Koda loves bird watching. He's a 10y/o maine coon mix (from a farm, not a breeder) and very dear to me. I had to give him (and Lilly) to friends as he and his sister Miez were constantly fighting. Miez is with my parents while my friend is on vacation.

Thank you for explaining this weird custody situation.

Yeah it is a bit tricky as my parents also own a cat called Franka. Franka and Miez more or less get along, they both fear each other. It's weird but for a few days is OK. Franka and Koda don't get along at all.

Also, I first tried to find a new home for Miez but that didn't work out in the long run before then coming to the current arrangement with my friends family. I had to keep Koda and Lilly together as Lilly has nervous issues and Koda totally is her emotional support cat. It's adorable and fun to see them playing together, as he's double her size and they both like playing rough. He doesn't allow me to watch though for whatever reason, but I know his weird let's play sound/meow and then they rush through the whole place together. He used to do this with Miez as well but she can't keep up with him anymore due to her asthma. That's the reason I took in Lilly actually, so that he could have a playmate again. However Miez was still very stressed out as now the both of them chased her.

It's quite the history.

Here's a few pics of them all.

Way more interesting than Days of our lives…. You could turn thst jnto an incredibly addictive soap.

Or at least, like, the first season.

So a classic Netflix thing then? One very successful season, then without anybody knowing why, just cancelled.

There even was a plot twist. Franka was so afraid of Miez that she didn't go around her to the toilet. Now she somehow figured out that Miez is actually quite afraid of her and that she's the boss... A little too late for my parents' old couch but still a good twist.

I foresee like 30 seasons, lol.

Being around those personalities must be exciting. (And they’re beautiful! Give ‘em scritches for me, when you get a chance?)
