Help!!

my baby girl just got spayed and she hates her collar, will rip it off within the hour. her pain meds dont seem to do the job after a few hours and i obviously wont give her more than the vet told us to. is there any tips i should know? ive made her loads of spots where she can nap comfortably and her brother isnt chasing her around as i think he sees shes in pain. she keeps wriggling around and going to lick her wound but we keep an eye on her so she doesnt get to it. i feel so bad for her😔 it breaks my heart…. she doesnt want to be touched anywhere near her wound, doesnt want to be held or in close contact with anyone besides cheek rubs🙁

Who has the smallest maine coon?

My boy is older than 3 years now so I don' expect him to grow more. He (gray one) fluctuates between 3.8 and 4.0 kg. He is from an official breeder and has a family tree and certificate. The orange cream one is 6.2 kg and family wise his uncle.

Is my cat a black or silver tortie?

I’m really bad at distinguishing the color types. Sometimes I look at her and she seems to have majority silver undercoat, and other times she seems to be majority black (especially because her face and limbs are dark). She was much darker as a kitten and has since gotten much more silver and cream, especially on her belly and sides.

What the heck is she now(besides a perfect angel)?

They’re like potato chips. You can never have just one.

Brought home this trio on Friday. Was originally only taking two, but the cameo girl was so pretty and playful with the other two so I figured why not? Everyone, meet Delilah, Dino, and Daisy!

WHICH ONE!?!

Posted yesterday and a bunch of you guys encouraged me to get another MC, so, here I am, getting another MC.

Of the first two pics, which one should I get? Unfortunately I won’t be able to meet them before I choose. I don’t know. If any of your babies looked similar, I’d love to see what they look like grown up!

Last two pics are my current babies (one black DLH and one orange MC!)

Black or Black Smoke?

Photos from most recent to oldest.

For context, he’s neutered, I have no interest in breeding him, purely curious.

He has a few white hairs under his chin. He was fully black as a kitten, his tummy is now grey (starting at the roots) and he has lots of rust throughout.

He’s purebred 20 months old.
Mum was black and dad was ginger I believe.
His TICA registration from his breeder says Black.

If'n I Fits I Ships!

I still have no idea how he crammed his big a$$ in such a little box, but here we are 🤦‍♂️

And I still haven't figured out where he wants to go 🤔

Last pic is for size reference. He weighs, as of yesterday, 20.5 pounds at just under 2 years old!

Why are they so weird? 🤣

He’ll jump if there’s a loud bang but apparently it’s perfectly acceptable to switch the electric piano and metronome on and just sit there, composing 😂

breeder recs for quality reasonably priced kitties? (midwest na)

two cats are my minimum and three is my ideal, and I LOVE longhair large breeds I've owned them before. This year abouts I'll be getting two ragdolls because I love raggies so much then for my third I'll wait a little while but I've definitely already been leaning towards a maine coon or NFC or longhair american curl/highlander lynx. If I go Maine Coon I'm in MN and willing to travel a bit, if anyone has recommendations! preference for solid black/silver/charcoal colorations.

I also like the wall furniture for cats But I haven't managed to find a brand that makes stuff meant for larger breeds, any input?
