Wie heißt Dein Haustier und, wie bist Du auf den Namen gekommen?
This is Lilly, my sweet Maine Coon. When I came to Germany, after a while I wanted a cat. I am familiar with cats and dogs since I was a child. A dog was not not an option for me, due to long work hours, but a cat yes. When I started looking for a cat, I only made two calls and one trip to a family in Ingolstadt who had Lilly.
When I visited the old owners, Lilly did not come to me, cause even at that time, she was mistreated and Lilly reacted between frustration and scare.
I had no idea about Maine Coons since I never had one. Lilly had a different name, which I did not like and I wanted a new one for her and less association with what scared her.
She is a pretty cat so I picked up the name Lilly for her, cause it seemed just right. It took her a bit more than a month to feel comfortable and safe and in that period she did many things they would keep me busy cleaning and fixing and worried as well.
I knew I had to give time, and with love and reassurance she would react better.
I am glad I had the patience as well for all the moments of destruction from her side.
She is my sweet monster as I call her sometimes, still growing and feeling happy. I know cats do not like traveling, but she did not like the cats hotel experience either. Maine Coons are easier with traveling, so I started traveling with her. She is herself, happy and playing even when we travel abroad to my home country.
