Adopting another cat and will be another Maine Koon.A friend of mine told me about one,she rescued recently and knows Garfield very well.A female named Bella.Bella is 2 years old and has grown to be attached to me as well.She is a sweetheart.My friend Hailey says I am fit for her.She rescued her from a couple that had a hard time taking care of her.Has not been fixed,Hailey has scheduled for her to get fixed at the vet's office so she cannot have kittens.Hailey said she is mine after this is done.I have a huge heart for the Maine Koons called gentle giants a lot

This is awesome. You have all the things you'll need like another litterbox, and a little bit of extra money you can set aside for vet expenses down the road?

Goodness.. will she be spayed and brought straight to you? That's a lot for a cat to go through.
You will need to keep them separate for some time, firstly while she heals and then to do introductions.

You mean you took your cat over to your friend's house to see the cat she had rescued? Wow, how did that go?

We'd love to see some pictures of your cats.

:heartshape:

It's incredibly rare to have a cat that doesn't mind cars and meeting new cats in strange places!
I taught him well,say the word ride.Maine Koons think they are like dogs,Garfield thinks this way

Well, you do have some very unique cats. Is Garfield camera shy too? I guess not if he's been trained to respond to vocal commands and loves car rides. You can probably tell him "Pose" and he'll do something adorable.
:catman:

I hope we can see some pictures of Bella and Garfield soon.

I said car ride to Garfield one day and loved hearing that
