 

I really like quails. These very curious birds are always busy with lots of problems to solve. 

Philipp, Maine Coon Cat Without Psycological Problems

 Filippo is a young cat who spent the first two years of his life in a cage. They rented him to breeders as a breeding stock. He arrived in my house as a fur ball that weighed only 5 kilos. This is the weight of a two-year-old female, not a male. He was so mistreated that he didn't know that it was possible to play, he didn't know how to express his feelings. It made me cry when I watched him.

At first, I didn't know what to do with him. His fur was terrible: just lumps. I was thinking of taking him to the groomer to shave him. But the groomer was not working in that period. Maybe on vacation. Then I slowly started combing him, tearing out all that dead hair.

Within a week or two he had become more relaxed. Now it was time to bring him back. I don't like cats unless they're red. But this poor creature who had now become alive... It was so painful to think that he had to go back to the cage... And I decided to leave him with us.
