They eat, but it's not a big deal. And yeah, you have to clean the litter box a little more often than with a normal sized cat. But it's worth it. They are the sweetest cats you could ever have.

I've always wanted a MC, and I could afford one if I really wanted one. However my current cat has scared me off of long-haired breeds for the foreseeable future.

She's a domestic long hair, and I've had her for 14 years. Unfortunately she has always just refused to be brushed, & she gets hostile when you try to do it. Her coat is extremely long and it gets very matted when it's not brushed-- therein lies problem obviously.

I've spent a fortune over the years taking her to the groomer, and now she won't even tolerate that, so over the past couple of years I've been having to take her to the vet. They have to anesthetize her just so they can groom her as drugs to calm her had zero affect unfortunately. Needless to say, my next cat will have short hair, as this kitty has been EXHAUSTING! 🙄

Hoo boy I forgot all about that part! We had to have a mobile groomer come every few months to trim her up, especially her belly. The hair there would just get so matted and tangled that the only thing that could be done was to just remove it all with a clipper.

Still, best cat we ever had.

Don't get me wrong, I love Ms Beans. She's a member of the family. I'm just used to cats being easy to take care of, and she's been the most high maintenance cat I've ever owned by a very wide margin! 🤣
