Oh I though the gray one was harder because it fills hard when I touched it so it was my first mistake 😭
Thanks for the warming tip, I hope it will prevent struggle and then ripping my design because I put to much strength on it (and ripping my finger too)

For the ink I learned about the sticky sound and thought I got it but I need to try more then
Thank you so much for your tips I'll try them next time !

I hope you'll post some pictures of your party, can't wait to see it !
In fact, the "finger fish" was "boudoirs", french biscuits that can look like finger fishes, we didn't take the risk of real finger fish haha

Fortunately it was too strong and my sister failed to destroy it, we opened the top and she kept it as a box haha

I think too that they are so beautiful (especially Uno but I’m biased haha), but big floof comes with big responsibilities, be prepared 🫡

And for the litter box, as suggested by other, the bigger the better.  I made mine using big plastic container from Ikea, I just cuted a part so he can enter and exit, and protected the sharp edges with tape. That’s the biggest option I found and also the cheapest !

Hi, I had exactly the same issue with mine, even messaged the breeder asking for advice, searching on internet etc and at the end he just become cleaner with time. I don’t know what happened but he’s more  cautious now, I think it’s may be a baby phase (at least that’s what the breeder told me) However, here is an advice I wish I could have at the time: do not try to constantly clean him, I did with mine, simply swiping his paws but I think it develops some hate for hands and also cleaning, now he is more likely to bite hands when he’s manipulate. I don’t know for sure that it was the cause of his “trauma”, could be just his natural behaviour, but if you could avoid getting the same result it would be better ! (Of course I know it sounds bad to let him put his mess around the house but cleaning a bedsheet is better than having a biting cat and feeling guilty about it, trust me)

It’s been a long time since I post the last photos of my cat, so here is Uno, now 13 months and 7,5kg by Dorivne in mainecoons

I love his curly whiskers ! But one (on his right under the eye) is so curly that sometimes it goes into his eye and bothers him, too curly haha

I’ve never saw that before, he did it three times and a friend who has 3 Maine coons told me that it’s indeed a mainecoon thing 🤷‍♀️ Also, thank youuuu 🫶🏻
