"I am gorgeous, smart, wise and loving as every Main Coon should be. Only 16 months old, but loved by all."

Molly is a blue-white Maine Coon born on December 12th, 2009. A great discussion point when visitors arrive is the fact that Molly was bred from Russian and American parents.

She grew up in the business (travel agency) and is the centre point of discussion from suppliers to clients.

She likes to wander in the garden and to solve this problem we bought a Pet Locator Plus, a wonderful gadget to track our beloved kitten.

She is amazed that we can find her so quickly. Part of going walkies is to give her mother a heart attack or playing games of hide and seek.

For any cat owner who would like to know where their cat hides, the Pet Locator Plus is a must.

Hi Gillian,
Wow, Molly really is gorgeous! Thanks for the tip on the Pet Locator Plus - I'm very interested in it. I'm so glad you've found a safe way for her to enjoy the outdoors.

Thanks again for sharing your beautiful girl! I’ll be sure to add her to our photo album in the next update.

Diva Molly (SA) - Proof Maine Coons Love Water!

As proof that Maine Coons love water, we had to enclose our swimming pool but Molly is determined to get to the water.

She walks across the net to sit on the floater in the middle of the pool. No fear!!!

Gillian,
That is amazing! She looks like the "Queen Of The Water" out there! I can't believe she walks across that net :) Thanks so much for sharing, I know everyone will love it!

Love my little MC beauty

I recently brought home a silver patch Maine Coon girl at 8 weeks old—she’s been with me for nearly 3 months.

She’s indoors only and has the run of most of the house. We’re working on scratching and keeping her off counters. Nail trimming is tough too - I managed two today! I usually pay for it, but it adds up fast. Any tips?

Thanks for sharing Diva Molly! I didn't know Maine Coons liked water. My 6-month-old girl hops in the shower with me - so funny!

She's my first Maine Coon, and I’m learning something new every day. She's such a joy.

Diva Molly and her life in SA
by: Gillian & Molly
Molly and I are still loving life in Port Elizabeth. It’s cooler now, but a recent monkey visit gave us a scare - Molly won’t go out in the morning anymore!

She's 5, clever, and loves belly bubbles. She splits time between the garden and my travel office and still wears her pet locator, which has saved us a few times.

Her frenemy Dennis the stray still visits, and Mom collects gemstones - I wear one too! Love, Molly.

Molly is gorgeous! I live in Benoni, SA, and was gifted a ginger Maine Coon kitten. I’ve had many cats, but this one has completely stolen my heart - such a gentle breed. I’m also looking into a pet locator now. Loved the pool photos!

Molly now wears a second-gen pet locator - much slimmer, waterproof, and easier to attach. It's also cheaper than the first one. Highly recommend it for peace of mind!

Hi Gillian! I’m in Boksburg and recently got a Maine Coon from a breeder in Pretoria - his name is Merlin.

I've had many cats, but this one is on another level: sweet, talkative, and huge at just under a year old. He’s incredibly loving, especially when I’m sick. I’d adopt 10 more if my wife wasn’t allergic! No other breed compares.

Molly is beautiful! My Blue Tortie, Muska, loves the outdoors too - if she’s not home by 10 PM, I panic. The pet locator sounds ideal.

I recently welcomed a second Maine Coon - this breed has totally won me over. Wishing you many happy days with Molly.

Molly and I are amazed at the warm responses! In South Africa, heat is a factor - she goes out early, then lounges in our air-conditioned office until late afternoon.

We treat for fleas and use pest control, plus she wears her locator daily. She even responds to the tag's buzz! It has a panic button, too - maybe I should teach her to press it? Ha!

She’s beautiful - such a sweetheart. I adore my Ruby too; she’s cuddly and kissable. If I had known how special Maine Coons are, I would've adopted one years ago. They really are addictive!

Wow, Molly is stunning! Is your home a bit off the beaten path? I imagine you're surrounded by space.

How do you keep her cool in those South African temps? Are there bugs or shots she needs that we don’t use in the UK? She’s absolutely purrfect - I’m a fan!

Just Beautiful

WOW - Molly is gorgeous! I love the flowerpot photo. You're brave letting her outside, but the locator must give peace of mind. We keep ours indoors, but I admire your setup.
