@Jools I absolutely love your Maine Coon. He's impressive, majestic even. 

14 kg you say. That's really big even for a Maine Coon. Is that ideal weight for him?

There is some dispute among breeders whether Maine Coon or Bengal Cat is the largest cat race. My mother's Bengal is only 8 kg, but size and weight does vary a lot for both races.

I've always wanted a Maine Coon, but never had one, but i think i will get one at some point. Feels like one of the eighteen cats who shared my home in my life one of them should've been a Maine Coon.

As far as i know no one really knows what the origin of the Maine Coon race is, but the most popular theory is that they're descended from Norwegian Forest Cats brought over to America by Norsemen who mated with short hair cats. Which i think is cool since as you can see above one of my cats is a Norwegian Forest Cat. Certainly those two races are the ones who most resemble each other.

The Norwegian and the Maine coon are the two largest domesticated cats. 14kg is fine and he is still not fully grown. He has been checked for HCM and is free of it so is a big healthy boy. I would not be without one or a few Maine coons in my life as they are natural comedians and will always cheer you up. I honestly wouldn't want to be without my feline friends. I've never seen a really big Bengal. My friends is 9kg full grown and considered very big for the breed. 

I am in hospital and awaiting discharge today. Just waiting on meds and letters. I can't wait to see my cats 

 
i bet they missed u to dude, i go out for an hour an the dogs act like they been left for months haha. always a happy pair of faces though

Thought i would also post my mother's cat too. A Bengal Cat called Pardalis, as he looks a little bit like a grey Ocelot (whose latin name is Leopardus Pardalis). I'm thinking about getting one myself since they're fantastic cats. Not only do they look amazing, but they have great personalities (which is more important to me than appearance). That is if you like very active, intelligent, attention-seeking cats, which i do. Pardalis loves to turn on the faucets in my mother's sinks to play with the water and opens the front door when people knock on it.

Been in contact with a Bengal Cat breeder and she's very strict about who she sells to, but she's ready now to sell me a kitten who is super-cute and likely to become very large as both her parents are (they're generally very large cats). Haven't decided yet tho, because firstly it costs 2500 dollars and secondly they're fiercely territorial, which may cause problems with my two other cats and my two dogs. Especially the dogs may get it rough.

Post got a bit longer than planned, but i finally get to the picture of Pardalis.

I maybe be mixing my breeds up. A bengal in U.K. Is not a big cat per se and are mainly brown here with lovely rosette markings. There are new Asian leopard cats and new Asian bengal cats and I wonder if these are being mixed up in my head. A UK show class bengal would cost around £450-600 pounds sterling here. The cat fancy people will travel all over the world to buy cats. Bengals are very vocal too. I love vocal cats. The Maine coons chirrup and make such funny sounds. They really do talk with you.

It's possible you're not mixing up you're breeds. What i do know is that Bengal Cats are relatively new and that they were imported early to sweden were both my mother's cat and the one i'm considering buying is from. They're very early generation which makes them, among other things, very rare these days (as early generation bengal cats who still breed are dying out), very expensive, and quite a bit larger than the average bengal. The picture of pardalis here is also a less common colour for bengals. Most common is as you describe them.

I've personally seen several enormous bengals, but they've all been early generation. And i think not mixed with Egyptian Mau which made them smaller. There are different strains? if that's what you call it, with different characteristics.

"Enormous Bengals?" That's the first time I've heard them called that. ;)

I smoke too they don't seem to have picked up the bad habit from me yet. Garden only though.x

That's sensible. When I move (Hopefully) I will either stop, or do it outside. I live with my ex and he smokes heavily, so it wouldn't be fair on the puss. ?

 
Understandable I have two cats but I'm not a heavy smoker 5-10 a day. I don't drink (health & career reasons) so we all need some little vices.

That's true. but sex would be my chosen vice - less damaging! 

 
Ha! Well played. Yeah that is essentially my aim too I'm not that bothered about the smoking..I know bizarre given my background but maybe perhaps in the future I will stop both but both are very small quantities and given what I've been through in the last wee while I'm using that as justification.

"Wee" how Scottish! Then Geordie has many similarities with Scottish dialect: "Toon" and other words with elongated vowels, especially. (I studied English Language, sue me ?) 

It's good that you don't do either to a large extent. I am just curious to see how much better I'd feel. (After the crappy feelings, obviously)

 
I am Auntie to 5 house rabbits! I am their bunnysitter so I spend a lot of time with them even though they live with my brother and sister-in-law. Whenever they go away or if they are working long hours I stay at their house and look after the bunnies. I love them like family members.

  11. PlanetExpress @ PlanetExpress: @brofessormd this isn't even the first time we've seen this whole setup go through this mess. There seems to be some sort of pattern here; every time stuff gets rocky with shipments, missed deliveries, or a pile of refund requests, it always cycles back around. Honestly, watching this routine play out since 2021 has been wild. Just something to keep in mind when making plans.
  12. P @ piratepenguin: So they are pink hello kittys. Ya I'll test but probably won't take them at all
  13. DutchRCshop @ DutchRCshop: @piratepenguin Dont take without testing! Probably amfetamine or XTC. Small chance its something else but still, how tf you get random pills in the mail lol
  14. moai @ moai: @piratepenguin probably xtc or similar but don’t take it without testing it. I would definitely test them, could really be anything.
  15. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: had “confirmed” this. Just this morning someone claimed “Just so you guys know, there is someone else that's taking over and is going to take care of all that was left behind. But I would be patient please“. I would take this all with a grain of salt though, anything is possible, and I don’t want to be spreading rumors
  16. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @CalFresh @brofessormd @intrnt Yes time will tell, I do believe the timing was a little sus as well, people in his signal group were mentioning heart failure, and that people closer to him had to confirmed this
  17. P @ piratepenguin: Just got some random cat head shaped pink pills at the post. I didn't order. Pink cat head with two plugs on the other side. Anyone know what they are?
  18. B @ brofessormd: Slightly sus that Rhodi pastebin was taken down at the exact same time of his friends announcement of his death 🤔
  19. I @ intrnt: @CalFresh time will tell, it's always easy for a Vendor to exit and come by with a new handle.
  20. CalFresh @ CalFresh: @st1ckyf1ng4z what happened to Rhodium?
