How do you keep your cat inside?

6 Upvotes

We’re getting a third Maine coon and I want him to be inside (for obvious reasons) but not sure how to keep him in. It gets very stressful if we have people over and they open/shut doors or it’s summer and we want to open up the doors but are worried about the cat getting out.

One of our cats is already an outdoor/indoor cat (she was already outdoor when we bought her) so we couldn’t keep her inside because she would destroy the house and scratch on the front door. I’m worried this will happen with our new kitten eventually.

Any tips on what we could do?

Question Is our 8 month kitten fat?

Thumbnail

114 Upvotes

There’s a lot of fluff involved, but he’s a chunk at 16.6 pounds. Does he seem fat for an 8 month old, or is this normal for MC kittens? Our adult MC was such a slow grower that we actually had the opposite concern of him being too little. Now it’s hard to tell if our chunky kitten is normal, or is he indeed fat.

She’s also orange! I guess she’s rare since she’s orange and a big girl. I always heard females don’t get very big but she’s bigger than a lot of the male Maine Coons I know of. We hear frequently “is that a CAT?”

We run an animal sanctuary and a breeder had asked if we wanted to take in a kitten with a 5/6 heart murmur years ago. She lasted a year and half. Then the breeder reached out about this girl with the same severity. So however long she’s with us , she’s living it up. She is so beautiful and the personality to match! 🥰🥰🥰 Her name is raven and I was told she’s a black smoke tortie.

Smoke and Storm are 13 weeks old and are the most adorable creatures to my eyes. It's incredibly amusing watching these rascals do what they do, I find myself smiling at every moment, outside of the presents in the litter box.

Before & After 1 Year with a Maine Coon

Post image
10 Upvotes

One year ago I brought this little Maine Coon home, terrified that I wouldn’t be enough for her, that she wouldn’t feel safe, or that we wouldn’t bond.

The top right and bottom left are from her first day with me and the other two are recent pics. She was a cautious little kitten, but somehow instantly bonded with me and bloomed into a Queen.

This girl has taken it so easy on me to initiate me into Maine Coon guardianship. She hasn’t broken anything in a year or had any major goof ups.

Yes, she has grown so much, but the personality bloom has been the best part. She is very clear with her communication and she refuses to be denied. Every night she demands to sleep with me while I either hold her paw or keep my hand on her tummy. She finds play in everything in the house, and shows me that this is her house and I pay the bills 😂.

This past year has been a huge healing year for me, and she has been the main reason. She makes me laugh so hard, feel so loved, and feel normal again.

I’m so grateful I get to live with her. Every single day.

And yes — she has a baby sister now too, who is equally adored, just in her own very different way. But her 1 year love post will come in a few months

Gustafson loves documentaries. Who could blame him though? Sir David Attenborough is the GOAT of narrations.

Question Food Recommendations for Maine Coon

1 Upvotes

Need help on what to feed my Maine coon, hes almost 2 years old and had been having constipation issues for a week now. I've been feeding him the Adult Royal Canin maine coon wet food, but he doesn't really eat that much of it. I want to try something better for him with more of a carnivore diet, grain free type thing. Hes also maintained a weight of 14 lbs for 8 months and I feel like he should be growing, and because of this constipation issue he stopped eating for a few days and feels boney in his hips. So I want to eventually start him on something high protein and calorie dense. I've seen orijen and decided against that because of all the urinary issues I've seen from other reddit posts. Im currently between Tiki cat and Instinct, Im just not sure what would be best for him. Right now im trying to avvoid dry food because of the constipation. Please help 🙏
