Thanks everyone! I'm so excited!

They were tossed onto the street when the cops raided a meth house and rescued by the neighbors who then called feral care. I'm expecting a few issues as they settle in, but that breed is so mellow I'm sure they'll be fine, given enough love and patience.

They are just beautiful in person, and I'm sure will get even prettier as they stop looking so grouchy :)

My Maine Coon fetches too, we throw a string down the stairs and he brings it back. I love the little chirp sound they make too.

Yes, ours chirps and meows a lot. When he's awake he wants constant attention and petting, but true to the breed, he isn't a lap cat. He's about 10 months old and already weighs 12 pounds. I understand they don't reach full size until age 4 or 5.

I had read in a book about the fetching thing and tried it out. He isn't always in the mood, but when he is he struts back with it like he's carrying a trophy. He also has a small mouse that he doesn't usually fetch, but does leave on our bed or in a room we use a lot.

I once read that some people call Maine coons "the tail with a cat attached to it."

Ours just turned 2, and he weighs 14lbs. We got him as a stray when he was about 10 months old. It was our vet who told us he was a Maine Coon. When he said he was about 10 months, I almost fell over. The cat was already 12 lbs and he was big. The tails is so cute. Ours is also not a lap cat, instead he sits near us usually on the floor or sometimes on his jungle gym.

Ours is also an attention seeker, and he is like having a shadow, if we both leave the room, within in minutes he is there behind us. I notice it alot at night, he seems to follow me more than John. I can be on the phone and look down and see him sprawled on the floor looking up at me.

We did alot of reading when we first got Lucky and it really described him down to the T. Do you have any other cats?

We also have a 15-year-old solid black cat and a gray tiger that is about 11. The two older ones are indoor-outdoor but we've decided the Maine coon will be indoors. Of course he dashes for the door every chance he gets but then doesn't really go anywhere. All of our cats are rescues -- two from the SPCA and one from a stray that crawled into a neighbor's basement and had kittens.

Henry, the Maine coon, was a surprise. I went off for a weekend and my wife and son went to the SPCA because he wanted a cat that was "his," preferably a "poofy" cat, as he calls long hairs. I love cats so I didn't mind and Henry has been a delight.

Blackie, the oldest, was my daughter's favorite. It's going to be hard when we lose him. He's slowed down a lot (although he does wrestle and battle with the kitten) but otherwise seems healthy.

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Is it gluten?

      @par18, no, Scott's use of the term "false negative" is intentional and appropriate. The "total IGA" test is not a test used to diagnose celiac disease per se. The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the...

      yes i do take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

The IGA immune spectrum response encompasses more than just celiac disease. So, "total IGA" refers to the whole pie, not just the celiac response part of it. But if the whole pie is deficient, the spectrum of components making it up will likely be also, including the celiac disease response spectrum. In other words, IGA deficiency may produce a tTG-IGA score that is negative that might have been positive had there not been IGA deficiency. So, the tTG-IGA negative score may be "false", i.e, inaccurate, aka, not to be trusted.
