Not a bunny, just a cat. Sorry! ![]()
He’s just a baby now, but we’ll get to take him home next month! The breeder has been nice enough to send us pictures so we can watch him grow up. ![]()
10 days old:
18 days old:
4 weeks old:
5 weeks old:
Oh, he’s adorable!!! Is it Ted Moseby who has inspired the name?
Maine coon? he is
super adorable. ![]()
What a tiger ![]()
Thanks guys! ![]()
bam:You’re halfway right, he is named after a TV show character. We have been watching Lonesome Dove lately and named him after our favorite anti-villain, Clay Mosby. ![]()
Moxie: You’re right, he is a Maine Coon. You know your cats!
He’s going to be a big boy.
The ear tufts, face shape and “M” over the forehead gave it away.
love Maine Coons, they are such pretty cats. (Considering where I live) Maine Coons are fairly common, Maine coon mutts are VERY common. And any cat marked with an “M” they’ll try and pass off as a coon lol. He sure is adorable though!
Does he have double paws?
Yep, Moxie is right. The ear tufts gave it away.
What a sweetie! I bet you can’t wait to get him home.
Moxie: Yeah, I guess the “M” thing is one of those Maine Coon rumors, just like how they’re part racoon.
No, he doesn’t have any extra toes, my husband wanted him to but I’m glad that he doesn’t, that kind of freaks me out. ![]()
LBJ: The waiting is the worst part! We have just over 5 weeks to go…
Lily is going to the vet today for a pre-kitten tune up. She knows something is up already.
I luuurve Maine Coons also !! I thought I’d get one to match my bunny size…
But a baby one would mean another 15-20 years of devotion and that’s not just yet for me I’m afraid, maybe in another couple of years when I’ve done everything on my bucket list !! LOL (or earlier if I cave in…. most likely !!)
The photo at 10 days old just makes me feel for him…. oh…. he looks like he’s waking up after a REALLY hard night !!! lol
Awwwww…..sweet little baby!!!! Just love those little tuffs on his ear tips! ![]()
I was on my phone before, so I couldn’t see the ear-tufts. They’re just crazy cute! Like elfin ears. Or a lynx.
(And I see now his name is Mosby, not Moseby. Couldn’t see that either on my phone.)

LOL!
He’s saying “You think this is bad? You should see the other guy!” ![]()
I think you should definitely get one too, what could be better than a giant bunny and a giant cat together? ![]()
We love his ear tufts! Both his parents have nice big ones (and beautiful green eyes!), so hopefully he will, too.
Ok, so… I’m actually afraid of cats, but this little guy looks like a linx wearing adorable shoes. ![]()
Hazel what a gorgeous cat! He is going to be so handsome when he grows up. You will have to keep posting pictures as he grows.
We’re definitely going to need A LOT more pics. ![]()
Q8bunny: Don’t be afraid of kitties, they’re awesome!
But there are some mean ones too…
Sindriona: Thanks! I’ll keep posting pictures of him, don’t worry. You guys will probably be sick of it before long.
Speaking of which, the breeder should send us new pictures in the next few days.
Hazel, I can guarantee you that we’ll never be sick of pics of Mosby ![]()
what time next month are you going to be bringing Mosby home? ![]()
He’s gorgeous
Would love a maine coone because of the size, but I’m not big on fully longhair cats.
I think the “M” thing is a silly identifying feature though, because it’s really not one. Plenty of cats, moggies and other purebreeds of certain colours have a distinct “M” marking, it’s just part of the tabby pattern.
I’m a sucker for kitties! I love his little white toes! *melt”
bam: I hope not, there will be a lot of them!
And thanks again for your help yesterday!
Moxie: We’ll pick him up right before Easter. He will be 11 weeks old.
Azerane: Thanks! We’ve never had a long haired cat, or a cat that had to be brushed regularly for that matter, so we’ll wait and see how it goes. We did just order a brush for him. And a gigantic litter box. It arrived yesterday and it’s laughably big. Like a baby tub, for a giant baby…
BM: Thank you! We think he’s pretty cute, too!
No new pictures yet, we should be getting them any day now… He will be 7 weeks old on Friday.
I am sure you can hardly wait!
![]()
Yes, the waiting is the worst!
Got new pictures!
7 weeks old:
He’s getting big! ![]()
Our Easter kitty is here!
It seems like these two will be good buddies:
Somekitty didn’t like her surprise…
But after three days things started to look better:
Brilliant two contradicting photos !!! I think that’s called successful bonding !!! What a lovely cat !! But then you know that already ! ![]()
Oh wow, he is so handsome… and so big already, lol! He’s just going to be a giant cuddle monster, haha.
I’m interested to see how his eye colour develops ![]()
Vienna: Thanks! They’re getting along pretty well now.
Azerane: Yeah, he’s big. He weighed in at 3.75 lbs at 11 weeks a few days ago. It’s crazy how their heads are pretty much the same size! Both his parents have green eyes, so I guess that’s what his will be, too. ![]()
His fecal test came back with Coccidia. Luckily we had him tested right when we got him, so by the time he started showing symptoms he was already diagnosed and we were starting his treatment.
Oh me goodness, he’s so regal! ![]()
Thanks Moxie!
He’s a sweet little guy.
Mosby is 16 weeks old now, and weighs 6 lbs, same as his big sister, although it doesn’t look that way. He has a more “sturdy” built. ![]()
“He ate all my food!”
“Did NOT!!!”
Oh man, he is just the cutest. He is so fluffy, and bound to get even more so. By the way, I love the colour of your Siamese, is she blue point?
Hee, his tail is so long! Adorable! ![]()
![]()
He looks like a real lion with that big chin… gorgeous!
Ridiculously stunning
Thanks guys! ![]()
Vienna: He does have a big chin, and big feet! ![]()
Azerane: She’s a lilac. Good guess though! For a lilac, she’s pretty dark. I think she could pass for a blue if her paw pads weren’t too light.
