Were told she is 75% maincoon.

She is 5 months old and absolutely crazy. Never had a cat so energetic or sporadic!

She hates being alone. Scratches at the door if she needs the toilet. Climbs EVERYTHING like a panther.

Am loving it all btw- no complaints

She is just so funny and unlike any cat I ahve had before!

Oh and she eats everything- like a dog! You can't leave anything lying about as she takes chunks out of everything from chips to donuts!

I have a Maine Coon. Nothing like the personality of yours (although mine is a boy). What is the other 25%?

Glad you are loving your time with her. Any pictures?

You know the rules. C'mon pay the cat tax.

Our Maine Coon is (I reckon) crossed with a dog! I caught her chasing her tail the other day. She eats her food with a paw (like Arthur did in the adverts years ago) and wets her paw to drink. She is VERY different to the other cats we’ve had that’s for sure!

Wow she is glorious!

I've heard that Maine Coons are the most dog-like in personality (loyal, loving), among the most intelligent, and can be very energetic. I've never heard of anyone not loving their Maine Coon cat with a passion. A workmate a few years back had 3(!) and swore she would never be without at least 1 or 2 in her home.

In addition to the 75% MC, she has calico markings, which in terms of attitude and bossiness is the same as tortie. You realise your life is no longer your own, don't you? She's a little sweetheart btw. That beautiful face❤️❤️❤️

I have three Maine coons.

they were proper insane during the kitten stages.

I often describe them as cat hardware with dog software. They get really fucking pissed off if I dare close my bedroom door and tend to move as a pack.

the zoomies are something else - three large Maine coons treating the house as a race track is quite alarming especially at three in the morning.

EeveePeevee · 06/09/2025 21:27

She can be quite...spicy! A bit bitey and unpredictable 🤣

I thought she behaved 'doglike' as we have 3 dogs and she spends a lot of time with them.

She has so much personality! Very high hunting instincts- always after a fly or stalking something.

As @Tortielady says, that colour has a bit of a (well earned) reputation. Ever heard the term "naughty tortie"?

Tortielady · 07/09/2025 13:20

Here's my naughty tortie. She's one of the sweetest cats I've ever met, but also the bossiest ❤️
