Grazuncle,
They are beautiful mate, I had 2 Maine Coons, they were both brothers, at the age of 11 years old Bozley, developed an unoperable Stoach Tumour, so he had to be put to sleep, Thomas pines away and 2 months later the vet said, āits time to ket him goā I was and still am very heartbroken and that was 8 yrs ago, they were both Tabby Coloured. They are the most Gentle, Lovingest, Softest cat in the world, I wish yours a long life my friend, and you also.

Feel for youā¦ we have had a couple of losses and we always say never again and a year later were looking after another coon. Our previous car lasted nearly 21 yrs. When Someone says āheās had a good inningsā doesnāt help at all with the loss.
On a brighter noteā¦I see yours liked the back of the settee too. Ours likes being high up. Has a favourite place for a couple of weeks and then changes it.
I hope you can get some peace to my friendā¦ It is worth a lot to us.

He is beautiful, I just love Coons, mine suffered with colitis, painful for him, but I believe that the Coons are susceptible to it. I got my pc sorted, I got onto my support team and they told me it was a problem with the others computers, so I phoned them and told them, so they mended it from their end.
They are wonderful cats, I still miss our 2, and they have a character that no other cats I have ever known have.
in the beginning it was a toss up between a Coon or Rag Doll. Never had a Rag Doll so will never know the difference.
However all of our coons have followed us around the house. If we disappear for a time they just have to go looking for us. Yet each one had a definite character.

Lol, Sooty, I creased up at that, lovely.
How is little mate in this weather?
I know cats are ācoolā butā¦ LOL
Hello Matey.
Well we booked 10 days holiday, we left after 2 days and came home, so at least he is not in a hot caravan, we have 6 fans going to keep hi cool, 2 Ceiling fans and 4 oscillating fans, and the temp is still registering 27, I wipe his fur down with wetted blue roll, he isnt too keen on it but he lets me do it, anything to keep him cool, the weather is suppose to break this evening, I hope so. and how are you doing with yours, I remember we had a hell of the time keeping our Coons cool because of their thick fur, I ended up buying an air conditioning unit that you expel out of the window, sucks the warm air out through a pipe and blows cold air into the room through its grill. are you managing to keep cool ?

reminds me of the Alanis Morrisette songā¦ āIsnāt it Ironicāā¦
you get so called wonderful weather and we canāt stand it!.. our big mate wonders around the house or garden finds his preferred little spotā¦
If he hears a floor fan going in another room heāll often get up and go to where he knows the place where the fan is sucking inā¦ clever eh? I do wet his head and ears and he doesnāt mind now. Apparently, a vet says, cats are comfortable at 10c above what we feel is comfortable.
We give him waterā¦ well he asks for it, very vocallyā¦ He wonāt drink out of a bowlā¦ only his own tap!
However we do our best to oblige himā¦ LOL
