He's calling her Clover.

Has to be his girlfriend's doing.
He's been a dog guy since he can remember things.

Thought about getting Maine coon earlier when saw this on Instagram. but when I realized they don't all grow up having this daunting look.
I'm searching for munchkins or Scottish kilts instead. A rather polarized choice😂

I told my Son these cats do get big, but Clover has a good face.

I have and had no luck.
Simply like round faces and big eyes.
Scottish fold, munchkins, tabby or Scottish kilts would be nice. But they rarely show up in rescue shelters and legit breeders are difficult to find as well...

they are the largest domestic cat breed so to speak, and as long as your son don't mind and loves it, I'm sure it'll work out! Clover's got a much cuter face than the one I posted for sure lol

Had to be his girlfriend’s idea.
My Son has always been around very good sized dogs. He’s a very social, personable fellow so I have no doubt he’ll got on with the cat. Will take a bit of adjustment.

Hahah and he'll get a pretty good size cat in time. Nothing wrong with cats or dogs as long as you're loving them (:
Though it does get complicated when couples get a pet and then break up *touchwood
They probably end up elsewhere....

He wouldn’t compromise his pet.

He’ll being a lot nicer than she’ll be...

I may have written sparsely with my own self understanding.

That is what I meant.
I do believe you had received it that way...

The way I received it is your son will be nicer to the furry friend Clover (than his gf) no? xD

Yes, same page we are.
He’s a good fellow and will take care of his pet.

Ours looks similar......but he is old so some of the "majesty" is gone. But even at 18...he goes about his day as usual. And once a week or so...he has these outbursts where he goes crazy running around the house.

You can hear him from anywhere.

Getting his cardio in I suppose.

I need to find a pic of one of the other cats we had that lived almost to 20 before passing. Solid black...and huge. If I can find it, I will post it up. He's in my daughter's lap beside the small dog we had that died at 19.

But it shows the scale in size!

For scale...the dog weighed 21 lbs.

It's not mine, but I'd love to have one that looks like this, simply love how majestic they look. I heard this particular Maine coon is popular on social media because of its looks.
But I guess you won't know until they grow in full size right?
Hehehe some cardio is always good, even for our furry friends!

Ahhh its so difficult to find Scottish kilt/munchkins...breeders some how all located in east coast
Is it unusual for breeders to have young/adult ones instead of kittens?

He mentioned his daughter was married, I recall.

Regarding Maine Coon sizing, here you are: https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/show...5#post23774305, https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/show...2#post24579132.

I believe Now_Rudi has shared his own dimensions (to compare) around too (Not for girls! ).

You can find Maine Coon breeders probably a lot easier than the breed your looking for if you like them. The parents typically represent what the kittens will look like.

My daughter has a Norwegian forest cat. Oddly enough, the only breeder we found was on the east coast in NC. But we only lived a few hours from the place.

We also have Norwegian Elk Hounds. The two we have came from my BIL who breeds them.

Then we have the Mini-Schanauzer in the house.

Let me guess. The mini-Schanauzer rules the herd?

It's true....he herds the cat in the house. Patrols the dogs in the back yard through the windows.

It's hilarious to watch!
