Living with them
Maine Coon personality
They follow me from room to room. They want to help with whatever I am doing. They want to supervise. Some of mine trill more than they meow. That is the temperament I live with.
What they actually do all day
Whatever I am working on, one of them is in it with me. They do not wait in another room for me to become interesting. They come find the work.
The day, not a pose
They sit on the keyboard. They get in the sink. They want the chair you just stood up from. That is the day, not a weekend personality. If you wanted a cat that stays on the windowsill, this is a different animal.
If you want a demanding, affectionate helper, this is that animal. That is the honest description. Demanding is in there on purpose.
Brushing is part of the life.
I wrote that week out on Maine Coon cat care.
Wonderful to work with! Her Kittens are fabulous and a great addition to any family! I’m not normally a cat person, but after adding one of her kittens to my life, I am now looking to get my third for her as well. Highly recommend!!

Kids, pets, and how I say yes
They are wonderful with kids. They are wonderful with other pets. I have placed them into homes that already had both.
I am not nervous about a busy house. A busy house is usually the good version for this breed.
I look at previous pet history before I say yes. Not to grade you. It tells me how an animal has actually lived with you, which is more useful to me than a promise.
My experience was great. She was very knowledgeable and gave us all the information needed to give vision a great home would recommend her to anyone looking for a Maine Coon cat. Thanks again, Jennifer

Who is not a fit
I say no to an empty house and to declawing. The full home rules are on About. Apply is where I ask about your hours.
This page is about the animal in the room. Who gets a yes is a different question.
If you want a cat that keeps to itself, stop here. The rest of this page is for people who want a cat in the middle of the work.
Not a fit if you plan to declaw. That is a no for me.
After they go home
After they go home, you can call, text, or email me anytime. I want this to go well in your rooms too.
Questions I get about temperament
Are Maine Coon cats affectionate?
Mine are forward, curious, and affectionate. They follow me around and help with whatever I am doing.
Are Maine Coon cats good with kids?
They are wonderful with kids. I have placed into homes that already had them.
Are they good with dogs and other cats?
They are wonderful with other pets. I look at your previous pet history before I say yes.
Can a Maine Coon be an only cat?
Not if the house is empty all day. A kitten should not be alone more than 2 to 4 hours on most days unless other animals live there.
Are they high energy or clingy?
They are helpers. They want to supervise. Some of mine chirp more than they meow. If you want a cat that keeps to itself, this is not that cat.
Will you place a kitten with someone who wants to declaw?
No. That is a no for me.
What kind of home do you look for?
People who are home a lot, or a house with other pets in it. How a kitten gets from me to you.
