Florida Maine Coon breeders

-

This is a map of three Maine Coon breeders in the state of Florida as per a Google map which I have taken the great liberty of reproducing. The address of the breeder is adjacent to the marker on the map so you know where they are. Below are the links to their websites where you can get further details and I have listed their tel numbers.


Fullafire: +13525530996 - no website.

OptiCoons: +13528047893 -- https://www.floridamainecoons.com/

WeBeCoons: +12396998741-- https://www.mainecoon.co/

I am going to bore you and repeat the mantra that you have probably heard before namely that you should always visit a cat breeder to check out their facility, meet the people who create these cats and meet the cats. There is no substitute for this and you should not be embarrassed to ask pertinent and even pointed questions if necessary because this is a commitment for the lifetime of the cat which is up to 18 years approximately, normally. You have to get it right because the life of an individual cat is about to be made. And it will change your life quite substantially so the more research the better and in my opinion you can't do this at a distance. It may take quite a long time to get to the site and make the arrangements but it is worth the trouble.

And don't forget to get a contract which you should read throughout and all the usual other documentation such as a pedigree and proof of the usual vaccinations, micro-chipping, sterilisation and so on. Breeders listed on Google like this will provide all these things automatically but it pays to have them in mind when you turn up. I would always discuss the health of the cats as well. Maine Coon cats like pretty well all other purebred cats have inherited health issues. This breed is quite good in this respect but they are there and you need to know how good the breeder is at minimising the impact of these diseases. Two come to mind immediately but I have a page on this which you can read by clicking on this link. HCM, I heart disease and patellar luxation are the two that come to mind immediately. I recently wrote an article about the discovery of another potential heart disease which may be inherited by Maine Coon cats in addition to HCM. You read an article by clicking on this link if you wish.

Just a quick note as to why I have done it this way. Google are gradually expanding their presence on the Internet by taking extracts from websites and presenting those details on their website in search results. This stops people going to those websites which I think is unfair because often the website providing that details need visitors to sustain them. That is why I think it is fair to return the favour and use Google to build this page. If a Google employee read this then you know why I have done it. And if you disagree with me then please leave a comment and tell me why.

The extreme Maine Coon face

-
Image
This is an example of extreme breeding. This is a Maine Coon but this cat is an extreme and rare example of this breed. This is not the way they look normally. This face is almost like an aggressive robot with the piercing eyes and the huge muzzle.  Or like a lion's head. The head looks enormous and very heavy. It looks unreal. But it also looks very impressive.  And purchasers like impressive-looking domestic cats. But this not the face of a Maine Coon that wins cat show competitions as it does not fit the breed standard as accurately as the more moderate winners (see below).  In fact, the CFA standard is clear in that the cat should have a balanced appearance although this cat was not bred under the CFA breed standard as I understand it (see below).  Click here for more on the kind of MC which wins at shows .

Eerie picture of a Maine Coon sitting like a human on a chest of drawers

Image
This is a slightly scary picture according to those who've seen it. One social media user said it was the devil and "If I walked into a room and saw that, I would assume some shit is about to go down". There is a ghostly stillness and sinister feeling about the image. 'Eerie' is a better description. This attractive cat appears to be completely at ease and comfortable sitting on top of a chest of bedroom drawers. The lighting from below (deliberate?) enhances the eerie effect. It seems possible that this is a photo-edited image but if so, it has been done with great skill. However, I don't think this is Photoshopped. Rethink: to be honest, the more I look at the picture, the more I feel that this is a photo-edited image. It is just too unnatural to be real. Although some domestic cats get themselves into some very strange positions. Maine Coon calmly sitting just like a human on a chest of drawers. Picture source unclear.

Black smoke Maine Coon Richie with a black face and diamond eyes

Black smoke Maine Coon Richie with a black face and diamond eyes. Photo: Instagram. OMG, this is a Maine Coon with an amazing face. His full name is "Richie du Mont d’Even". I think he has a black smoke coat which has created this black face with the assistance of other genes (polygenetic influence?) and ears with piercing, diamond eyes. This is a very special cat. Richie looked very interesting but relatively plain as a kitten. Image: Instagram. His paws are balls of fluff. He has a mane that goes over his head like a halo. He's angelic and other-worldly. The lynx tips on the end of his ears are smoky grey which makes them stand out. They are a bit like the opposite to the black lynx tips of the wild caracal.  He lives in France with his human: Adriana Piraino. He was born on 7th November 2020. He is still very young. They say Maine Coons reach adulthood at around the age of 4. He is going to be enormous as well. Richie with Adriana. Photo: Instagram Richie was bred b
