Purely visually, coonies, as they are often called, appear wild. The large cats with the pointed ears, the long skull and the thick paws resemble a lynx. But even before the actual breeding of pedigree cats began, they already bore the name cuddly head, which fits the character of the animals. Maine Coon males make friends quickly. The females are a little more reserved at the beginning. However, Coonies always form a close bond with their owner and want to follow him almost everywhere. The book comprehensively prepares you for living with these beautiful big cats. It answers the questions that occupy every (future) cat owner: - Can a Maine Coon be kept as an apartment cat? - What should be taken into account when caring for the cat's coat and claws? - What kind of food does the cat need? - Can I train a cat? - What do Coonies need to play? Something we would like to reveal already now: Maine Coon cats are gentle and balanced, but very curious and enterprising. The cats do not lose these qualities even in old age. Keeping them indoors is not a problem, as long as you always provide variety. Contents: - Breed characteristics - History of the breed - Character of the breed - Demands of the breed - Healthcare & nutrition - Preparation for moving in and much more! Become a team with your Maine Coon cat and learn how to handle her with love!

Charlie Harris and his Maine Coon cat, Diesel, are busy decking the halls for the holidays when an unexpected delivery and a shocking murder conspire to shake up the season in this latest installment of the New York Times bestselling series. December twenty-fifth is right around the corner, and Charlie is making his list and checking it twice. He is doing his best to show some peace and goodwill toward his nosy neighbor Gerry Arbitron, a real estate agent who seems to have designs on his house (and maybe on him, as well), while preparing for a very important role, indeed--his first Christmas as a grandfather. The last thing Charlie expects is to gain several new additions to his family. Charlie finds a box on his doorstep with five kittens inside and a note begging him to keep them safe. With Diesel's help, Charlie welcomes the tiny felines into the Harris household just as Gerry decides it is time to throw a lavish holiday party. Determined to make her mark on Athena, Gerry instead winds up dead at her very own party. Though attempts to dig into her past come up empty, Charlie and his girlfriend, Helen Louise, witness two heated exchanges involving Gerry before her death: one with a leading citizen and another with the wife of a good friend. Will one of these ladies wind up on the sheriff's naughty list? Charlie and Diesel have to wrap up the case before the special season is ruined by a sinister scrooge.
