Thread: I'm such a sucker for these guys...

Good luck in your search,some furry is going to land on his paws & get spoilt....

Good luck, Kari - now my two have settled down, it's so great having two of them; most amusing watching them playing together. Keep us posted!

Wow, that was quick! Welcome to the ranks of us Coonaholics.
Then again, Coonies usually come in pairs... or threes... or fours. I don't know many people who could stop at just the one ... none at all, come to think of it.

I wish you good luck in finding your second furry. Keep in mind that rescue cats can have emotional baggage and/or have been badly socialized... if at all. But I am sure that, if you choose wisely and carefully, you're bound to find the perfect buddy for King Edmund.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet don't stop

I hear you! Edmund himself was in an abusive situation until 6 weeks old and then in a pet orphanage until I got him at 4 months... and he's fantastic! (It's really sad because several of the other kittens that were rescued from the same house had broken tails because people were so mean )
I do know Edmund is fortunate, and perhaps rare, to not act as though he was affected much by his bad childhood. Also having had some pretty hard things in my own childhood I'm a softy for all abused kids both human and animals.

Oh dear, it is truly disgusting the way some 'people' treat the defenseless ones who trust them and are dependant on them.
Makes you want to weep, doesn't it?

Fortunately there are people like you sticking up for them... don't stop being a softie, Heaven knows we need softies.

I will admit i've always been a dog person more than a cat one but due to being at work all day and the OH had had cats at home we had our two (a house is not a home without a four legged furry). Being a softy I insisted on two so we got our babies as I did not want one to be lonely in the day!

I can totally understand your new addiction as they are such entertaining company although when they start chasing each other around I think we had two hippos not cats

LOL, we started with one and our second Coonie came along only 2 months later!!! Hubby was upset that Gracie is a mummy's girl and wanted another one (allegedly as company for Gracie) - thankfully Monty has turned out to be a proper Daddy's boy as I'm not sure I could have stopped him at two kitties otherwise!!!

Awww, I love hearing about everyone's cats.
Just to note, I have had my Edmund for 2 months at this point. I had thought about getting another cat, but didn't want just ANY cat, I wanted one like Edmund... so that's why this forum has made me want another especially bad because I've realized that it's not a fluke to find a nice personality in a Maine Coon!
