We just adopted these 2 cuties last Saturday. Maine Coon kittens!
Meet Smokie
And the Bandit!
Not from the same litter and he is about 3-1/2 weeks younger than Smokie.
And… it is my purpose in life to be cat furniture!

We were down to one tiny orange cat and she of course hissed at the kittens for the first 5 days. Bandit is all-boy - went right up to Leah-Leah and went nose-to nose with her. She was good and didn’t swat at him. Today he jumped up on the bed to eat and she just watched him - no hissing. We are feeding the kittens on the bed because of our 95-lb dog.
We boarded Ella to go get the kittens in Alabama and left her there until yesterday so the kittens could get used to their new home. I wish dogs were as easy to potty train as kittens! Took forever to get Ella potty trained. I set both kittens in the litter box, moved their paws in the litter. Done. No accidents.
Ella grew up with our other Maine Coon and she LOVED Katy! But the kittens are so small and Ella came in the yurt one day with a rat in her mouth she had shaked until it was dead and it was about the same size as the kittens. We didn’t know how Ella would react but the kittens had their smell all over the house (and in Ella’s bed LOL). I put them in the cat carrier and let Ella sniff them. She wagged her tail and grinned! She was so happy.
The kittens hissed and spit and arched their backs and I don’t blame them. I am so proud of Ella - she has been gentle and kept her distance so eventually the kittens will figure out she isn’t going to hurt them. Ella has never gotten along with Leah-Leah - lunges and growls at her but has never hurt her. But she must associate these kittens with Katy and we are so thankful. You never know how animals are going to react. It’s going to be all good.

This is Max. We adopted him February 2023 when he was 10. He’s a polydactyl, but just barely, his extra toes are dewclaws on the rear. His front dewclaws actually touch the floor giving his front feet a wider appearance. He’s got a cute trait, if you stop petting him before he’s ready he reaches out and pats your hand with a paw, no claws.
