Can anyone suggest a nice name for a new male Maine Coon kitty?

He will actually be my 5th Maine Coon cat. I am getting him somewhat suddenly because someone else decided to wait for the exact color they wanted. I am fine with the way he looks - silver and white mackrel. What is a nice manly name for a cat? All ideas welcome. You all can always come up with something terrific!

Not a maine coon but he looks just like
Norwegian Forest Cat, really big and fits the category, double fured, loves the water and will jump in a bathtub for drinking, carries his tail straight up but alas, he and his brother are Wal-Mart give-aways and how I love those guys. His brother is smaller, about 14 lbs.
How about Mick *MC* for Maine Coon :) lol

My male kitty
when he first came to live with us he was a mere 6 weeks old, and he would drink from the water bowl while "standing" on the edge of the bowl (front paws only) which looked silly but cute too! Then, he rapidly grew and grew and began to tip the water bowl over when doing that, so thankfully he stopped, but now I notice him sliding his paws (slowly) in a digging motion before drinking and can't help but notice how noisey he is when he drinks, he sounds like a dog lapping or a bird taking a bath! Boys! 
Thanks, what a nice kitty!

Good advice was given here. Suggest vet check-up for kitty needs vet check. sm
I've had 2 females over the years who developed stones/crystals in urine or UTIs. Both of them started spraying inappropriately. Never had a female spray inappropriately other than in these instances. They go into spasm and can't help themselves. If it is a urinary problem, eventually you may see slight pink-tinged spray if it gets that far untreated due to the irritation from constantly trying to pee. One more thought is if the kitty is not sick, maybe the other cat won't let her use the litter box for some reason. Maybe set up another box for her.
And buy kitty nice work out clothes as incentive.

I think some up here in Maine still use them!
There are some doctors that do still make housecalls up here in rural Maine...floored me the first time I typed up a report on one! I'm not talking nursing home calls either...these were bonafide housecalls, complete with description of having iced tea with a patient on their porch! I kid you not!
Speaking of "back in the day," remember how some doc's used to have license plates that said "MD" on them next to the numbers? Never see those anymore either...seems they like to stay under the radar should they drive by an accident or something.

It is all natural and your teeth feel really clean afterwards. It is a little pricey though.
They just had one here in Maine!
Some frantic mother got a text messsage from her kid in school (I know, I know, kids having access to a cell phone during school hours blows my mind too!) who said they have police and dogs in the school and are checking lockers, backpacks, and the students for "something." Wouldn't divulge what. Some mumbo jumbo about finding "threatening" grafitti in one of the bathrooms and they were simply looking for the spray can so they could finger the perp. 100% BS if you ask me. They also wouldn't let parents in to get their kids, which just...there are no words.
Now I know why people are yanking their kids from the public school systems more and more and home schooling them. I used to think that was a silly thing to do, but ya know what? The more I read and see the more I think they are ahead of the game here. What makes me even angrier is that, as a taxpayer, this crap is allowed to go on without anyone seemingly making a huge stink over it!
I'm from Maine too!
I live in Bangor! I just had to renew my license last year, but I couldn't do it online since it told me that since it was my first time renewing it (I was only 25), I had to go in to get an updated picture taken. I hate that DMV!

Hey just wanted to say "Hi", I am from Maine also.

Durham! lol, not far at all from you! Nice to meet you neighbor!
It's really warm in Maine
For the past week, it has been in the 60s and 70s here. We haven't had to start running the heat in our house yet this year, but I'm sure we will be soon! I remember last year around this time it was freezing and we were already burning through heating oil like crazy! I just wish this weather would last...
Anyone out there living in Maine? SM
An old boyfriend, who is now a minister lives in Bath, Maine. Can you tell me where it is located and something about it? I would appreciate it. I was thinking of maybe visiting his church. 
Yes, I live in Maine.
Bath is in southern Maine, about an hour and a half from where I live. I don't know too much about it. It's a somewhat small town.

It has been the opposite here in Maine this summer!
TONS of out of state cars all over the place, especially on the coast. I just got back from Massachusetts last week myself and did see quite a few out of state cars.
Central Maine, near Bangor.
We are entering the BEST time of year here. Bugs are going bye-bye and the colors are starting to show. We've already had a few frosts, so the tender annuals totally got wasted. I got some firewood stacked, still need lots more, and the tractor and snowblower are lubed up and ready to go to work! My favorite wintertime activity is plowing the snow with the ATV because I'm totally queeah like that!
Your temps there in Utah would be the death of me! I'm "genetically engineered" to be comfortable in the lower temps northern New England has to offer, know what I'm sayin? ;-)
Since Maine is Stephen King's state
LOL
Suggest
For slow dancing - Best of my Love by the Eagles. Also for dancing, Marvin Gaye Live at the Palladium - I can't think of the name of that song; also Brick House, Play That Funky Music White Boy. I think Elton John would be good to listen to during dinner.
I suggest you get one!
This is even forcing people to keep company with a dog. Some people don't even know I have one at times; it is that inconspicuous. Look the other way if you don't like the idea. Some cities are very dog friendly just like some people. I feel sorry for people who can't enjoy their own life and have to bring others down with them. I have found that some dogs make better people than some people 
Would suggest Kne" :)

