Went to see Eric again yesterday and he is now such a chunky monkey ... weighs nearly a kilo at 7 weeks ... pic attached is his new best mate who is just over 5 weeks old ...would be a shame to seperate them now wouldnt it ... they look so cute together ...dont you think

Hmmm.... "looks so cute together".

5 coonies down the line, within 12 months, I know that comment soooo well!!

Oh yes, it would be a crime to seperate them! Go on! You know you want to!

They would both be psychologically scarred for life if you seperated them.

As a responsible Maine Coon owner it is your duty to take them both (and any others that are available)

They are both stunning!!!

Oh my word,how wonderful & cute they are in their own seperate ways but BOTH together,just stunning & I agree no way could you seperate them,my Shimba & Welly were together from the day they were born,suckled next to each other,always played & slept together & I am sure that is why Welly came & sat with that "I am coming too"look when we went to see Shimba,how could we ever have not taken him as well,deal done & have never regretted it,four years on they still work together & not always to the advantage of the humans in the household but what fun....
So Eric what is your new friends name going to be...? x

ernie ...lol.... eric was originally chosen as he is red and other half is manu fan - so cantona ...but now we have eric and ernie ... for those not from the uk or too young ... famous comedy duo over here a few years back .... apparently they are bullying the rest of the litter and have become partners in crime for all things kitteny

Wonderful, wonderful. How could any right-minded MC slave refuse such a pair? It sometimes happens that if you separate 2 closely-bonded MC kittens, they will pine for each other and it takes ages for them to get over it. I'm sure Eric and Ernie will 'bring you sunshine' for many years to come! (groan, sorry).

Ooh so you should be

, i wonder if the next addition will be Angela???

Got to admit I would not be able to seperate them, we went for Roxy as when we decided we were having cats I wanted a blue (grey to me then) and we chose Hector as they were always together. I wanted two so they would always have company and they are so amusing to watch, one word of warning though you will think you have got two hippos in kittens clothing when they chase each other around!!!!

Funny when i was driving to work this morning and thinking about my new additions , and always having had a tortie girl in mind eventually, i did think about angela as a name

O gee - must pass that one on to the breeder - she did send me a you tube of ernie the fastest milkman in the west!!! I have been told that they are the bullies in the house taking on the other 5 kittens as partners in crime.
