I'm getting impatient....

For Gryfn to be old enough to come home...

For DH to net the cat run so I can finish setting it all up.....

mainly I just want my little maine coon kitty..... to cuddle and hold and be all mine.... :nod:

I'm waiting to hear back from the breeder on when he will be ready to come home....
:sad1::sad1::sad1::sad1::sad1::sad1:

sorry... just needed to whine... I'm getting so impatient and I know it's at least another 4 weeks but I keep looking at all these pictures on the net and I want my boy....maybe I should stop looking and drooling...:drool1:

Aww, I know the feeling I had a long wait too, but I did have Christmas in between so that made it seem shorter because there was lots to do.bvghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh=--- -- sorry ! Harry !! - Enjoy the time you have left being able to type on your computer without interruptions. Since writing this, he has walked across the keyboard, and stuck his foot in my cup of tea which is now up the wall. I think he needs my attention ????

Oh wow! I'm looking for my perfect kitty, not easy after having the lovely Fudge but can't be without an MC now!! I'm enjoying looking but OMG I can't wait to get one home!!!!!!

Hi - I am also waiting for my little treasure Zack to arrive and am also impatient so I know how you feel. Maybe we can count down together - Ok = 4 weeks to go!!!!!

I have taken note of the idea to enjoy life without a kitten while we wait so I will sit here and type uninterrupted until then and drink my full cup of tea!!!!!

I know I have to be patient.... *sigh*.... :rofl:

meantime I will try to enjoy life without a little furball running off with my pens, hanging up my phones, helping me type on the puter and tasting my drinks for me... :rofl:

I'm just impatient cause I haven't had any photos this week....

Has you MC called her breeder - Mine has -

I got a call from the breeder wondering what the problem was because they got a call with no message from my number on a saturday night - I was in fact out!!!!

The only explanation is that Sarah must have walked over the phone and as they were the last number I called somehow managed to phone them - I had left the phone on my desk face up ( never again)

ps - I havnt got photos for this week either and have been checking my emails - are we mad!!

No heather... :rofl:
I just heard from the breeder... Gryfn had his second lot of needles last week and he will get the last lot when he is 12 weeks and get desexed and microchipped.
Unfortunately that is Easter week and dh wants to go camping so I'm going to have to wait until the week AFTER easter.... :sad:

oh... and she's trying to get photos, but the kittens won't stay still! :rofl:

I havnt got a definite date of arrival yet but was initially told easter - I have not made any plans for easter yet just in case.

Put you photos up when you get them - would love to see him.

The waiting is certainly the pits!
Like Harrymc we had Christmas and the snowiest and coldest January I have ever seen - so that distracted us whilst we awaited the new arrival.
The regular updates by Winston's breeder were very welcome too! :smile:

Hi Toni.
I'm hoping to meet a Maine Coon boy kitten also and re your comment "I should stop looking and drooling", I can only suggest the opposite. Focused research of the Coon breed has to be in everyone's best interest. As interesting sites appear on my display and, to help consolidate my learning, I've compiled a list of Coon links which you may find interesting to read. I will continually add to this site as my journey evolves. Follow the link and click the icons therein to view:

thanks for that roy... and yes.. I've done a lot of research....

I work out that I will get gryfn in 4 weeks....

I just uploaded my latest pic of gryfn into the gallery... it's not very good, but its still cute! :rofl:

And tonight I got through to dh to get the cat run done, so he priced the materials and we've decided to put a proper roof on as it's cheaper... which is exactly what I wanted!!! :winkwink:

You wont know yourself with a cat run. I have a 14m by 3m run on the side of my house and they are always out there catching bugs and rolling in the dirt etc. Also means I dont have to change trays - I do have 2 out there but they are never used ( just in case the ground gets too wet)

Downside - Sarah manages to get slugs caught in her fur and jumps on my lap and goes to sleep - slugs slide off and go down my leg - Yuck!!

Just saw his photo - doesnt he look like a big cat now!!!

he looks big... I wish I could go see him... :(

the run will start off being 8m x 2m downt he side of the house, but dh want's to extend it another 4 metres or so to the water tank.

Sounds perfect. I have a fernery in mine and they can lie under the plants and play hide and seek. Luckily goes off my laundry and I have a small dog door always open. One of my old cats was large ( 11kg) so luckily had a bigger door put in for her. I am getting some wooden shelves etc put in in the next couple of week so they can lie around above the ground.

sounds exactly like what I've got heather. It was the shadehouse so it's full of ferns and other plants and there was an aviary in there so I've woodchipped the bottom of that and dh doesn't want to move the front of it, so that will be there in case I have to separate cats at all.
I'm woodchipping the garden, so that hopefully they won't dig in it, but it's not going to worry me either way.

I'm also putting up shelves and making hammocks with shadecloth and hanging them.

How do you make a hammock? Are they strong enough to carry the weight? What do you have them tied to?

I still have to make them, but we've got some old shadecloth at the top of the shadehouse that has to be cut off so I'm going to use that.
I'm still trying to work out exactly what I'm going to do, but I'm going to fold a piece in half, then into a triangle and using a cord sew a hook or something on each corner and hang it off the corners and if I hang them at the right points it should be strong enough.
I found a metal frame down the back and using cord sewed a double length of shadecloth into the top and our moggie was very happy to curl up in it.
the reason the shadecloth at the top of the shadehouse has to come down is the cats have loved climbing up there and sleeping in it so that gave me the idea.
