Be sure to immediately give the pet a nickname. This is especially important for those animals that will be walking on a leash. Remember that the chosen name will directly determine the character of an adult cat or cat.

Define personal space. To do this, you can install a house or a sunbed in a certain place, where it is warm, with enough light.

If the breeder has not accustomed the baby to the tray and scratching post, then this task will fall on your shoulders. There are many ways to achieve this. To get used to the tray quickly, you can use special sprays as an option. It is forbidden to resort to physical strength at the time of education. In this way, you will turn the kitten against yourself.

• Lynx ears. Funny tassels at the tips of the ears give this creation a playful look. Check your ears carefully, preferably every day. Remove wax or other debris with a cotton pad and ear drops.
• Large eyes. Even a healthy kitten has dirt or liquid near the eyes.The main rule when wiping your eyes is not to use chamomile. This plant provokes hair loss in Maine Coons.

• Sharp claws... Use rounded scissors to trim the nails neatly for comfort and to prevent them from grinding on furniture.
