You can walk them (on a harness) but training them is not easy - OTOH, if they like it, you will be walking them forever.I got to love my friend's cats but I could love 'em and leave 'em - she couldn't leave and, although they weren't "spoiled", they were very demanding .....
Omah, thanks for the info but they sound like your average spoiled pet to me. Can you imagine surprising the husband
They have kittens a mere 2 hours from here. LOL!
But our cat would hate it and so would our dogs.
How would you travel?
With its head out the window of course

Re: American Maine Coon Cats
I have a Maine Coon Rag Doll cross her name is Sox...she isn't as big as the pictures shown here but she is pretty big.It's true about them being more dog like....you will think I'm exaggerating now but the kids in the neighbourhood come and call for her to play out....she loves that and plays with them on the village green next to my house. She is fearless too she stands her ground where dogs are concerned and never backs off...it confuses dogs who don't know her and their owners too.
She is a gorgeous cat .

Thanks for all the info.
How different are they to take care of from your standard domestic cat?
Apparently they need brushing everyday.
What type of food do you feed yours?
Do they live shorter lives since they are bigger?
Did you need to get bigger kitty boxes and how are they with keeping clean? Most cats are ultra clean so I’d imagine it’s the same.
Do you think they would get along with dogs if they were raised together when small?
How do they get along with standard cats. I’m wondering how my other cat would handle it.
I’m wondering how practical it would be to get one and how would it fit in with a small Yorkie and schnoodle and average domestic cat.
Please don’t feel obligated to answer.