May I suggest
You try a holistic brand cat food with all human grade ingredients and no byproducts. Table scraps are fine and healthy as long as they are whole foods and not processed. Also cats do not have molars to grind their food, so dry food is not really conducive to their method of chewing. I only give holistic brand wet food. If you ever noticed when your cat throws up its food it is barely chewed, that is why, they can't chew it and have to swallow it whole mostly.
By the way I like your quote too.
May I suggest?
My daughter is a hairdresser. I have short straight hair, but she recommend to me a shampoo called Catwalk-Curls Rock. It can be used for curly or straight hair I also have color on my hair. I got a large 25.36 oz. bottle of the shampoo and the same size in the conditioner. They both have a pump dispenser on them.
What would you suggest?
Would anyone have suggestions for MTs looking for a higher pay rate? If one has good references, background, experience, and skills - what more can they do to earn a starting pay greater than 7 cents?
I agree that it is not much financially but with all things considered this seems to be the going rate these days for an MT with less than 5 years experience.
all i can suggest
is a green-apple spray. check with your vet and/or pet store. good luck!
What I would suggest - sm
I would send out either via e-mail or regular mail a little dinner invite and state specifically "no presents" on it. If people want to show up with presents anyway that is up to them, but you have stated your preference. I actually LOVE this idea!! Best wishes...
What I suggest - sm
There really is no comparison in my mind. My hubby had the snip when he was 30. It took no time at all, was done in the doctor's office with 1 Valium, he spent 1 day off work with an icepack, and was probably completely back to normal in about 5 days and even playing golf. He said it was no big deal. Several of our friends have had it done with similar experiences. It really is the way to go!
i would suggest
talking to your doctor. That kind of swelling can be several things, maybe even kidney problems. I am a bit older than you and 40 lbs overweight, but don't have the swelling. Have some blood work; get things checked out. you may be able to nip a much bigger problem in the bud.
Oops, sorry, it's in Portland Maine.....found a link!

