Introducing Thistleglen Magic, Thistleglen Harris & Kora

Hello all,

I thought I would join the forum and introduce myself and my 'Coons. Mr name is David and I live in the Dundee area with my two Maine Coons, Magic and Harris; my Bengal, Kora; and my partner. Magic is six years old now, Kora is two and a half, and Harris is just over four months.

Magic and Harris came from Thistleglen Maine Coons here in Dundee whom I would highly recommend. Even after six years I was still in contact with Felicity to discuss Magic and his development. This made choosing a breeder for our new kitten very easy; it had to be Thistleglen. Kora came from Gayzette Bengals up in Mintlaw Aberdeenshire.

Magic is a very loyal, gentle boy, who is my best friend. Most of the time he can be found on my legs sleeping. At night he will climb onto our bed and demand stroking. If denied he pushes his paw onto your check until you comply. Normally he will settle and cuddle up to me all night. In fact he loves an arm around him, just like a human does.

Kora is a typical Bengal. Very vocal, full of energy and a little mad - although she has been settling slightly as she advances in age. She has various tricks such as fetch, and pulling on the kitchen fan cord to turn it on providing much amusement for us.

Harris is my partner's cat and we bought him a few months after her old lad had to be put to sleep. Harris was born around Christmas time last year and we collected him just weeks ago. As we live close by to Thistleglen we were able to visit a few times therefore getting to know him, and he us. A very loveable boy he is and can be found most days chasing Kora, or playing fetch with his ball. He is a real purr machine and we're certain he is going to be a very loveable, lazy lad as he matures.

Here are some pics of the gang. Hope you all enjoy them and I look forward to chatting with you all.

Thank you :koolkat: Yes Bengals are a bit of a handful to be fair. That said, I believe depending on which lines you choose to buy from can make a huge difference to personality.

Hi and a warm welcome to the forum! Lovely pictures of your brood! I also come from the Dundee area but I had not known about Thistleglen until today. I'll enjoy browsing their site :smile:

He is actually growing quite rapidly right now. I think me will be a big lad.

Thx for sharing David! What beautiful cat-kids you've got! I'm very envious, as we can only find time for our 2 -- and yes, they are a handful too! Welcome - you'll like it here!

Hi David and welcome to the forum to you and your beautiful furry family.:smile:

Indeed.....To be honest I believe she would list us in that order also :lol:

Currently I'm being pestered by Harris to throw his ball for him to fetch. Well I say it's his ball; he actually stole it from Kora who is looking on with green envy!

Magic is even less impressed. Harris is determined to bath Magic which would be fine if he didn't then progress to biting his ears! Poor Magic growls for as long as he can be bothered before putting him in his place.

Welcome David. Would you believe that I too originate from Dundee (Barnhill to be precise) but have lived in glasgow for 20+ years so I am an honorary Weegie now. It's a small world eh?

All your cats are stunning. I love Magic's colour, red silver will be on my future wish list. Kora's eyes are a gorgeous colour and as for harris, what can you say except Awww, whit a bonny laddie!
