carefully watching a bumblebee
omg bumblebees terrify me, my cat has come in a few times with them live in her mouth, terrified she will be stung
My neighbour's 'posh' girl. A beautiful Maine Coon.
Wow, she's stunning! Love that blue colour and those lynx tips. Just gorgeous.
they really rarely sting, i see them as good chubby boys haha
wasps on the other hand, i'm always so scared when she's chasing themthe attitudeeeee!!

Hey guys! Just after a bit of advice! We're thinking of getting a puppy to add to our growing tribe of animals. Have any of you guys introduced a pup to cats? If so how did they take it? Any advice?
My aunty has a Maine coone who is ruler of the roost ( and still is). She bought a cockerpoo last summer - she introduced them to each other . Scout ( the cat ) got the huff on with the new arrival ( Meg the cockerpoo) and he went awol for 48 hours. When Scout came back home they made a massive fuss of him ( lots of strokes and treats). Scout then ignored Meg for a while and after a few days he started accepting her. Fast forward a year and they are now the best of friends ( tbh Meg is a placid dog whereas Scout is definitely very dominant).
Sorry this is probably not the advice you wanted - I suspect you are looking for more practical tips. Just wanted to share the fact that it can work and to not be put off.
This is them on Megs 1st birthday ( taken last week).

Oh they look adorable! How cute!! No that is actually super helpful - anything that helps reassure is amazing. We have two maine coons x ragdoll mixes that both behave like little dogs haha. They're both indoor cats so I'm hopeful that would make things easier as my biggest concern is them just running off.
I feel like I am constantly talking about my parents' zoo (2 cats and a dog
) but I think the key is , as the cat/s are there first you need to make sure they feel in control, and also just don't expect them to be friends really. They might end up getting on, liekly they won't, so just basically make sure the cats have the rule of the house and they don't have to be together with the dog and have places to escape to. After 1+ years my parents' cats sometimes sleep on a sofa together with the dog ( not next to each other) which is basically more than anyone expectedalso to add to this, my parents' vet (who was just for the cats) when asked about advice, said "don't get a dog, just don't" I would avoid naysayers, they probably won't be friends but they easily cohabitate
Love that there is a cat thread. Everyoneβs cats are just lovely.
Hereβs my old man Dubs. Heβs 15 and had been a stray in the street for a while before we took him in last year (we thought he belonged to someone further down). He loves being part of a games night and watching his fave movie Shrek

My lovely Pooh-Bear.
That's reassuring. Yes we've already got two baskets on our wardrobe that they get into if they are stressed or something has spooked them outside. I'm also thinking of getting some shelves put up in "their room" (not theirs but might as well be!) So they can have the high ground if they need it.I feel like I am constantly talking about my parents' zoo (2 cats and a dog
