養咪咪,長知識 -- 貓奴們一起來學習吧!

(2008-03-26 21:24:04) 下一個
養了咪咪快兩年,我一直認為他是TABBY,但是有一個長期困擾我的問題就是,他為
什麽這麽大塊頭呢?最近我朋友的老公,被咪咪的體重雷到,告訴我咪咪可能
是緬因種。(告密一下噢,我這個朋友家裏有兩隻漂亮的奶牛貓,還在這裏潛水)

在維基百科查到緬因的特征,咪咪真的符合好幾項呢:

學名:Maine Coons

特征之一:龐大的體重
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,作為一個小男生,竟然在平均的的範圍之內 (上限也是範圍,OK!)
當然,請無視我們腐敗的肚子。。。



特征之二:超身長
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.

超長生長周期解釋了為什麽咪咪三歲了還在長個子

粗略地量了一下咪咪的身長,看得清嗎?


近看,23 英寸 = 58.4 cm!



特征之三:TABBY花紋
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.

我是一隻小TABBY,啦啦啦~~~



特征之四:眼睛的顏色
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?難怪那兩個貓奴一見鍾情我呀~~~



特征之五,超級無敵的:眉心的M標記
They share similar facial markings, for example, a distinct "M" shape on
the forehead.


特征之六:智商高,活潑,前爪非常靈活,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.

前爪抱著媽媽的手,開啃!


剩下的特征,咪咪並不是非常符合,可能不是純種的緣故(羞愧) _:$ _:$ _:$
SUSHI倒是非常非常好的模特。當當當,小帥哥SUSHI登場

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是典型的長毛,胸前象獅子


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

看SUSHI的大尾巴多蓬鬆!


漂亮的M標記,皇家啊皇家~~~


功課做完啦!家有緬因寶寶的家長,認真學習貓奴辦發的講義,要考試的噢!_(b) _(b) _(b)
