Now lets forget all our troubles with a big bowl of strawberry ice cream
go easy on him bondi, he's a blackeyed pea farmer from the midwest.....and his favorite babysitter went off to college this fall so he has way too much time on his brain.

A couple of days ago a friend of mine told me about a program she works for "Feral Felines" that had a Maine Coon cat ready for adoption. So yesterday we have breakfast together than drive over to where these cats are kept. The cat I was interested in was a three month old kitten. So we get to this place, the second floor of a transmission shop, and there's about 30 cats in cages. They bring me the coon cat, I like the way he acts/looks and agree to pay the $70.00 adoption fee. But first someone higher up the heirarchy at this organization has to approve it. I've had a Maine Coon for a pet for over ten years (Bart) until he got killed a couple of years ago. Anyway, this lady from the cat place just called me and said she wasn't going to let me have the cat because she thought the cat would get lonely living here. She thought the cat needed another cat to keep it company. She personally has 18 cats in her house. . The friend who got me interested in the first place is pissed. She thinks it's bullshit and will probably quit. WTF. Since my other cat was named Bart and this one was female, I was gonna name it Maggie. Oh well...
thst is pretty stupid. cats can be social animals as far as living with other cats but do fine on their own, as long as they have their owner. dogs are far more social creatures, so should everyone who wants a dog be forced to get at least 2? and 18 cats in your house?? i could imagine how good her place must smell.
I have 2 cats I have to get rid of...interested?
Yeah, they can do fine on their own. It makes me question the judgement of the person in charge of this program. It would be like me going into a motorcycle shop and asking to buy a 1100cc motorcycle and be told that they didn't think I could handle it. When I've told them that I've been riding an 1100 for ten years, it might change their argument. I've had a coon cat for ten years with no problems, I think I can handle it. And 18 cats? Who needs a lesson on what's best for their welfare?

I agree with you, Closeup. Besides cats are really capable of adapting...The woman that runs the place is just a freak. 18 cats Damn, I remember when we had five and that was way too many. I have two and a German Sheppard, all of them adopted. I'm not into that pure bred papered shit. I had a cat that our vet thought was part Maine Coon...it was an outstanding animal. Good choice...but then I suppose it goes with your territory.

Really more of a coincidence, having already had a coon cat, I wanted another. The thing about Maine Coon cats is that they've never been overbred unlike most dogs and cats. It kinda kept them normal. Anyway, it looks like I'm not getting another one any time soon, but I would recommend that breed to anyone interested in getting a cat.
