When asked how Richie became a part of her family, the owner shared, “After having two alley cats for 20 years, we took our time before welcoming a new furry friend into our home. Upon finding a local French breeder known for Maine coons, we reserved a cat and selected a black smoke color without knowing just how exceptional Richie would turn out to be. The breeder noticed Richie’s fluffy potential right at birth. We patiently waited four months before bringing Richie into our home, allowing him to grow peacefully alongside his mother and siblings.”

He thrives on companionship and is known for shadowing his owners around the home. Richie’s unique trait of being a cat-dog makes him stand out.

“Richie is quite the diva cat, typical of a Maine coon,” his owner reveals. “Their well-being is crucial, so it’s important to pay attention to their needs and listen to them if they’re not feeling well. Even a minor issue like a cold should be addressed promptly. Richie has a strict morning ritual that involves a thorough brushing to prevent any pesky knots in his luxurious fur. And once a week, we make sure to care for his eyes, nose, claws, and ears.”
Maine coons are adored not just for their stunning appearance, but also for their cleverness and loyalty to their human companions.
