Norweigian Forest Cat or Maine Coone?

One of my kitties, Kiesha, is a long-haired calico. For some time, I’ve thought that she is a Maine Coone cross. However, a friend asked me if she is a Norweigian Forest Cat (a breed I had never heard of). I did some research, and sure enough she looks like a Norwiegian Forest Cat and not a Maine Coone.

Kiesha was a foundling, so I have no idea what her actual breed might be. She is a loving long hair who is a definitely character. She is very loveable. In the old house with wall-to-wall carpeting, she used to pee on the carpet. She had been confined in the second bathroom most of the time because of her bad habit. I had tried everything to break her of it (including trying kitty prozac and taking her to a behavioral pshchologist for cats — you guessed it, a cat shrink).

In the new house, Kiesha uses the litter box most of the time or pees on the linoleum floor next to it. I’d much rather have her use the floor than carpet any day.

So what do you think? Norwiegian Forest Cat or Maine Coone?

    I went to take a nap and Stella curled up next to me under the covers. She jumped back out from the covers, went underneath, and came back out. She couldn’t settle in one place. She kept on stopping and then meowing almost like a bark. I put her in the bathroom with food. I’m…

    I’ve always been a writer, and it’s always made sense to me to deal with issues by writing. I was reading through old posts on here and discovered just how much I’ve captured of Isis’ saga on this blog. Same with Basette and Ambush, my old kitties. A friend here at work suggested pulling Isis’…

    Ambush’s diabetes has gone into ketosis (very bad stuff for a diabetic). His glucose level was over 700 (off of the scale). It impacted how his kidneys function. Even if aggressive treatment was started, there was no telling if he would survive and what quality of life he might have. Best case scenario would have…

    I went back to Cat Angels today to meet Glynnis. She was a very pretty kitty, similar in build to Kiesha. Unfortunately, when I offered my hand she swatted at me. Not very social. My kitty case worker said that Glynnis would probably be best as a only-kitty and she would probably come around. Intuition…
