My 3 year old Maine Coon Regent had to go to an urgent clinic yesterday for his anal glands. We are both working long hours and packing for a move, so when he started acting strange, we figured he was angry about being ignored. Yesterday he was very lethargic, and then we caught him scooting his...

Starting this thread as kind of a diary and a place to ask for advice while my family moves into a new place across town. Here are the basics of the story: We have one cat, a three-year-old Maine Coon who came to live with us after being rescued from abuse/near death He's been living with us...

Our rescue is believed to be about three years old. Whoever had him from birth clearly gave him nothing but dry kibbles, and of course his month at the shelter was surviving on whatever cheap food they had. So Regent has grown up convinced that dry kibbles are the only valid form of food. The...

My Regent is a 3-year-old Maine coon. We rescued him on the side of the road last summer, and he's been living with us since September. He has always spent the night with us upstairs, usually dozing at the foot of our bed or patrolling to check things out and then come right back. He is usually...

Our Maine coon named Regent prefers to be around humans 24/7. When he first came home, our master suite was his safe room, so that just became the default that he slept with us every night. He refuses to spend the night downstairs. He is very well behaved, but he is still a cat, so that means...

My 3-year-old Maine coon is very large and athletic. He enjoys running up and down our stairs to burn energy. We play with fishing pole toys a lot, and to him it's like basketball. He enjoys jumping onto the bed or the couch to chase it down. To him, these games are so much fun that he wants to...

When he first moved in, he would barely let us pet around his ears. He is slowly starting to trust us more; now he gets belly rubs, and he will even sit on my lap for a minute to get attention. But, he won't let me hold him, and he doesn't like his paws touched. Tonight while playing with a...

When I tell people the story of how we met Regent, they always find it moving. That got me wondering what other interesting, untold stories may be out there.

I have a 3 year old rescue Maine coon from a traumatic background. When we first got him, he was sad all the time, and it took several days before he even responded to tickles. We got a few toys he has recently taken to (fishing pole and laser point), and now that he is happy, he wants to play a...

Regent lived at the shelter for about a month and always ate dry kibbles. Since they don't know who dumped him, there's no way to know his diet before then. When we brought him home, were encouraged to get him Cat Chow as a harmless/familiar food choice he would quickly take to. He seems to like...

Regent is a three year old Maine coon who was dumped in the woods around Regent University and left for dead. Long story short, we brought him home. The safe room bonding went quickly since he remembered us from the rescue; he jumped on the bed with us and even ate/pottyied in no time. He even...

Hello everyone, We never owned a pet in the nine years that we've been married. Then we found an injured cat someone abandoned, we totally fell in love with him, and voila, one month later, we brought him home from the shelter. At this moment, our new arrival has made himself at home under the...
