Maine Coon Look-Alike

Greetings--My name is Cisco and I'm pleased to be a Maine Coon Copycat.

I've got my people well trained. Ma knows exactly when to give me my treat. I expect my tasty dish of Gourmet cat food as soon as she gets home from work--can you believe, she only gives me a quarter of a can per day? Of course, I don't live on that small ration.

My regular food is dry cat food--I tolerate it 'cause that's all I get to survive on--I don't have the luxury of being finicky. But I sure look forward to Ma coming home each afternoon. I greet her at the door (I'm part dog), and follow her around and talk to her until she gives me my treat.

When she first started giving me my small portion of Fancy Feast, she gave it to me when she woke up in the morning. I don't understand why she stopped doing that--it was great to have a treat bright and early in the morning...after all I was a perfect alarm clock.

I get treats from Pa too. Where ever I am in the house, whether sleeping or window watching, I tune in to his psyche every time he even thinks about opening a can of tuna fish. I'll appear just in time for him to pour the tuna water into a bowl for me. I like water, but that tuna water is something special.

I have a "poverty phobia" and I try not to completely empty my bowl of dry cat food. If I'm hungry, and there are only a few morsels left, I'll stare at the bowl and wait for it to be filled before I eat any more.

Whenever Ma and Pa get into a discussion, I want to be part of the conversation. I'll get between them and start talking. I love talking any time my people talk to me and I usually get the last word.

I also like talking to the birds and other cats that venture into my yard. I enjoy my freedom to go in and out whenever I feel like it. I have a cat door into the backyard. Often I like to go out to the front yard and Ma and Pa let me exit through their front door. If they forget to let me back in, I simply climb the fence to the backyard and through my cat door. I'm happy just being in my own yard and have no interest in venturing beyond my domain.

I am a well adjusted, content and happy cat.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to visit my new lens, Cat-Toys-Etc that I recently created for Christmas. I picked out my favorites in cat toys, cat trees and cat tunnels.
