More about Pixel

Pixel is a Maine Coon cat. Maine Coons are a breed of large domestic cat which is, apparently, one of the older breeds of cat in North America. (See more about Maine Coons here).

We were inspired to get a Maine Coon after meeting Bootsie and Eddie, Margaux and Ron’s two cats. They are well behaved and gentle cats and since we live in an apartment, this was the type of cat we were looking for. I think that Andreas was particularly scarred from the memories of his childhood cat Nikki who used to climb the walls (literally – they had grass wallpaper) and attack unsuspecting prey, claws bared, from above.

Eddie

Pixel has definitely lived up to our expectations. She is a very gentle cat who never gets aggressive. She has learned how to fetch and her favourite toys are the plastic covers for my insulin needles. She carries them around the apartment in her mouth and find interesting places to play with them (usually a pile of clothing on the floor). She is very food-focussed and never misses a chance to be present when the fridge door is opened. She has even learned that if she is quick enough she can some times grab a package of pita bread (a strange favourite) out of the fridge.
