When asked about how Richie became a part of her family, the owner shared, “After having two beloved alley cats for 20 years, we took our time before deciding to welcome a new furry friend. We discovered a local French breeder known for Maine coons and reserved a cat, selecting the color black smoke without knowing just how extraordinary Richie would turn out to be. The breeder predicted from birth that Richie would be quite fluffy. After a four-month wait, we finally welcomed Richie into our home, allowing him to grow peacefully surrounded by his mother and siblings.”

Richie’s luxurious fur requires regular grooming sessions every week.

According to his owner, Richie is a demanding cat, just like any other Maine coon. Their health needs are unique and require attentive care. As his owner explains, it is important to listen to Richie and understand his needs, especially when he is in pain or discomfort. For example, even a minor cold should not be ignored and must be addressed promptly. Richie’s daily routine includes being brushed thoroughly every morning to prevent tangling of his fur. In addition, his owner makes sure to check his eyes, nose, claws, and ears once a week to keep him in good health. Maine coons are not only known for their stunning appearance, but also for their intelligence and loyalty to their human family.
