What kind of food should I feed my Maine Coon cat?

Maine Coons are large cats, so they need a food that is high in protein and fat content–like canned cat food. They also have a tendency to overeat and need access to a litter box at all times, so the food should be low in calories.
The types of food you should feed your feline friend depend on whether your cat is primarily an indoor or outdoor animal. Indoor cats will eat more dry and wet foods, while outdoor cats will eat more canned foods. Cats that are very active also tend to prefer higher-protein canned foods over other types of foods.

First of all, itג€™s critical that you donג€™t over-bathe your cat. Bathing too often can cause dry skin and hair prone to matting or even stripping the natural oils from your catג€™s fur. Itג€™s better for your feline friend if you only give them one bath a month and use a mild soap. A weekly brushing is also very helpful in keeping the coat healthy and fluffier. Remember, cats should be brushed at least two times per week.

How much protein does a Maine Coon need?

Maine Coons are large and active cats and they need protein to fuel their activity. They can easily burn off their body weight in food, so itג€™s important that they have enough protein to spare. Most experts recommend feeding them a diet made up of 40-60 percent protein.

What can you not feed a Maine Coon?

In order to prevent your feline friend from becoming overweight, you should avoid feeding them foods that contain high levels of sugar or carbohydrates.
Maine Coons are carnivores, so they need to eat meat and animal-based products in their diets. This means the food they eat should have a higher protein content than the average diet. High-quality pet foods with a wide variety of nutrients can help your cat stay healthy and happy throughout their life span with an active lifestyle.
