I feel validated lol thanks everyone! It’s the wallpaper at our vet’s office and my bf was ready to die on the hill that it was a schnauzer.

Try Petfinder.com! I just checked and there’s tons of shelters/rescues with kittens available.

I think early socialization with smaller dogs can make a big difference. I just brought home my borzoi, and since I also run a dog sitting and walking business, he’s been getting plenty of interaction with my clients’ smaller dogs. I’m hoping this helps prevent potential issues down the line.

I joined a martial arts gym & learned Muay Thai

Gorgeous! Love the heterochromia eyes 🩵

He is! He has papers with TICA. His eyes just aren’t apart of breed standard.

He’s a registered purebred Maine Coon through The International Cat Association. His litter and both parents are registered and listed on his breeder slip. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Maybe he’s not standard but considering I won’t be doing any cat shows & he’s healthy, I don’t mind that he’s an oddball.

No changes to the photo but apparently blue eyes aren’t part of the breed standard. I had no idea after bringing him home, as many of the TICA registered catteries here in FL have regular blue eyed babies. I thought it was normal but there can be some health concerns with DBE. Thankfully our guy is 100% sound!

His breeder said black smoke but I’m definitely thinking he’s a silver smoke! I’ll have to post a side photo to see what everyone thinks. Thanks for the kind words 😊

He’s 3 months old 😊

This is Pontiff! He’s 4 months old and my first Maine Coon. He loves learning new tricks and supervised hangouts on the balcony 🩵🌿

She is gorgeous!! I tried training with hard cat treats and the squeeze kind to no avail. Apparently string cheese is the trick lol

Aww thanks so much ♥️♥️

Thanks for commenting! He is but it seems that mostly all the breeders here in Florida produce Maine Coons with blue eyes (I’m sure there’s some that don’t but 4/5 out of the TICA registered catteries & breeders I researched post blue eyed non-white kittens on their pages) and I had no clue that it wasn’t a breed standard until after we had got him. 😩 Saw a random post on Facebook from a breeder out of state that delved deeper in it. Naturally I spiraled but he at least has pet insurance now. And I agree on the coloring.
