Maine Coon red: the choice of a kitten

Cats of this breed are incredibly beautiful, playful, intelligent and affectionate. And Maine Coon red is a real sunny gift, whose popularity grows from year to year. If you decide to purchase this kid yourself, you need to find out something about the breed.

Choosing a kitten

Maine Coon, whether red or not, has impressive dimensions - these are the biggest domestic cats. Therefore, when acquiring a kitten, it is necessary to pay attention to how large his parents are.

In addition, it is important to consider that it is impossible to purchase a copy of this breed at a low price. When you come to the breeder, read the documents, the manufacturers and make sure that both parents and litters are vaccinated.

Maine Coon red, whose price is at least 4 zeros, has all the recognizable looks: ears with tassels, very fluffy tail, powerful limbs. If a three-month-old kitten does not have such signs, this is not at all what is required. Before you buy an animal, you need to visit the breeder or in the nursery to make sure of competent care for the litter. If the breeder does not provide this opportunity, he should not buy a "child" from him.

Considering that an expensive, thoroughbred and more often a branded animal is purchased, a contract of sale must necessarily be drawn up. This will protect against possible troubles of both the breeder and the owner.

Feeding the pet

Most importantly, even before the purchase of a kitten, you need to buy for him a bowl for food and water. And now about what to feed the baby so that he grows cheerful and healthy.

• From the month you can feed yogurt or cottage cheese.
• And from one and a half Maine Coon redhead will gladly weave pieces of lean meat (chicken or other poultry will be an excellent solution).
• Sea fish is boiled and freed from bones.
• It is necessary to accustom the animal to vegetables, which can be cooked for the beginning.
• Yolk eggs are best not given more often than once a week.
• With pleasure they will pinch kittens and fresh young grass, which is not difficult to grow at home.
• Low-fat cottage cheese should remain in the daily menu, at least up to eight months of age. Although an adult cat, this product will be useful, just give it not so often.

Bones can not be given. It is strictly forbidden to give butter, fatty dairy products, raw fish, sausage, bones and pork. On such a diet, the maine-coon redhead is not only able to seriously get sick, but even die.

Name of the redhead

The Maine Coon red cat does not require any special name. Of course, many people call a pet on the basis of color, but this cat does not care. If you want something original, and there is not enough imagination, it is quite possible to entrust the child to choose a nickname for the pet. It can be not only banal Ryzhik, but also Mandarinka, and Red, and Mickey, or even Rafik. However, if the animal is purchased from the breeder, the first letter of the name will be mandatory and uniform for the entire litter - because of this the range of possible nicknames is somewhat narrowed.

If possible, the name of the kitten should have hissing or whistling sounds - so the animal will be easier to understand that this is his name. But, after all, this is by far not the most stupid creature, so even if you decide to call it some Tilibom - it will respond to this name.
