Introducing the cats

Hi, nice to find this forum and pleased to introduce Django and Oscar - our two Maine Coons.

Django is a classic red tabby, very athletic in build and capable of being both feisty and affectionate. He's the boss and keeps his half brother Oscar in line in between hunting whatever doesn't move fast enough and which includes mice, shrews, rats, rabbits, birds and lizards. He was our first Maine Coon, but we soon decided to get another as we'd been told that they're better in pairs...

So, we got Oscar. Oscar's the opposite to Django in many ways. He's extremely affectionate and sweet natured, although he's a giant at 11.5 kilos. The vets here love him and when we have to make a visit they always call people to look at the 'big English cat'. He's a silver tabby. As a hunter he's nowhere near as good as Django but he does catch the odd lizard and occasional rodent. He once tried to get a snake but we 'discouraged' him!

Welcome to MCF! :-)

What handsome lads you have! It is so funny how they have personalities that are so different! I have a 6 month old named "Ginger" and you can tell by looking at her why she was named that! She is a feisty little bundle of fur. She has not started hunting yet, but she will be an indoors kitty, so no birds or bunnies for this girl. Welcome to MCF !

hi there! heyyyyy you live in France! I live in the UK but I am French - actually from Normandy which is not very far from where you are...

:welcome:


I also would like to get another cat, to keep my Neevie occupied... Husband is a tyrant who will not have it, as "this one is trouble enough." :wink:

Attachment 6866Hi my name is Claire and this is baby Aslan who we are bringing home next Sunday. Pleased to meet you all

What lovely cats you have, welcome (im a newbie to ! lol) Django is an unusual name where did that come from ? Oscar is definately a whopper I bet you feel him on your knee when he cuddles in !

Welcome also Claire!!!

Chris, I'm a retired pro guitarist and Django Reinhardt is one of my guitar idols. There's also another guitarist I like called Oscar Aleman so we named our two chaps after the two players. The names seem to suit them very well!

Oscar doesn't tend to cuddle in - that's more Django's trick. Oscar's more of a 'lie at your feet and roll on his back' type cat!

Hi & welcome to you & Aslan,looking forward to hearing more about your babe,not long to wait now....xxx

Sorry Django & Oscar your thread seems to have been hijacked in the middle so a very big welcome to you too,blimey Oscar I thought my boy big enough at 10.5kgs it sure feels enough when he curls up on your lap so good luck to your slaves.....
We are off to France for the first time this year to stay with a forum member,can't believe where this forum has either taken or about to take us too & all through the luv of MC cats......x
