    new to maine coons

    hello im a feline lover and ive had alot of cats in my life but a few things i dont know about my new little kitten, My friends found her as a stray on their front porch and wanted to give me a cat. I always have attracted cats in my life and love felines no matter what breed.

    When i got her everyone has said that she is a Maine Coon so i started to look up her breed and got a few pointers on her. She's beautiful and is grey and white, she's a talker and verry active. I looked up on wiki about Maine Coons and it said that they are talkers and that they are good hunters.

    My main questions are that she always has to headbutt me when ever i sit down and she follows me from room to room is that normal???

    She uses the litter box since i have brought her home but from day one she hasen't covered her poo, how can i teach her to cover her poo so my appartment dont stink like cat kaka.....

    thanks - kilroy

    I did name her and its Zenorah kitty

    Congratulations! Yes MC cats are dogs, but improved. They need more attention than the average cat.

    Maybe she doesn't like the litter you bought? We've changed litter since we got our two. The boy wasn't covering his poo in the beginning, but the girl was. Now it seems that the boy has started covering his, so all is well. Perhaps it's just a matter of time, or maybe she would prefer a different brand of litter. Also, we changed to one that has activated charcoal in it, which should absorb some of the smell.

    Our boy Whiskey doesn't cover his poo. He flies out of his box like a bat out of hell when he leaves a real stink bomb behind. We've tried different size boxes, covered & uncovered, and different litters. Nothing seemed to matter. So we settled on natural pine. It works great at absorbing the smell too.

    We use the wood litter which my two love to use and it absorbs smells very effectively
