Just got this little guy, I was thinking. Of calling him Beef, but the more I say it, the more I think he’s not a Beef. I would LOVE some ideas 💕💕

Usually Maine coon cats are a lot bigger than this and they have a lot of hair around the chest pointy ears etc my friend thought his cat was a Maine coon for years untill one day I questioned it and he found it it intact was not a Maine coon just resembled one

You maybe right. Although this lady I know has always had cats said it was , Because my cat doesn’t shut up talking she’s always given it to someone or something. She warns the birds to keep out of the garden.

That’s brilliant but that’s just typical cat behaviour 😂 my 2 dogs passed away in January and my cat passed 3 years ago I had no pet in the house and it felt weird my mums cat had kittens and I decided I needed one I chose one but then the little tuxedo cat seemed to have chose me so I couldn’t say no I now have a little kitten running around and I’ve never seen a cat with her temperament she also doesn’t really meow but she chirps like the “I go meow” cat she climbs door frames sleeps ontop of doors she climbs me she sits on my shoulder I can take her out and she will just sit on my shoulder the whole time I can take her in the car and again she just sits on my shoulder she feels like a mixture between my dog that just passed a cat and parrot my point is the breed of cat doesn’t determine the temperament, I mean that’s your fur baby no matter what the breed does not matter but if your ever curious you might wanna get her checked

The woman that had her when she was born had a dog. She kept the dog gave away the cat . Coco has picked up dog characteristics. She used to pickup a foil ball in her mouth and hide them like a dog burying a bone.
