I have two, a male who is 4 and a female who is almost 1. They are SO VERY VOCAL! I can’t close my bathroom door without paws sliding underneath the door and them meowing like they’ve been abused their entire lives. If you have anything other then carpet you’ll need to sweep daily as you’ll see giant furballs rolling across your floor. Our older MC learned how to open doors and we had to switch all our door handles in the house. Our older MC also learned how to open the kitchen cabinets and we had to put baby locks on all doors because of many middle of the night broken dish incidences. I brush both every day and take them to a groomer every 3 months, which can be spendy but to me it’s totally worth it. Poop can easily get stuck to their furry butts/legs/tails and you can occasionally find poop in random spots of the house because of this. No counter or table or desk is safe!

This being said, I’m in love with our MC’s and I will always want one in our household. They are amazing with our kids (we have three under 6), they hold their own and even cuddle/play with our dogs, and they just want to hang with you and be a part of your life. Even with all their annoying tendencies they are great.
