Thread: My baby was born this week!

I'm new here. I haven't ever owned a indoor cat and have always been a dog person. I did foster abandoned kittens when I was younger, but always adopted them out. I decided to look into cat breeds because I have a chihuahua and she needs a friend and I also wanted a new baby, but didn't want another dog. I fell in love with the Maine Coon. I went to met a breeder and her adult cats. They were so sweet and HUGE!. I was scared to pet them.

Anyway my baby was born this week. I original wanted a brown classic tabby, but after seeing the beautiful coloring of their mother I decided to get a silver tabby male. Here are pictures of the babies and mom and dad. I am looking forward to posting pics. I'm thinking of names for my boy. I was thinking of maybe Chunk or Ziggy, but my bestie said name him Godzilla because these cats are so huge it looks they could eat Gigi. She is only 4lbs, lol.

Congratulations on your new addition.
No need to be afraid, Maine Coon male for all their size are just over grown Mommas boys and the girl are as gracious as they are beautiful.
Some refer to them as the Golden Retrievers of the cat world and the name gentle giants is well deserved.
The main problem is settling for only one as they're quite addictive and there nothing as much funny as a house hold of the thundering herd.

Lovely photos, but as Bob says, one Coon is never enough. You have been warned

How exciting and the babies look adorable!

Looking forward to hearing about your new baby and seeing him grow.

Thanks so much! I'm so excited.

Lovely photos. I just bet you're excited and one is definitely not enough - there's just something about them. I can't wait to be able to get another, but 2 is my limit.
