Went shopping last night and ended up PetSmart buying supplies. Checked out the cats that were up for adoption and this little fella came home with us. Fritzli is about 6 months old and a cutie.

The other cat we adopted a couple of years back is doing well with him and the dogs keep trying to sniff the newcomers bum (it's a dog thing;-))

We are about to head off to the vet. Looks like he has a cold since he's sneezing, runny nose and eyes.

Nice looking cat, for sure. Is he "pre-fixed"??

Maine Coons - because Bobcats are illegal. :p

Our cat was HUGE. 44lbs. pure white and he was AMAZING with our newborn son. He passed away, and im really sorry to say that.

Sterling is about 30+ lbs and is an awesome cat. The little one has a great personality too. He had a little accident last night and once we removed the litter box cover, he hit the mark every time;-)

Yes both of them are fixed if that's what you are asking.

jeez. a cross between main coon and a siamese.

I currently have a maine coon, and a new little seal point firecracker I got from a breeder.

Quite the combo.

Cute looking critter.


As for the 44 pound cat, sounds like one to use for those giant chinese rats.

Cute kittie :)

I have something similar, but rather than calling it a "scratching post" they called it a "cat condo" lol

We have a total of 4 stands and three of them have a hole where the little one can hide in.

The big one he has one stand he loves to scratch on and about every two months I replace the carpet on the bottom because he just tears it apart. Saves the furniture from being clawed.

That's the problem with these. Cats tear them apart in no time. All 4 of my cats are declawed (front paws only) so it's not an issue.

They are all indoor cats so they don't need their front claws to defend themselves the way they would have to if they were outdoor cats. I know declawing is a divisive issue amongst cat owners, but mine have never "suffered" as a result. Plus, I have a top-notch vet.

Superpet used to have beautiful cat trees, not sure if they still do. The "trunk" is brown and the "leaves" are green. I have one. Six feet tall, four big shelves, very well worn.
