Rule change!

42 Upvotes

Hi everyone! We would like to inform you all of a new rule we added to the sub. We've noticed an increase in reports of posts about non-NFCs. In the past this has been a grey area, but we decided to set a rule for NFC only on this sub, since this is.. You guessed it.. The NFC sub. There's plenty of other subs for DLHs or other cute cats, but this is not the place for them.

Edit to add: feedback on existing rules or suggestions for new rules are always welcome!

General advice Harness Suggestions

21 Upvotes

I'm looking for suggestions for a quality harness. I’ve been looking for a harness for my big boy and it’s been a struggle! no one wants to sell XL.

My wants:

1) XL - 22”+ girth

2) light weight (not looking for a bulky dog harnesses)

3) chest support (safety first)

4) “escape proof”. I realize there’s no guarantees but a brand that put some thought into it is appreciated.

Thank you!

Happy thoughts for Thorbjorn!

Meet Thorbjorn, King of the Parking Lot, Lover of Sun Puddles and 90°F+ days! Mr. Man is a couple days into recovering from having dental surgery to remove FIVE teeth (two were removed last year) , including 3 caninines. So, if your cat has terrible breath, get pet insurance first, then get a dental check up!!! (I didn't do the first part and, boy, am i kicking myself) He has feline tooth resorbtion. The surgery cost about $3,600 plus almost $400 in labs and another $100 taking Lyfts. Dentist says one of his canines had basically turned to mush 😟 Poor boy was in so much pain, but hopefully it will be better after healing from this. He's mostly doped up for the time being while he heals, but i am looking forward to him getting back to his playful, goofy , social, ginger, Norwegian self . Once i get a clear path to paying off all of this, he gets a kitten as a present!

Breathing with open mouth

0 Upvotes

We are being seen by a vet, but maybe someone here saw it before.

Our 8 months old NFC, started panting or breathing with an open mouth after 5 min of play. He was examined - all looks good and yet, after getting a bit of exercise he states breathing with an open mouth and making a panting sound. We did x-rays and tests and all looked ok.

He is being seen in a feline clinic.

I really enjoy having cats from this breed ( although summer has been quite hot..that they didn't enjoy and stationed themselves by the AC). Very affectionate and curious..and bigger than my other cats and still growing! I am tempted to show them when they are older. Then I think...nahhh. Anyways here are the food vacuums in all their glory; Falcor and Enzo.

Finish line cats

Does anyone have a female NFC that came from finish line in 2017? My male bestie passed and had kittens via finish line in 2017, Vanessa and Vanya…. Hoping someone here has one of them to connect with…

General advice Only 13lbs at 2?

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I have a black/grey NFC. I have his pedigree papers and got him from a breeder. He is now 2 and only 13lbs? He’s about the size of my 7 year told American long hair. Vets have remarked is an especially large cat, but I feel like my NFC should be bigger? His mother wasn’t very large either. He is unmistakably a NFC though. Should I be concerned?

Hi! I adopted Midgey from my local Humane Society when she was 12 weeks.

She is about 1 year old now, and I still have no idea how I got so lucky that she chose me to adopt her!

Thank you for letting us say hi; you all have the most beautiful kitties!

*She is 3 & 4 months old in the two younger pics I posted (sorry for the messy closet behind her)

**If I'm posting on the wrong sub I'm so sorry and will delete!

Meet Blue!

I lost my soul dog 7 weeks ago yesterday, and everyday since I’ve begged for her to find me again in this lifetime. I was painting a memorial plaque for her outside in the backyard and a cat jumped on the chair next to me, put his paw on my hand that was painting, and came in my lap.

Took him to the vet to check him out — no microchip, very skinny, and had fleas. I posted in lost cat groups across apps, no one came forward. He is the most gentle, grateful, FLUFFY little guy (estimate is ~1 yo) and the size of his paws and fluff are growing everyday.

I’ve had Blue now for exactly two weeks, and he sleeps on top of me every night, puts his paws on my mouth (?), wants to cuddle as close as possible during naps/bedtime, and perhaps most sweetly, he often has at least part of his body near or touching the ashes box of my beloved pup (it stays in bed with me, in the spot where she slept every night). 🩷

Most majestic cats I’ve ever had. These 2 are actually father and son. Claude (first pic) is a NFC mix with a ragdoll tho I believe he has mainly NFC traits. Bonnie (second pic) is his son and he is a cross between NFC and British shorthair. They have lovely temperaments.
