How big do you expect your new kitty to get?do they gt a long w/ regular cats? daughter really wants one & we need a female cat
again...our boy cats are very lazy & do not mouse.
sorry for all the questions...we've been interested for a while,
but don't know anyone personally to ask.

congrats on your new kitty!

We expect she'll get pretty big. We have two (fixed) male Maine Coons and they are pretty big compared to other domestic cats we've seen. They are definitely HUGE compared to my MIL's Siamese Cats, which I always thought were pretty big cats. MC's get to between 15-30lbs. Ours are on the smaller side...each just under 20lbs. One of them has a skin condition or I think he would be much bigger. So we think Maggie will be able to give them a run for their money lol.

As for getting along...MCs get along with everything & everyone lol. We have three dogs and three cats and they all get along just fine. MCs act more like dogs than cats most of the time. They aren't aloof or snotty...they come running when the doorbell rings to check out who's here, they play fetch, they play in any water they can find. In fact, I just got a pic of Maggie yesterday sitting in the dog's water bowl lol.
