Maine Coon Felix. Grooming. Daily fur care.

A Maine Coon needs a lot of fur care.
Felix is now 2,5 years and he weighs 10,2 kg. (22 lb 8 oz.)
We have found that a quick daily combing is a good way to keep the fur in good shape.
Usually it is done more thoroughly than in this video.
(Felix is well trained for this. You can't do this with every cat)

As a kid I was obsessed with brushing animals. Living on a farm, I was a Pro when I was five years old. At eight I got a Maine Coone kitten. And I became a Wizard!!!! There is nothing more soothing in this world than grooming a furry animal. Not even a buddhist monk after 50 years of meditation training can reach that level of tranquility amd happyness.

Same here, it is good to do it every day! Life is so beautiful with cats! We have 2 elder house cats and 2 Maine Coonies, a girl and a boy nearly one year old now. But the Coonies need much more fur care! Love to watch your videos, thank you for sharing!

When I was owned by a Himalayan mix cat, I used a plastic wide tooth rake that I bought at a cat show. I combed him almost every day. He saw when I was ready to comb him and got into position for his beauty treatment so I assume he really enjoyed the process. A Norwegian Forest cat breeder told me that is what they used on their cats. Every cat is different, but starting early with combing probably helps. Felix is a beautiful and sweet kitty. Value his company and trust. Best regards.

A long haired cat is a big committment. Probably about 1/2 hour every day for grooming, if you don't want the cat to get painfully matted fur. I love how long hairs look, so beautiful, but I prefer short hairs because I 'm not so good with grooming cats.

Most people are not committed to care for a pet. They just see something they want and buy it, without further thoughts and empathy.

I’m thinking about getting a Maine Coon. It’s good to see an example of a fur care routine. Felix seems like a really awesome cat. Can I ask how old is he? Do you train with him a lot?

@MaineCoonFelix 4 жыл бұрын

Felix is 2,5 years. Now, we don't do muchntraing these days. But the brushing/combing is almost every day

@AB-pp3fe 2 жыл бұрын

I have one half mainecoon and one 5months full and they need grooming everyday and then once a week I do a proper brush and the half mainecoon she's just over one and has never been matted but the 5month old he gets little mats behind his ears which is easy to take out as I groom them everyday.

@@theworldneedsmorehippies Yeah that double coat really beads off the water... when I bathe my guy it takes for ever to get a good lather going on him, seriously like 8-10 minutes of me dumping water on him with a cup while he stands in the bath. I wish I could just stick him in there but he hates getting his head wet lol.

Oh boy... what a patient handsome cat you are... he is well trained to the best... but he not enjoying this ritual... the tail say: ok, but hopefully this ends soon... 🐈💖 My Tom is a former stray and I brush him 3 times a week. He likes it on the back and head and tail... the legs and his belly are tabu. He is a former stray and scratches me badly... if I don't stop it So for me it's bed time and I hope he will dream of you...

Hi Tina. Nice to hear from you again. 😍 You're right. He is not to happy with this, but he accept it. He is waiting for the treats he gets when we are finished. Yes, we do trim his claws. You can see that in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKuCp72FzOC0l2w.html

I have a polydactyl Maine Coon who is 2.5 years old and 17 pounds, I need to start grooming him, does it always take two people to groom a Maine Coon? Felix is very calm and I don't think Albert E. will take it that well.

@MaineCoonFelix 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Nancy No, it does not always take two to groom a Maine Coon. We don't have a table for him to stand on, therefore we have him on our lap. It is also an advantage that you can hold him, so he does not walk away. I'm afraid you'll have a problem if you have not started grooming your cat until now. You have to get him used to this carefully, little by little. Make sure it does not develop into a fight.
