What are the characteristics of Maine Coon?

Maine Coon is the oldest cat species in North America, bred by American farm cats. It is said that farm cat is a hybrid of early angola cat and non-purebred short-haired cat. Maine Huan Panda's excellent mouse catching skills make this long-haired cat born in Maine, USA famous. Through the unique breeding plan, this cat has developed into a strong body, especially suitable for living in late winter and different seasons. The beautiful appearance of Maine Huan panda is often appreciated. However, from an ordinary farm cat to its breed being confirmed by American CFA is not an easy task, and it takes a long time. Although Maine Kuhn cat once fell out of favor and disappeared from the cat show for a long time, this beautiful cat species is active in the cat show today.

Maine cat seems to have a white scarf around its neck. Strong and beautiful body, long head, high jawbone, big ears, medium neck length, long trunk, wide chest, longer limbs than Persian cat and filiform tail. The coat is thick, the shoulder hair is short, the lower abdomen and tail hair are long, and the neck and abdomen hair are long, which is particularly beautiful. The styles of fur color are spotted hair, bicolor hair, tortoise shell color hair, tortoise shell color spots and black hair. Eye colors are green, gold, purple, blue and so on.

Maine Kuhn cat looks silly and funny, but it is very docile and close to people, and it is a good companion cat. But unlike most long-haired cats, it is not suitable for people who live in apartments, because this kind of cat needs spacious places and likes to go into the garden or yard for activities. The habit of sleeping is very special, and I like to sleep in the most remote and weird places. Some people put forward a theory to explain this habit, saying that its ancestor farm cat used to sleep in uneven places. Maine cats also have an unusual feature, that is, they chirp like birds and are very beautiful.

Kuhn cats in Maine give birth to 2-3 kittens per litter. Kittens have great differences in body shape and coat color, and their development is slow, and they can only reach full maturity when they are 4 years old.

Tips: if you eat liver for a long time, cats will be poisoned.

Long-term consumption of animal liver by cats can cause food poisoning.

① Causes of poisoning:

According to its own characteristics, the ratio of calcium and phosphorus needed by cats is 1: 1, but the calcium in the liver is much less than phosphorus, and the ratio of calcium and phosphorus in fresh liver reaches 1: 36. Long-term consumption of animal liver will lead to calcium deficiency in cats.

In addition, the liver contains a lot of vitamin A; Carrots contain a lot of B carotene. In cats, one molecule of carotene can be decomposed into two molecules of vitamin A. So if the hair is fed with liver carrots for a long time, it will cause vitamin A poisoning.

② manifestations of calcium deficiency:

If cats are short of calcium due to long-term consumption of liver, they will have the following manifestations:

Weakening of stomach function, loss of appetite and emaciation.

Fear of heights, fear of jumping off buildings, depression.

If the calcium deficiency is serious, the kitten will have a sunken waist and shoulders and a narrow pelvic cavity, which will lead to constipation.

Rickets: When cold happens, the hind limbs of cats are weak, and in severe cases, they are paralyzed.

Better late than never.

Cats still like to eat liver, and they don't eat cat food, so their owners have to change. Specific measures are as follows:

You can mix new cat food with old cat food every day for about ten days, and gradually increase the proportion of new cat food until the old cat food is completely replaced.
