Feline Nutrition PRO Babycat 34
Kitten Food for Kittens Weaning to 4 Months
PRO Babycat is perfectly suited to the special
requirements of young kittens from the age of 1 to 4 months, during the first growth stage. This growth period is particularly
delicate, and during this time the very young kitten is susceptible to digestive disorders. The kitten gradually loses
the ability to digest lactose, and therefore develops an increasing intolerance to it. During this time the milk teeth
erupt from about 2 weeks to 2 months and the immunity transmitted by the mother decreases, however the very young kitten's
own immune defenses are not yet fully developed.

the Rocky Mountain Feline Formula
A grain-free formula for all life stages with
peas and sweet potatoes provides highly digestible energy for your active cat. Made with real roasted venison and smoked salmon,
this formula offers a taste sensation like no other. For today's healthy cat, this formula is supplemented with fruits and
vegetables, providing natural antioxidants to support a healthy immune system and overall good health.

The Breed
Known as The Gentle Gaints in the cat world
The Breed Standards
General Statement:
The Maine Coon is a solid, rugged cat and is America's oldest natural longhaired breed. Type must not be sacrificed
for size, nor size for type, the optimum being a large, typey cat. Females are somewhat smaller than males, and allowance
should be made for the slow maturation of the breed.
Head:
Medium
in length and width, with a squareness to the muzzle. Allowance should be made for broadening in males. Cheek bones high.
Nose medium in length with a gentle, concave curve and no break or bump. Chin firm and in line with upper lip and nose.
Eyes:
Large,
wide set, slightly oblique setting. Eye color can be shades of green, gold, or copper, though white cats may be blue or odd-eyed.
There is no relationship between eye color and coat color. Clarity of eye color is desirable.
Ears:
Large,
wide at base, moderately pointed and well tufted. Set high on head approximately an ear's width apart. Lynx-like tipping is
desirable.
Body:
Muscular,
medium to large in size, broad chested. Body is long, with all parts in proportion, creating a rectangular appearance. When
viewed from the rear, there is a definite squareness to the rump. Neck medium-long.
Legs and Paws:
Legs
substantial, wide set, medium in length, contributing to a rectangular appearance. Paws large, round, well-tufted (five toes
in front, four toes in back).
Tail:
Long,
equal to body in length (distance from end of rump to shoulders), wide at base and tapering. Fur full, long, and flowing.
Coat:
Fur
on shoulders is short, gradually increasing in length along back and sides, ending in full britches and long, shaggy belly
fur. Fur is soft but has body, falls smoothly, and lies close to the body. A slight undercoat is carried. A full ruff is not
expected; however, there should be a frontal ruff beginning at the base of the ears.
