I hope that he is playing across the Rainbow Bridge with my kitty-son Kirin who left this earth back in 2004.<BR/><BR/>And Norwegian Forest Cats (or Weegies) are relatives of the Maine Coons, so they look similar and have similar dispositions: generally sweet and friendly.Teendochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351506731552454057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959902948863719059.post-68844220783436585032008-01-31T14:18:00.000-08:002008-01-31T14:18:00.000-08:00Hannibal is a Maine Coon Cat. And he's the sweetes...Hannibal is a Maine Coon Cat. And he's the sweetest pussycat in the world. Or, more correctly, he was. I am devastated to report that Hannibal became very ill a couple of weeks ago and we had to put him to sleep. He was 15 years old, and had been fighting kidney disease. For almost a year he lived on a diet of human tuna, turkey, chicken and half-and-half cream. We also gave him IVs of fluids to help him. Our veterinarian, Dr. Shields, was absolutely wonderful, helping us give Hannibal the best care possible. This was a difficult decision, filled with many tears, and I miss him terribly. I'm not familiar with the Weegie and will have to look it up. DSH's are my favorites, I think. There's nothing sweeter than a good old non-designer pussycat. Please give your cats a nice big pat for me!Deborah Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550149157025831853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959902948863719059.post-33573556636490980722008-01-22T09:21:00.000-08:002008-01-22T09:21:00.000-08:00Hannibal looks like a Norwegian forest cat.
