Well, it's about time I dedicated a blog post to "my boys". Their personalities are larger than life....and so are they.
Herman Peter and Haggis Tweed have been in our lives for just over a year. They're my furry fluffy bundles of naughtiness. It's like actually having 2 more dogs in the house. If you're not fond of cats.....then you haven't met "The Trillers" Now...Herman.....oh Herman, you naughty little lovable rogue you! He's my new test cat (having had little old Lucy and my big man Cactus, until they went to rainbow bridge....rest their souls). Herman is not yet fully grown, and already weighs a whopping 7kg. He's a lanky, lean Maine Coon, who likes to be involved in EVERYTHING....and I mean EVVERRYYYTHIING!!!! He "inspects" all new dogs when they come for their socialisation visit, and has hands and arms instead of front legs.....he stretches out his "go go gadget" arms, to touch his new doggy visitors He's even made a few friends from our visiting daycare and boarding doggies. He gives kisses to Sky, has snuggled up to Madge, and has been known to steal many a doggy bed...tut tut Herman!! Herman is a Prince and he knows it....he saunters around the house like the Prince that he is....and loves to come out for walks with the doggies. He bounds through the paddock with a lolloping gait, (specifically reserved for Maine Coons), and ends up as dirty as the doggies, in what can only be described as a wet mess!!!! Little Haggis Tweed, is a scaled down version of Herman. Whilst they're brothers, Haggis is a tiny 6kg in comparison, and is the most laid back pussy cat you could imagine....but we suspect he doesn't have an awful lot between his ears, bless him. Haggis is far more cat, than dog, and is out and about exploring his Serengeti in the wee small hours, whilst we sleep....and then announces his presence in the middle of the night, by jumping on the bed and covering you in kisses....forgetting he has long double coated fur, which means we get showered...not just in love....but water....or even worse...mud!!!! Haggis has recently been on a "big night out", which went horribly wrong!!! Making his way out to his nightly party....and Mr Tweed failed to come home.... we waited and waited and waited. It only took me about...err...5 hours to mount a full scale search and rescue mission. Many facebook posts, advertising campaigns, pleas for drones and search and rescue dogs.....and 6 long days later Haggis returns. Our relief was palpable, and so was his. He was skinny and starving....tired and scared, but other than that unharmed!!!!! And he has been lectured in between cuddles and kisses, not to do such a scary thing again!!!! Curiosity and cats are not a good combination young Haggis!! As always, Herman and Haggis have slotted nicely into family life, and entertain us all on a daily basis with their antics, lack of balance, and all other manner of things unbecoming of a cat. They're fun loving yet laid back, loyal and sweet. I would highly recommend a Maine Coon as a cat/dog companion....life is never boring!!!! Until next time....
