Maine Coon Cats / One Cat Too Many…..

How do you know you have one cat too many?    Well, you start with one or two and build up slowly till weird things keep happening.   Then you are stuck.   SeaCat’sRest has one cat too many at this time.   There.  I’ve admitted it.  A very nice cat named Blacky is available for a new home.   She loves people but not other cats at this point in her life.   Anyone want a warm, fuzzy, happy to be alone lap cat?

Maine coon cats are really the topic of this blog.   They are the latest two additions to our home.   We have a pair of cats with all their parts and the thought was that we would have kittens available to start a home business of sorts, but that has not happened.    But the resulting conflicts of  the cat-kingdom have forced us to do something we have never done before, keep a cat in one room.   My office has become the home of our male coon cat Photon- the one on the ladder.   Now I work from home, spending 70 hours every other week in this room, so he is not alone by any means.   He is not very excited about that limitation.   However our other three cats agree with us that that is the best solution.

Maine coon cats are an interesting breed.   They are larger cats, they both love water and play in it.   They will follow you around, wanting to be near you and just hang with you when you go about gardening or chores around the house.  Want to find our cat Sophie?   Run some water in the bathroom and she shows up.    I have two “water buckets” around the house just so she can splash around every day.    If I don’t do that, she will splash out all the water in the cat’s water bowl.    Photon has his head butt welcome to folks that come to see him.   If you sit in the right chair he will climb up and push his face into your face to say hello, purring like crazy.   They love to climb and spent a lot of time climbing ladders to the roof this summer while Bruce was painting the house.

I know, spaying our cats will solve this problem.    I will do that eventually, but I’d still like to see some kittens and there is always my outdoor cat pen for the summer cat-house. In the meantime, if you want to get to know a couple of Maine coon cats (outside of course!) before you get your own, come on down and stay at SeaCat’sRest. I also have to give honorable mention to our third wonderful cat Murlmel, who is a Norwegian forest cat (the orange cat on our photo page. Blacky, who will be 15 this year is the cat that no longer likes other cats around. She is a true Maine barn cat, and has a wonderful relationship with all of our guests.   She is the one looking for another place to call home.
