Self-indulgent pet thread

The boys on Friday, getting more enjoyment out of demolishing a paper bag than most think is possible!

Do you suffer with the same fluff issues around the house that I do?

Also what is the thing in the last two pics?

Cat fur? Oddly enough, not as bad as with Herbie who was an ordinary ginger tom short hair. I don't think Maine Coon's moult as bad as other long hairs. Also, I took the wonderful advice from here and got a Furminator http://www.furminator.com/ which pulls out LOADS of loose hair.

I put treats in the "treat tower" rather than her ordinary dry food (although might resort to that if she starts getting tubby or something.)

Wow, they seem to be growing very fast. Those expressions are priceless. I think you've got a handful, uh, on your hands! :)
They are actually still very tiny indeed but I'm sure they are growing - I assume the enormous quantities of food they scoff are going somewhere :D I should weigh them really because I know how much they weighed when I brought them home

When we got the puppy I weighed him regularly because I was completely paranoid about whether he was putting on weight. : o
When he first came he fitted on my kitchen scales he was so small.

I WANT A PUPPY!

MCs aren't known for massive moults or leaving fur everywhere - and even when they do it can be easier to remove long hairs from surfaces! My Ori boys (ultra-shorthairs) don't noticeably leave hairs around the place either, but my mostly white Moggy x CRex cross is a nightmare, he is mostly comprised of wafty crinkly undercoat hairs (CRex have no guard-hairs, and he seems to have inherited that from his mother) and he only has to be in contact with something for a microsecond for it to be utterly covered in hair.
 
Have you told him that he'll grow into his tail?

:p

People said that my Radar would grow into his ears and his name would no longer be appropriate (radar dishes being the first thing that came to mind when I first saw him) - never happened, he's now over 7 and they are still fucking massive. :D
