This fantastic Maine Coon Cat has a beautiful body, is large, and has very thick silky fur. At almost 4 years old he is a fantastic animal even though I left him at my house two years ago because I had pity on making him return to the condition he came from.
He was a pile of fur, all lumps, at two years old he weighed only 5 kilos (less than my females), his teeth were falling out, he was dirty, and he didn't know how to play or express his emotions. I was really shocked when his owner took him out of the carrier.
Timur, my deceased male, was a splendid cat, almost 1 meter long from nose to tail, weighing 13 kilos. His kittens weighed 9 kilos at one year old. I couldn't even imagine a male at two years in these conditions like Filippo was.

I took him to the vet and he gave me some news: this cat will soon die and his death will be atrocious. In the photo you can see how small he was compared to Mefiti who at the time weighed 8 kilos, she is a large female. But she was twice smaller than Timur.
Filippo was very sweet and let me clean and tear out his lumps. I bought vitamins and minerals, and very good food. I said that I would try to give him the best life I could for the two three months he had left.
I tried to cure his illnesses and the relapses he had for a year. In short, I did everything I could.
Soon he will be 4 years old and he has been with me for two. He is healthy and has grown a lot. Even though his weight is almost 8 kilos, you can see with the naked eye that he is in splendid shape. You know that
Maine Coon cats grow up to 4 years old, so we can assume that Filippo is now at his peak growth. In the photo below you can see that he is bigger than Mefiti now.

So, if you want to have a beautiful and large Maine Coon cat, my advice is to help your Maine Coon cat grow. At least up to six months of age, use multivitamin and multimineral tablets or pastes, preferably specific for kittens. At least up to 15 months (the age until Maine Coons are officially recognized as kittens) use kibble specifically for kittens. All purebred animals that grow very strong within a few months need growth support.
Cats are carnivorous animals and therefore nature created them in such a way that meat provides them with everything they need. Give him raw meat. I buy minced meat from adult beef for my cats because this type of meat is healthier than others.
We hope that our beloved cats feel well and give us a lot of joy and tenderness.
