    Cat Advice....

    Which one should I get?

    or

    Maincoone

    Neither. mrs-bp has four cats. You don't own a cat. They own you. They only time they ever show any gratitude is bringing in live creatures - rats are a favourite - and presenting them to you.

    They will cover your DFS sofa in hairs.

    Why not get a pet squirrel?

      Maine coons are lovely, very friendly (for cats) but they are extremely hairy and shed like mad in summer. They're also a lot more attention seeking than other cats. Unless you can deal with the hair, and very high need for jumping around and killing things (even for a cat), I'd go for something like a Siamese or british shorthair. Albeit, maine coons are excellent hunters (again, even by cat standards) if that is important to you.

        You need to buy a sofa first.

          A sliver tabby will always be on your side. Forget the chinchilla's though, grumpy pussies so they are.

            Maine coons are hard work, and if you let them outdoors are magnets for pikeys to steal, so keep them as indoor cats
            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Neither.

              A ginger or white tom cat.

              They will not only own you but the entire street....

                You should move to a better area.

                The dangers in my area for cats are getting run over or locked in someone's shed/house/garage.

                  The village is ok, the town nearest me isn't and the scrotes have cars these days

                  And it's worse for dogs, they get dog knapped for dog fighting

                    Get a moggie crossbreed kitten from cat rescue. They have better temperaments, live longer and are less susceptible to disease. Plus you are giving an unwanted cat a home.

                    I speak from experience. Persians especially are a health nightmare and Maine Coons a status symbol.
