The Maine Coon Cat is considered to be one of the oldest natural breeds in North America and generally regarded as a native of the state
of Maine.  It is the official Maine State Cat

There are a number of attractive legends surround its origin. One being, however, impossible, belief is that it originated from
matings between semi-wild, domestic cats and raccoons. This myth, bolstered by the bushy tail and the most common coloring (a raccoon-like brown tabby) led to
the adoption of the name ‘Maine Coon.’  Another popular theory is that the Maine sprang from the six pet cats Marie Antoinette sent to Wiscasset, Maine when she was planning to escape from France during the French Revolution. Most breeders today believe that the breed originated in mating between pre-existing short-haired domestic cats and overseas longhairs.

Maine Coons are highly people-oriented cats. They do not constantly pester you for attention, but prefer to just “hang out” with their owners to
investigate whatever activity you’re involved in and “helping” when they can. They are not known as “lap cats”, however most Maine Coons will stay close by, probably occupying the chair next to yours instead. They will also follow you from room to room and wait outside a closed door for you to emerge. They just love to wear beautiful rhinestone cat collars enhancing their statute.

Why do cats like to lie on things, such as pieces of paper, folded bedding, clothing or whatever.

There are several  reasons why my cats do this.  Our feline friends like to be near us.  Jazz knows that if he plops himself right under my nose, he will get all the good attention. And is is right.  I stop what ever I’m doing a pay attention to his every whim. I think Jazz Cat has a need for my warmth and security.  He just leaves his scent on anything that belongs to me because it just makes him feel better and more secure.

Jazz also likes small spaces and this is probably the reason he likes a folded towel, magazine or my coat on the bed.  Or it might just another reason to be with me. Whatever the reason, it’s just another fascinating aspect of Jazz cat behavior for you to observe. So when your cat is suddenly lying on your newspaper right under your nose, take advantage of this compliment and pay her some attention. The quirkiness of cats is just one of the reasons we love them and find them so fascinating.

When I take my cat for a ride in the car he simply hates the car by all the noise, the movement and the confusion surrounding the ride is simply too much.   Many cats spend the entire ride howling to escape.  The video describes how your cat can be when riding town. This can also be quite unpleasant to the owner.

The cat carrier is the most logical solution to taking your cat to the vet or just around town when you visit your friends.  The cat will feel safer in a carrier, as it will feel like a little shelter to him. Maybe put something that smells like home in the carrier with him. Try covering the carrier. With the scent of home in his little shelter and a cover blocking out the world, he might forget he’s in a car. 

Or if you like your cat to roam the car with you start by  acclimating your cat to the car prior to the needed ride. Put him in the car, give him food and treats then bring him back inside. Once he adjusts to this, then try doing it again this time also start the engine, if needed follow this with a short ride. Some of the anxiety is likely to dissipate as your cat realizes that he is safe and secure in the car.

This is the story about my most favorite all time cat Auzzie.  I found Auzzie at the animal sherter a number of years ago when doing a promotion at Chirstmas to be view on the local tv program about adoping shelter cats and dogs.  Auzzie took an imediate liking to my wife by kissing and hugging her.  We wanted to adopte him that day because he was so friendly and needed a home.  So we both jumped in and adopted him the very next day.

Because of our other Cats had a problem with a new cat in the house, we left him at our business that evening.  When we returned the next morning he was going crazy because being alone all night.  We decide then to take him home every night, caring him from home to work every day.  He became a fixture on the front counter where all our customer would give him pleanty of attention and TLC.

When our two major cats passed away, we kept him at home to wander our property chasing the wild life around our home.  During the day he would lay in the sun  all day, play with all is cat toys and prow all night for hidden critters.  About midnight he would bring in all his newly found friends to show us that he was a might hunter.  Snakes, mice and opossum where just a  few animals the bought in the house. 

Auzzie live to about 13, wherein he was attached and killed by my neighbors dog.  We cried for days.  He was cremated and will rest with me when I pass on.  Our ashes will be mixed together and tossed into the Caribbean.  Even at years of him being go to heaven, I still cry at night.  He was my best friend for many years.  I love you Auzzie!  You’ll always be with me in my heart!

There are many reasons why we share our life with cats but all of them have something mutual. Love is that very thing which unites us: our love of animals, their grace, simplicity, sincerity, beauty, devotion, affection, spontaneity, playfulness. And their love of us, human beings, only cats knows the secret why do they love us.

Now I have 7 wonderful cats whom I enjoy there company day and night.  The list is long why?

• Michael’s nose that twitches and daintily stepping all over the newspaper when I’m reading
• Jazz’s love affair with open boxes
• Teattle’s full-body stretches and looking for me every time I’m in the shower
• When Mrs. Kitty curls up on my chest and puts her paw to my cheek
• When Jessie Jane gives me pet me now nudges
• Seven’s  attention-seeking stunts
• Samantha’s sandpaper kisses

 and finally with all of them their constant need to be near me, their ability to find the only square of sunshine on the carpet and fall asleep in it, their way they all curl their tails around their feet so tidily, when I wake up in the morning and look up they’re all there and their unconditional love and companionship.

This is what I call true cat care!!!

Well, this is Mike (on the right) today with his sister Jessie Jane and he still tears daily and will require medication for the rest of his life.  How did I finally resolve giving him his daily medication.  It was easy after thinking about the problem.  It was called a can of Bumble Bee Chunky Light Tuna. I have to feed Mike and his sister every morning trying to keep them separated from the Tuna delight with Mike’s powder medication mixed in his serving.  All the Cat Lovers need to remember that your cat health issues and problems are the up-most importance to keep them on the right track of being happy campers.

This cat drinking fountain turned out to be a big event of drinking water while also taking a plunge into a bath situation.  This is one of the most funniest videos I have seen in a long time.  Usually cats don’t like to get wet, but this cat is going for the gusto.  Very, very funny!
