🐾 Maine Coon cats - gentle giants with lots of charmThe Maine Coon is one of the best-known and most popular cat breeds in the world. With their striking appearance, gentle character and remarkable intelligence, they have secured a firm place in the hearts of many cat lovers. In this article you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about the Maine Coon cat - compact, understandable and up-to-date.What is a Maine Coon cat? The Maine Coon is one of the world's largest domestic cat breeds. It originally comes from the US state of Maine, where it was already mentioned in the 19th century. Its name is a combination of the place of origin "Maine" and the old popular belief that it was created by crossing with raccoons ("coon") - which is of course not biologically possible. It is a natural breed whose origins probably go back to robust farm cats that have adapted to the harsh New England climate.How big and heavy does a Maine Coon get? Maine Coon cats reach an impressive size, making them one of the so-called "gentle giants". Males usually weigh between six and nine kilograms, sometimes even more, while females are somewhat more petite and usually weigh between four and six kilograms. Their body length, including tail, can be over one meter, and their shoulder height is often up to forty centimetres. Their growth is slow and they often do not reach their full size until they are three to four years old.What is the character of a Maine Coon? The character of the Maine Coon is extremely friendly, even-tempered and people-oriented. They are known to be very social and generally get on well with other animals and also with children. Their playful and inquisitive nature often stays with them into old age. Maine Coons are intelligent and enjoy learning new things, whether it's fetching or simple tricks. Their way of communicating is particularly charming: Instead of loud meowing, they often express themselves in soft, trilling sounds. Many owners describe them as "dog-like", as they often form a close bond with their humans. How do you care for a Maine Coon? Despite their long and thick coat, grooming a Maine Coon is less involved than you might expect. It is usually sufficient to brush the coat once or twice a week to prevent knots and matting. During the shedding season in spring and fall, daily brushing can be useful. The ears and eyes should be checked regularly and gently cleaned if necessary. Claws should also be trimmed occasionally for indoor cats. Dental care is also an important issue - be it with special dental care products or suitable snacks. Is the Maine Coon suitable as an indoor cat? In principle, the Maine Coon is also suitable for living in an apartment, provided it gets enough activity, attention and space to move around. It is ideal if it has access to a secure balcony or an outdoor enclosure. A large and sturdy scratching post, plenty of opportunities to play and regular interaction with their humans will ensure that they feel comfortable even without outdoor access. Many Maine Coons can also be easily accustomed to a harness and enjoy walks on a lead. What health problems do Maine Coons have? Like many purebred breeds, the Maine Coon can also have certain health risks. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a hereditary heart disease that requires regular veterinary checks, is particularly common. Hip dysplasia (HD), a malformation of the hip joint, also occurs occasionally, as does spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a genetic muscle disease. If you want to buy a Maine Coon, you should make sure that the breeder is reputable and that the parent animals have been tested for these diseases. How much does a Maine Coon cost? The cost of a Maine Coon cat depends very much on the breeder, the pedigree and the general health of the animal. As a rule, the price from reputable breeders is between 1500 and 2500 francs. Animals from particularly sought-after lines or with rare colors can be significantly more expensive. If you opt for a cat from an animal welfare organization, you will usually pay less, but should expect to receive less information about its origin and health care. In addition to the purchase price, you should also factor in ongoing expenses for food, visits to the vet, grooming products and accessories. Which food is suitable for Maine Coons? Maine Coons have an increased need for energy and nutrients, especially during their long growth period. High-quality food with a high meat content is particularly important. You should look for a balanced mixture of wet and dry food that is specially adapted to large cat breeds. There is also special food with joint support, which can be useful for the large joints of this breed. If you are well versed in the subject, you can also feed your Maine Coon on a barf diet, but you should make sure that the nutritional balance is right. It is also important to keep an eye on their weight, as Maine Coons like to eat a lot. Is a Maine Coon right for me? A Maine Coon is the right choice for you if you are prepared to spend a lot of time with your pet, have enough space available and have time for grooming and play. These cats need attention, closeness and an environment in which they can develop. If you are looking for a loving, intelligent and sociable pet that is actively involved in everyday family life, then the Maine Coon is a wonderful choice.

Region of origin: From north-eastern Spain, southern France, central and southern Italy, southern Greece and all the way to the Balkans (2 subspecies).the Greek country-turtle lives mainly in grass plains with shrub vegetation and loose tree-continuance, often also in the hilly terrain steep slopes with stony ground. In the midday-heat, the animals retreat to the "Siesta" in the undergrowth of the bushes. Animals from southern regions and the western subtype are warmer than copies of the eastern subtype from the northern Balkan states. Sex-differences: Males have a longer tail. Attitude: In Switzerland, it is much cooler and more rainy than its natural habitats most of the year. Especially in spring and autumn, but also in wet and cold summers, turtles, especially juveniles, need a heatable, dry container or alternative habitat. But also when keeping adult, well accustomed turtles outdoors, it is advisable to offer the animals a shelter, e.g. a cold frame, with heat radiators in the outdoor enclosure, where they can find a dry, warm place to stay if necessary. As a precaution, the first one to two years of young animals are only put outdoors in dry, warm weather.European tortoises belong in an outdoor enclosure, not on the balcony and certainly not in a room. The fence should consist of a wooden or concrete boarding (at least 10 cm buried, 50 cm high). The enclosure should be placed in such a way that the turtles can sunbathe but also retreat to a shady place. Furnishing of the outdoor enclosure: sleeping place filled with hay flat bowl with water - drinking and bathing facilities hiding places Food: The best food that can be provided to European tortoises (both adult and young) consists of as many grasses as possible. Unfertilized meadows from our climatic region are suitable.In addition and in small quantities, the following feed types promote health: herbs hay egg shells, cuttlebone shells - as lime donor Turtle food - please feed only finished vegetable food (e.g. Agrobs). If there are animal sources in the food, the turtle gets too much protein and grows too fast. Hibernation: As change-warm reptiles from winter cold regions, the European tortoises have a hibernation, which should not be missing in captivity. From the beginning of October the feeding is stopped so that the intestine is emptied before hibernation (water must always be offered, however). From mid to late October (before the first frost), when the animals have already buried themselves or fallen into winter rigidity under tufts of grass, they are placed in a wooden box with slightly damp beech leaves in a cold cellar (2 - 8 degrees Celsius). At the end of March to the middle of April the animals wake up by themselves and can again be transferred to the open-air enclosure. A 15-minute bath in lukewarm water serves the absorption of liquid to enable the animals to balance the water balance more quickly. It is recommended to carry out a shortened hibernation of approx. 2 months even with hatchlings in the first winter, because it corresponds to the natural conditions. Sick animals should not be sent into hibernation. Acquisition: If you want to acquire land turtles, you should heed the following points. Buy Swiss offspring. Holiday souvenirs are first of all illegal and secondly carry the risk of many diseases. If you have little or no experience with tortoises, please buy a book first and then the turtle. Always buy at least two animals; turtles don't like loneliness either. Only buy European tortoises if you have a garden. A balcony or a room is not allowed. Feed your turtle sensibly, otherwise the animals will suffer from health problems. For questions and problems our trained Zoo Roco team is at your disposal. They can advise you professionally in all questions.
