CatSitting

Over the summer time, a lady my mother works with goes away on vacation for two weeks.  My mother told her that I really like cats and would not mind watching her five cats that she has for the time that she is away on vacation.  So I met the lady and her five cats and immediately fell in love with all of them.  Nancy, the lady my mom works with, really liked me and knew that  I would take good care of her cats.  I would go over to her house every day and feed the cats, play with them, and change their littler boxes.  I grew to fall in love with them and did not want to stop going over to see them. 

My mom and Nancy have already talked and I plan on watching the five cats again this summer.  I do not even see it as being a job because I love them so much and they are so fun to play with.  The cats are so playful and I really like the persian cat, Jazmone, that Nancy has. I am really thankful that Nancy trusts me with her five cats and that she allows for me to watch them while she is on her vacation.  I would not hesitate ever to watch someone's cats for them no matter what!

Maine Coon Breed

I absolutely love cats and learning about all of the different types of breeds that are out there of cats.  I have recently found out that there is a certain type of breed that has huge, furry tails and that can become fairly long in length as they grow older. This type of breed is known as the Maine Coon breed.  The Maine Coon breed is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America and is specifically native to the state of Maine. 

Male Main Coon cats can weigh between 15 and 25 pounds and females can weigh between 10 and 15 pounds.  Adult Maine Coon cats can reach a height of 10 to 16 inches and lengths of up to 40 inches.  These cats are pretty unique and one of the biggest breeds of cats out there.  When the Maine Coon cat is young, it may not be that noticeable that they are going to be a very big size with very furry and fluffy tails that are just out of this world.  Maine Coon cats are not very cheap in price either, some of them can cost up to $1000!  This breed is a very nice breed to own.

I had not known that much about this breed until recently and once I found out about them, I wanted to find out as much as possible to learn more about them.  I think that this breed is such an amazing and unique breed and I would really like to own one when I am older. If I really enjoy the Maine Coon breed, maybe one day I will breed them to make some money as well.
