When asked how Richie joined their family, the owner shared, “After having two alley cats for 20 years, we decided to take our time before adding a new pet. We found a local Maine Coon breeder and reserved a cat, choosing a black smoke color without knowing how special Richie would be. The breeder noticed from the start that Richie would be very fluffy. We patiently waited four months for Richie to join our family, giving him time to grow surrounded by his mother and siblings.” Check out Richie with his loving owner in the photo.

According to his owners, he’s always by their side around the house, embodying the qualities of both a cat and a dog – a unique trait of Maine Coons. They humorously refer to him as their sous-chef, as he loves to sit next to the spice rack and watch attentively while they cook.
Much like other felines, Richie takes pleasure in theatrically gazing out of windows…

Richie’s luxurious fur requires regular grooming sessions every week.
Richie’s owner describes him as a high-maintenance cat, typical of Maine Coons. These cats require attentive care due to their delicate health, so it’s important to pay attention to their needs and any signs of discomfort. For instance, even a minor cold should be looked at right away. As part of Richie’s daily routine, he gets a thorough brushing in the morning to prevent tangles in his fur. Additionally, his eyes, nose, claws, and ears are tended to once a week to keep him healthy and happy. Maine Coons are not only known for their striking appearance, but also for their intelligence and loyalty to their human families.
