Everyone hereabouts seems to have a puppy at present. This morning our neighbour's gigantic labradoodle (6 months) encountered someone else's Jack Russell (13 weeks).A bit of sniffing and nose rubbing was swiftly followed by an attempt by Rocco to eat Milly. I think Rocco saw the smaller creature as a sort of animated snack eeek:
It was all very noisy.Dogs are surpisingly strong when thus excited.
And Mrs Nick has said that we might be able to get a new cat soon.I am making enquiries about one of these:

It's a KITTEN!!
The Maine Coon is a large semi-longhair cat. It is somewhat rectangular in appearance – a heavy and solidly build cat, which is musculare and powerful. The coat is full during the colder months, with a very large neck ruff and a heavy, water resistant coat on the body, together with a well-plumed tail. During the warmer months the Maine Coon loses most of its long coat and can almost look shorthaired, with just a slightly fluffy tail. The head is of medium length and square looking. The ears are large and pointed with tufts on the tips, while the eyes are round and set well apart. The legs are in proportion to the body and are thickset. The neck is substantial, with many Maine Coons being far to wide around the neck for any collar intended for pet cats to fit them. The tail is long.
An adult male Maine Coon can weigh as much as 10 to 15kg the females are much smaller.
Temperament:
The Maine Coon can best be described as a dog like cat. Not only are Maine Coons the size of a small dog but also it is a cat that loves to follow its owner around and will happily play-retrieving games. Maine Coons are a friendly and outgoing cat sometimes referred to as the "Gentle Giant" of the cat world.

Breeding can be very fulfilling, but also has disadvantages which should be taken into consideration when thinking about buying a kitten so that you can breed your own. A mature queen can 'call' every three weeks, and is not fussy about who her partner is. For this reason, she must be carefully monitored and not allowed out to become friendly with the local tom, otherwise unwanted non-pedigree kittens may result. A 'mature' stud cat will almost certainly have to live in a specially designed house outside, since the vast majority mark their territory by spraying and this is unacceptable is most households. The life of a stud cat can be rather lonely and frustrating , especially if he does not have a regular supply of amorous females.