we're heading to Maine in a couple of weeks
Can't wait- love the shore in the summer. What part of Maine are you in? We go to the Wells/Ogunquit area. Would love to stay at Drake's Island just can't afford it in the summer! :) Any restaurant recommendations?
False Information- TAIB (Maine) is not associated with Synthescribe in any way!
just wanted to (hopefully) clear something up. Although I know this is an older post, I am sure that I am not the only Transcriptionist who searches the archives when deciding on whether to apply/interview with a company.
I spoke to Penny Jackson Pray, President/Owner of Transcription at its Best, Inc. in Maine. I asked Ms. Jackson Pray about these references, and she is adamant that she is not, nor has she ever been, associated or affiliated in any way with any other transcription company, including Synthescribe.
It's very important that, when we're making these postings, we are as specific and thorough (educated) as possible, as - in this case - a company's reputation has been unfairly tarnished.
After speaking with Penny, I truly believe that TAIB is a well-run, stable, US-based company that does not offshore.
Ms. Jackson Pray has previously made this posting, although it posted separately from this thread and may be easily overlooked:
"Please note that my company Transcription At Its Best, Inc. is not associated with any other company with this name. This is the recent posting to which I refer --
Please run from this company. This is really an undercover name for Synthescribe, which operates out of TN. They will hire you and fire all their employees without notice. If you want a stable job, don't even waste your time with them. You will only be disappointed.
AGAIN THIS IS NOT TAIB in MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you Penny Jackson Pray - Owner/President"
(http://forum.mtstars.com/seeker/v/1/6301.html)
Again, I just ask that we (posters) be a little more careful and thorough in our descriptions before we slam companies; and also that, as job seekers, we make our own educated, informed decisions- based on our own research.
I have been offered a position with this company and, should I accept it, I will follow up with my experiences.
Ha! I might suggest that to the poor
folks who still work there. This woman would probably put them on KP duty, though.
;op
I would suggest she also speak with
the hospital administration about this issue. I would think it is a definite violation not to have him in an isolated room, which would be indicated outside the patient's room. Not only are they being exposed, but the patient may be being exposed to other viruses in an immune-compromised state.
I would like to suggest one thing to you, OP...SM
Please talk with your husband and tell him that before he makes any more threats about military school or what the next step will be, that it is a decision that the 2 of you make TOGETHER. I have a DD with several psychological issues and what I find is that if DH and I disagree on anything, it's a weakness that she swoops in on. She is a product of your marriage, and your marriage should NOT be defined by her and if you two are not in agreement, that's exactly what will happen. I'll be thinking of you!
You have a lot to deal with here. I suggest (SM)
you take 1 issue at a time. You have a good list started...prioritize based on safety and legal issues. Re the will, POA, etc., download some forms from the internet or buy some...they are widely available. Fill out one of them as a draft, leaving blanks where he needs to give input. Then take it to him, go over it with him, and ask what he wants in the blanks. Then compile a final for him to sign and take him to have it notarized, if needed. Then move on to the next thing on the list. I wouldn't make a big deal out of anything, just make dealing with one thing part of your regular routine when you visit him.
Re the house, spend some time making a safe, clean space in it for him to live his daily life...kitchen, one bathroom, to start. Get and install any grab bars or other equipment he might need. Get him a medical alert necklace for his birthday. I found one at WalMart that doesn't require a monitoring service...it dials 9-1-1 in an emergency.
This is just a start, but that is what you need to do, just start. I hope some of these suggestions are useful.
I was going to suggest the same things...sm
Next time he threatens suicide, call police and get him Baker Acted. Then mental health professionals can confirm what you suspect (true mental illness), or at least find him some outpatient resources.
If not, get restraining orders, at least your mom should.
I know it hurts because it's your dad, but it sounds like it's more than you can handle on your own.
Too funny, I was just going to suggest NOT doing that
Someone already has everyone's address or they wouldn't have gotten an invitation to the shower in the first place. I've heard rumblings at showers when this has been done and some guests just don't like it. Everyone has their opinion and not stepping on toes, but I think it's tacky.
Agree with everything else...the list of gifts for personal thank you notes is very important. And I had the paper plate with the ribbons. Games are always good, too.
Maine here. We're supposed to get up to a foot of snow by tomorrow
It's freezing up here right now.
Need gardening help. Can anyone suggest a flower sm
particularly one that will come back every year but doesn't have to, to plant in an old, antique bathtub? It's a standard size, sits in a lovely area under shaded trees. It's full of dirt already and I am looking to plant something resilient, yet pretty. The previous owners grew tulips, I believe, in them. I haven't done anything with this tub for 5 years and all of a sudden I developed this green thumb. I have planted gorgeous flowers all over my property and in really pretty containers. I've been spending almost all day outside these past few weeks. I live in AL if that helps you any. Do you have any suggestions? doesn't have to be all flowers - can be greenery with flowers. Like I said, lots of shade......Thank you!!!!!!!!
Then I would suggest for clean water and
beaches you take them to Cancun. Florida has some bad water and beaches a lot of times. The water in Cancun crystal clear and the sand, no matter how hot it is, never burns your feet.
Want to buy DH IPOD. Can anyone suggest brands?
xx
male
I have not seen a female yet - the males come to my porch and eat .. mostly on days like today when it is cold and snowy. . I love to see them.
It's a male...sm
I have a big orange tabby right now who is a male and I had one about 15 years ago, who was also a male. BTW, the mother of this litter is a calico and I have a female calico in the house.
You beat me to it! I was going to suggest Estelle Harris
and Renee Taylor (even though YEAH she was blonde). She has the nose but Estelle has the hair. LOL.
I was going to suggest taking a walk, but jumping around
aa
i suggest making an appointment with your doc ASAP sm
the health of you and the baby might be at risk...why take a chance? you already have enough to worry about and have 3 more months to go! i'm glad you came here for an opinion, but we're not practitioners...i think you need to get off your feet and talk to your doc stat!
Would suggest that Katrina be omitted, at least for a few years! :) nm
s
Odo Ban - I highly suggest it. The smell is terrific. sm
especially if you have animals, etc. My friend gave me hers as she bought it from Sam's Club and I love it. You get a gallon jug and then a sprayer. It's an all-in-cleaning. She even puts it in her towels when washing. I just am very pleased with the smell. Just a little suggestion if you are having guests this holiday season!
when u decide on a city, suggest contacting....
I'd call the Chamber(s) of Commerce of whatever city you decide to stay in and ask them the condition(s) of the area(s) post-Katrina.....just my opinion.
Have fun on vacation!!! :)
I have relatives in fairly rural Maine who never lock, and I feel totally safe there. nm
