Thor
is my first Maine Coon and the first cat I purchased as a kitten.
Previously I had two rescue domestic longhairs, sadly one of them, Jet,
passed away a week before my birthday last year and I was utterly devastated.
At the time I wasn't sure whether I could get another cat but after a while I
felt I need a new family member to make new memories with. I did some
research and discovered the Maine Coon breed and then further research and
found Thor. I love this boy with all my heart he fills our days and home with
joy. He is not only furry but sweet, and patient enough to wear a bowtie, too!
Thor is very very affectionate and loves being cuddled and is often winding
through my legs. Several times a day all you have to do is look at him and he
curls up and rolls onto his back with his feet up. As soon as he hears the
key in the front door you can hear his big heavy feet running down the hall!
He loves running through the house from one end to the other at top speed,
skidding around corners on the wood floor, it's a little cartoon like
watching him try to regain his balance. He loves loves loves chasing the red
laser dot around the lounge. He also chases your toes around whilst they are
under the duvet- this is most nights and can be a little painful. He loves to
climb and is very good at backflips off his cat tower! His favourite top is
probably the feather and bell on a stick. I could wave this around all day
and he would play - he has destroyed several through constant play!
Thor is vocal, I have never heard a meow from him, but he chirps like nothing
I have ever heard! It's loud and it's like he is talking to himself
sometimes. He fell in the sink after I'd just filled it with water once and
he ran off chirping constantly for the next twenty minutes whilst he dried off it was
like he was telling himself off. Muttering to himself like we probably would
if we had made a mistake!
As I lie in bed typing this just before I get up Thor is currently circling
me on the bed and then stops for a few seconds pacing along my back- this is
his way of saying get up come and play or feed me now!
He also loves playing fetch with his catnip mice and playing with his BFF
Thea another Maine coon who is one month younger than him. They play together,
curl up together, clean each other any fighting is purely playful. Thea is
the boss so ever the gentleman Thor listens to Thea and you can see him take
a step back if Thea wants to do something first. He will watch and then dive in later!
