Maine Cat: Flower-armed man in the pet industry, with domineering appearance and soft heart.

The world has changed, and now "flower-armed man" is no longer a scary label. Many flower-armed bosses on the Internet are often very cute. Some of them are female slaves dressed casually, and some are cat slaves who are cute enough to be screamed by cats. ...

Therefore, the current "flower-armed man" is synonymous with contrast.

Cat: Do you think I am moved?

There are cats like this in the pet industry. They are huge and domineering, but in fact there is a little girl living in their hearts, always wanting to be cared for by their owners.

They are Maine cats.

Maine Cat, named after its origin in Maine, USA, is the first long-haired cat breed naturally produced in North America. It formed a relatively stable breed in the middle of18th century.

Maine cat is a big cat with strong physique and thick fur, which looks like Siberian forest cat.

20 10 On August 28th, an animal set two Guinness World Records. Mimi gilligan is the longest cat in the world, with the longest body and the longest tail. Length 1.23 meters, equivalent to the height of a normal 5-year-old girl.

Mimi Stewart gilligan-the largest institution in the world.

There are several interesting legends about the origin of Maine Coon.

/kloc-In the 8th century, when the French Revolution broke out, Queen Marie Antoinette fled by boat in a hurry. Before boarding the ship, she did not forget to ask Captain Clough to bring her beloved six Turkish angola cat microphones.

Unfortunately, Mary failed to escape from France. Instead, six pet cats crossed the ocean and arrived safely in Maine. These six Turkish angola cat Mimi and the local short-haired cat * * * have bred the present Maine Cat.

There is also a legend that a crew member of Captain Kuhn's ship brought his pet, the long-haired cat. However, when the ship sailed to Maine, the long-haired cat left its owner and "wandered" to the local area to breed with the local short-haired cat. Their offspring are Maine cats.

There are many such legends, but they all have one thing in common, that is, the Maine Cat which is a combination of foreign cats and local short-haired cats.

After many studies, the current more reliable statement is this. 65438+In 1950s, Maine in the United States was a famous trade center at that time, and cargo ships from all over the world gathered here. Businessmen not only brought their own treasures and rare specialties, but also brought rare cat species from all over the world, including long-haired cats.

Long-haired cats breed offspring with local short-haired cats, that is, middle-haired Maine cats. Maine cats are more suitable for the cold winter climate in Maine because of natural selection and survival of the fittest.

Maine cats are docile, smart and like to get along with people. People who like watching Harry Potter will definitely have an impression on Mrs. loris, the cat of librarian argus filch.

This Maine coon, whose real name is Peppers, is a pet of Mrs. Norris in England. It is said that although its reaction speed is not as fast as other cats in the crew, it is very obedient and can accurately understand the instructions of the animal trainer, so it is the "clown" of the crew.

Seeing this, I wonder if you have a crush on Maine. Yes, but don't be impulsive.

Because it's really not easy to raise a Maine coon.

The price is the first aspect. The domestic price of a Maine cat is between 7000-35000 yuan, and the price is about 10000 yuan, which is higher than other cats.

On the other hand, Maine cats eat too much. Raising a Maine Coon is equivalent to raising three or four ordinary domestic cats. For example, adult cats weighing less than 3 kg are fed 30-50 grams of cat food every day, and adult cats weighing more than 3 kg need 75-0/00 grams of cat food every day. This number multiplied by 3 is the daily food intake of Maine Coon.

Not only in large quantities, but also in many times. So much food, you can't feed it all at once. Maine coons need to be fed four times a day, and each feeding time should be controlled at about 20 minutes.

A very interesting thing happened in Austria. A master reported that the Maine cat was stolen, but a few days later, the cat was quietly sent back by the thief. The host was overjoyed, but puzzled. In this regard, the police explained that Maine cats can eat too much. Although thieves like them, they can't keep them, so they can only return them to their owners. The food intake of Maine cats can be seen from this ~

The result of eating is that urine and feces are much more than other cats, and cat litter is particularly consumed.

Besides, Maine Coons like to be clean. Once the bedpan is full of excrement, they will refuse to go to the toilet here, so changing the bedpan in time has become a daily necessity. Not only that, because it is too big, the cat litter box should be large and of good quality, which is convenient for it to walk and spread sand.

Maine cat's hair is very thick, and cheap borax is not suitable for it, so it is easy to get dust on its hair. Cat litter with large particles and no dust, such as crystal sand and loose sand, is more suitable for it, which increases the expenditure invisibly ~

The last trouble comes from Maine cat's hair. Thick hair feels super handy, but it also brings great trouble. It loses a lot of hair every day, and it is very laborious to clean up. It is best to equip it with a sweeping robot.

Of course, in addition to household cleaning, Maine cats should also pay great attention to their hair care. The bathing cycle can be appropriately extended in winter, but it is necessary to take a bath once a week in hot summer. Special pet hair cleaning solution can make Maine cat's hair more shiny and smooth, and it would be better if it could be combined with a few drops of fur protection agent.

Although Maine's maintenance is very troublesome, as a woman who lives alone, it is really safe to have such a clingy and domineering "little bodyguard" around her!
