But he's expensive, $1k. Cute AF...there are so many rescues, but not nearly as cute as this little guy. What to do...

Is that a Main Coon?

I love them. If you want him......prepared a VERY large and high energy cat. You are gonna need a large litter box, no cover on it. And a large cat tree.

You would probably do well to harness and leash train him. It's not weird to walk a cat and it's really good for them. It will stop him from starting problem behaviors.

Assuming that's a Main Coon...he looks like one but his ears dont look very Main Coonish from that angle. They almost always have large ears and fur that sticks up on the top....they are also usually more than 1k.

I have friend who breeds and sells these guys. I'd love to have one but I already have a bunch of rescue cats.

Yeah I'd rather have a cat than a dog.

Much lower maintenance.

I'd rather not own a pet that requires several walks...daily

Dogs would monopolize your available time whereas cats would not.

Dogs are like a child that never grows up while cats are like a fixture or piece of furniture.

They're just there.
Ya don't need to worry about them too much.

Move rural Joe, and never have to walk your dog again! Dogs out here are free... They have room to be dogs.

I'll be getting a doggo once most of my reno bullshit is complete!

This is my boy Joaquin. Weirdest cat I’ve ever had. He’s a Himalayan. He does not purr, and pisses and shits outside somewhere. He’s an excellent hunter, and doesn’t really like a lot of attention. Kinda like me. He’s out most of the day, but reports in at 8:00 in the evening.

We've been looking for a Golden Retriever puppy but breeders are demanding between $5k and $10k. I noticed in other states the prices are much lower.

It's crazy here too, as I feel a Golden Retriever would be the best fit for me and my larger rural property. Ever since Covid hit, breeders are working above capacity... Supply/Demand, and they can almost charge what they want. Nearest breeders that seem quality are actually in Washington State, which is no problem since I'm an hour from the border, but I'm not vaxxed, so that's still a no-go for now.

It's a "Doll Face Persian".

I have never had that problem with a cat unless the box wasn't clean enough for its standards.

I have a new pup too. He's such a sweetie, a total cuddle bug. He's mellow and has the best disposition.
