What
Makes A Purebred Registered Maine Coon Cat Special?
A healthy beautiful purebred animal that is well raised
involves dedication, a lot of work and huge expense of many
people, who value a particular breed for its unique and
predictable characteristics and temperament. Therefore, like
anything else, you get what you pay for. If you do not desire to
own a massive cat, with exquisite lynx tips, silky medium-long
all weather silky coat, strong full square muzzle, long bushy
tail and a gentle, dog-like personality, health warranty of a
well bred and well raised Maine coon, then there is really no
point in adopting a Maine Coon, as any kitten can bring you joy
of owning a cat. However if you enjoy a giant sized cat with
wild looks and yet the most intelligent, gentle and sweet
personality, then you have come to the same conclusion we have
in that the Maine Coon is the only cat that will do and you are
simply hooked!
The Maine Coon's gentle, kind loving nature make them a
wonderful breed for first time cat owners, families with
children, the elderly, the homebound, people with disabilities,
those suffering from PTSD, loneliness and for those that have
had bad experiences with cats which has made them afraid of cats
in general. The Maine Coon is a Homozygous breed of cat, meaning
that it produces consistently with regards to structure, type
and temperament (gentleness, high intelligence). This genetic
predictability makes the Maine Coon an excellent choice for
various types of families and makes them very amenable to
training (tricks, walking on a leash, responding to commands).
The Maine Coon Cat makes a wonderful Emotional Support Animal
(ESA).
Once you are loved by a Maine Coon Cat you will never be alone!

best friend. He follows him constantly, sleeps with him and will
just sit and watch him play. He has been a great addition to our
family!" Photo (cream tabby and white kitten) courtesy of Lorie
& family, Barrie, Ontario . Thank you. (We can remember when
this adorable little boy came with his family to pick up his
kitten. Having never experienced cats, he was fearful and
apprehensive ... now look at him ... a true testimony to this
very special breed!

* Red /Orange (Cream) Cats
Study: In a University of California Study, Berkeley, researcher
surveyed 189 people with experience of cats as pets and found
that they were more likely to assign positive personality traits
to red/orange cats. Red/Orange cats were most often
characterized as friendly. Red/Orange cats are usually male,
with females existing at a ratio of 1 out of every 5 red/orange
cats and are therefore considered rare.
* Our Red Tabbies are well known for their vibrant and intense
red body coloring and lighter contrasting paws (and bright white
contrasting paws in the bi-colored variety).


What
Colors Do You Find On Cats?
black and red.
These are called “dominant” colors.
The color of all cats relates to these two colors in some way,
by changing the color or covering it up.
There is also a “dilute” of each
color. The dilute of black is blue.
The dilute of red is cream. These
are called “recessive” colors.
Sometimes, the dominant colors of black and red are combined on
one kitten, and that is called
tortoiseshell (black-red). When the recessive dilute
colors of blue and
cream are combined, it is called
blue-cream. Females only come in
these colors. Please refer to our FAQ page for further
information on this.
The following are color equivalents. For example a "brown tabby"
is a black tabby; a "silver tabby" is a blue tabby; an orange
tabby is a red tabby genetically speaking, however, brown ,
silver, blue-silver, and orange are used to describe variation
in color intensity.
black = brown
blue = silver = blue-silver = grey
red = orange
black tortoiseshell/tortie (torbie)= brown
tortoiseshell/tortie (torbie)
blue cream tortoiseshell/tortie (torbie) = blue tortoiseshell/tortie
(torbie) =silver tortoiseshell/tortie (torbie) = blue-silver
tortoiseshell/tortie (torbie)
** torbie: indicates an underlying tabby
pattern
The majority of Red Cats are more
likely to be a male, therefore Red Females
are a minority. This makes them special! :-) ... see
FAQ page to find out why?

The
Developmental Stages of a Kitten:
Birth to Two Weeks
The kitten's main activities are eating and sleeping. He is deaf
and blind but can crawl a little.
The remnants of the umbilical cord will fall off at round 3 days
of life. Between the 5th and 10th day, his eyes will open and he
will begin to see his new world. At this stage his eyes are a
deep blue colour. He will begin to crawl around a little more.
He may try to walk but will be wobbly. By the end of the first
week, his shiver reflex has developed, allowing him to better
regulate his body temperature.
Two to Three Weeks
The ear canals should have completely opened by now and he will
be able to hear all the household sounds. The kitten is more
aware of his surroundings and will start to explore his
environment. He is able to purr and can stand up and walk a
short distance. Baby teeth will start to appear. At the end of
the third week, the kitten's eyes will begin to change to their
permanent colour. Also, he will begin to eliminate on his own,
without having to be stimulated.
Four to Five Weeks
The kitten is ready to start learning to use the litter box.
Kittens at this age can climb, walk and run in short bursts.
They will really enjoy playtime with their littermates and will
begin to play with toys. This is usually a good age to start
weaning kittens. Weaning can be a difficult time for a kitten.
The process of weaning is a gradual one. During the weaning
process, he may dip his paws or walk in his food. Although
messy, this is a natural part of weaning and his way of
exploring his new food.
Six to Seven Weeks and Onwards
By the seventh week, kittens should be completely weaned. This
is a very active and playful stage and important for proper
socialization. The more he plays and explores the more he will
grow, mentally and physically. Cats are social animals and the
more people interact with them the more socially developed they
will become.
Continued socialization during the first year of life is of
utmost importance. In addition to play and handling, firm
discipline must be established. In order for discipline to be
effective, clear rules must be set from the beginning and they
must remain consistent. Positive reinforcement works better than
negative. Respect for the kitten's nature, unique personality
and unconditional love are essential elements to keep in mind.
This helps to establish mutual respect and trust. Strong bonding
and lifelong loving relationships are the ultimate goals you
should be trying to achieve.
