Featuring striking, full color photography on almost every page,
The Maine Coon Cat is a delightful introduction to the second most
popular breed of cat (after Persians). Chapters reconstruct the
little-known history of this heavyset feline, stories of rescuing
or living with Maine Coons, Maine Coons in literature, tips for
caring for a Maine Coon, and perhaps most importantly, how to
ensure that one's prospective pet comes from a responsible,
registered breeder who cares about the animals, and not a "backyard
breeder" who eschews animal welfare for a quick profit. "Noting
where the kittens are being raised is important. If they are housed
in a part of the house with only the mother cat, this would sound
an alarm for proper socialization. Also, if there are more than two
or three litters at one time, it might be more of a kitten mill
than a quality breeder who is going to devote a lot of time to
their cats." Highly recommended, especially for casual cat
fanciers!
