🐾✨ Meet Orion and Titan, the Majestic Maine C***s owned by our RVT, Jaime! ✨🐾
Today’s post stars some of the fluffiest, friendliest giants of the cat world; Maine C***s! With their big tufted ears, long luxurious tails, and gentle personalities, it’s no wonder they’re often called the “gentle giants” of the cat kingdom.
💙 Personality
Maine C***s are known for being affectionate, playful, and highly social. They often act more like dogs than cats—many will happily follow you around the house, “talk” with their chirps and trills, and even play fetch! Despite their size, they’re gentle and love being part of family life.
💙 Did You Know?
They’re one of the largest domestic cat breeds, with some males reaching up to 20lbs or more!
Their thick, water-resistant coats were made for cold climates.
They’re sometimes called the “dogs of the cat world” for their loyalty and friendliness.
💙 Health Notes
Like all breeds, Maine C***s have a few health conditions they can be more prone to:
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM): a heart condition common in the breed.
Hip Dysplasia: their large size can sometimes cause joint issues, with Hip Dysplasia being a common problem within the breed.
Dental Disease: regular dental care is important to keep those pearly whites healthy.
👉 This is why it’s so important to purchase Maine C***s from *reputable breeders* who perform all the recommended health screenings, including genetic testing for HCM and OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) testing for hips and knees. Responsible breeding helps reduce the risk of these conditions and ensures healthier, happier kitties.
Routine vet visits, proper nutrition, and preventive care help keep these big beauties thriving for many years.
