OMG! I’ve always wanted a Maine coon 😻Stuart_the_Red said:Our two Maine Coons. They are half-brothers (same father, different mothers).
Insanely jealous.
What are their names??? 🥰🤩1 -
Anybody got a Norwegian Forest Cat?
They look like big buggers.
I like animals and all non human creatures quite a lot, but cats, cats I absolutely adore the little bastards.2 -
They are relatively easy to keep as pets. Good quality feed and regular brushings to stop them getting matted on their stomachs.cafcdave123 said:

They absolutely hate water and they are great climbers.2 -
The redhead is mine and is named after Gottlieb Daimler of Daimler-Benz fame and the brown was named Emile by my wife (she wouldn’t let me name him after Karl Benz, as well)!KBslittlesis said:

Thank you, I was just about to break out the photos of my dogs working with children next 😉😂Stuart_the_Red said:@T_C_EI’m only joking, your dogs are fantastic and you do fantastic work with them.0 -
Our friends from India, cricket coaches/Groundstaff both originally with dog fears always asking for photos to send home where apparently you only have a dog for one reason.

This is Esma. She's just arrived at my mate's house to be fostered for a year or so before being sent on to be trained as a guide dog. I can't imagine how they'll feel when it's time to say goodbye to her, but it's a great thing they're doing.

One of our neighbours does early guiding dog training, when he moved in he had a lab and that eventually moved on.
He spoke to me after he met our dogs and wanted to train a shepherd next, foresight is a wonderful thing but I know he’s regretting it already.At a year old they turn into absolute barstards if you let them, and for 12 months he did nothing bar exercise and once the dog reached early adolescence with no parameters resembling ground rules he took over.
He asked my advice in the dogs early days and like most people poo pooed it, with a nah a dog is a dog attitude.
The next breed to start hit the rescue will the Belgium Malinois because people think a dog is a dog, high prey drive working dogs need training and exercise not walking to the newsagent.A couple of my pals train guiding dogs for Pathfinders who use rescued sheps for leading blind folk and spend months repairing damage done by poor training.It’s not important if your dog can play dead or beg but it is important it knows how to greet someone for the first time without jumping up, it’s not important your dog shouts at another dog across the road, it is important it’s not allowed to drag you across the road because you can’t control it.Training, training and more training, everyday is a school day 😉

Can they roam, or do you have to keep them fenced in?1 -

We in herited our Mim, who we thought was a Maine Coon but couldn't confirm it. Not very approachable but came round in the end. She was 22 when she went over the Rainbow Bridge. I can see some differences here.

We got ours from Battersea, we were last chance saloon as he'd been brought back a few times, passed to Battersea as the other cats protection couldn't cope, needed a welding glove to enter the cage! They called me and I was told it's us or the vet!
But, fast forward about 4 months I managed to train him so that his first instinct wasn't to attack, and now it's rare that he does, and I know the signs so deal with it before he does. Only one downside is they are fantastic hunters, a mouse a week minimum and I wouldn't leave him alone with a baby.

They have a brown button at the back that might be the on / off button.fadgadget said:Our Patterdale Terrier , Thor who is a rescue Dog , still trying to find where the battery's are to slow him down, 100% energy ball all day .
