Maine Coon Jumana "Beckham" showing off her soccer skills

She's so precious, I just had to put her in my <3's.

My kitty likes paper balls and leaves a litter of them scattered around the house. She likes them way better than the $15 toy I got her from the pet store-and had to give to my friend's cat since our cat never used it. : )

Your kitty looks big enough to knock the table at 2:49 over if she ran into instead of around it. : )

Thanks : )

LOL - yes, I've given up buying expensive toys too. All you need is a paper ball, and "Ready.... set.... GO!!!". Jumana loves to chase balls - doesn't bring them back though.

She is pretty big and strong now, so she probably could knock the table over if she wanted to. : )

Goodness, what a beautiful cat with such character. She's absolutely adorable. I am planning on getting a Maine Coon female too. They seem like the best cats ever :-)

Hi - thanks for the nice comment.

I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed with a MC - they have wonderful natures. I read once that they won't be your baby - but they'll be your best friend.

They aren't cuddly lap cats, but they like being patted, and love to be next to you & follow you around. They're very gentle & good-natured & are known as the gentle giants.

Jumana is quite talkative too, and has a very cute "voice" - quite different to any other moggies/cats that we've had.

Thanks ssmbmaster99

I've been reading some cat behaviour books lately and learnt that the reason they pick up things like these paper balls and throw them around is related to their fishing instinct. Apparantly when they fish they put their paw under the fish and flick it out of the water, or hold it with both paws and throw it up and over onto the river bank.

Scrunched up paper seems to be ideal for this kind of 'playing'. : )
