养咪咪,长知识 -- 猫奴们一起来学习吧!

养了咪咪快两年,我一直认为他是TABBY,但是有一个长期困扰我的问题就是,他为
什么这么大块头呢?最近我朋友的老公,被咪咪的体重雷到,告诉我咪咪可能
是缅因种。(告密一下噢,我这个朋友家里有两只漂亮的奶牛猫,还在这里潜水)

在维基百科查到缅因的特征,咪咪真的符合好几项呢:

学名:Maine Coons

特征之一:庞大的体重
Maine Coons are very large and energetic cats, sometimes weighing up to
around 11-12 kilograms (25 pounds); the average weight is 6 to 9 kilograms
(13-20 pounds) for adult males and less (7-11 pounds) for females.

咪咪20磅,作为一个小男生,竟然在平均的的范围之内 (上限也是范围,OK!)
当然,请无视我们腐败的肚子。。。



特征之二:超身长
Male Maine Coons may grow to a length in excess of 1 meter (40 inches); as
of 2006, the longest cat on record is a male Maine Coon measuring 122cm
(48 inches) in length. Growth to full size often takes longer than for most
cats, with Maine Coons usually reaching full size at age four or five.

超长生长周期解释了为什么咪咪三岁了还在长个子

粗略地量了一下咪咪的身长,看得清吗?


近看,23 英寸 = 58.4 cm!



特征之三:TABBY花纹
The most common color/pattern in the breed is brown with tabby markings. Maine Coons are recognized in all colors, including tortoiseshell, except for chocolate, lavender, ticked tabby, and the point-restricted ("Siamese") pattern.

我是一只小TABBY,啦啦啦~~~



特征之四:眼睛的颜色
Eye color also varies widely. All patterns may have green, green-gold, or
gold. Blue eyes, or one blue eye with one gold eye, are possible in white
coat cats.

看看我金色眼睛,迷人吧?难怪那两个猫奴一见钟情我呀~~~



特征之五,超级无敌的:眉心的M标记
They share similar facial markings, for example, a distinct "M" shape on
the forehead.


特征之六:智商高,活泼,前爪非常灵活,善於用前爪
Maine Coons are a breed distinguished by high intelligence, dexterity, and
playfulness. They have a tendency to use their front paws extensively (often
curling the paw round to pick objects up) and as a consequence will easily
learn to open cabinet doors, turn on water faucets, flush toilets, or pick
up small objects.

前爪抱着妈妈的手,开啃!


剩下的特征,咪咪并不是非常符合,可能不是纯种的缘故(羞愧) _:$ _:$ _:$
SUSHI倒是非常非常好的模特。当当当,小帅哥SUSHI登场

Maine Coons have medium-long, dense fur, with longer hair, or a ruff, on their chests similar to the mane of a lion (which is why the breed is sometimes humorously called the "Mane Coon"). Their fur consists of two layers - an undercoat and an additional layer of longer guard hairs, which gives the breed their key physical feature. The fur is generally very soft. Maine Coons have long hair on the backs of their legs (called pantaloons or britches) and between their toes which helps to keep warm in the cold. They also have bushy plumed tails and broad, angular heads, squared-off muzzles and wide-set ears topped with tufts of fur (known as 'Lynx-tips').

SUSHI是典型的长毛,胸前象狮子


Their tails can be so bushy that the Maine Coon has earned the nickname the 'tail with a cat attached to it'.

看SUSHI的大尾巴多蓬松!


漂亮的M标记,皇家啊皇家~~~


功课做完啦!家有缅因宝宝的家长,认真学习猫奴办发的讲义,要考试的噢!_(b) _(b) _(b)
