During past 3 years me and my boyfriend were occupied with raising a Maine Coon cat. Here's our story
Pet's name: Marci, we named here after a Dota 2 character
Info about them:Our Ginger Girl turned out to be a Maine Coon, one of the biggest cat breeds. Indeed, on the photos they might look strict or even terrifying. But in turned out that they have extremely kind character. Luckily, they are companion cats who don't object when you pet them or hold on your laps. They also follow you as you do household chores or work remotely. Princess Marci is also quite energetic, and loves playing with toys, tearing wallpapers, swaying a mirror on the wall, and opening the wardrobes in the night to wake you up. However, all this was happening when she was a kitten. Now when she's a grown up cat, she's not that active
Unfortunetely, pedegree cats usually have breed diseases, and our cat is not an exclusion. Maine Coons and other big cats are prone to having cardiovascular disesases, and it turned out that our cat has one as well

fortunately, she's still quite a young cat, and her illness can be teated with medicine. Right now we are visiting a vet clinic once in 3-4 months to have ECG done and feed her with pills 2 times a day.
How the pet became part of the family?Before we adopted a cat, I dreamt of having a dog and I wanted to get a corgi. The problem is in the childhood I had an evil male cat who always tied toring me to pieces, that's why I didn't like cats. But in many years I started to live with my boyfriend, who is obsessed with animals, and who is totally a cat-person. He started persuading me that we don't need corgi and dogs require much time and effort to raise. Suddenly one of the boyfriend's collegues had a few Maine Coon kittens and was ready to give one to us. Our Ginger girl was the 5-th kitten in the litter, and a singe girl. Despite I always planned to have a dog, I never regretted having my Marci 🥰, and now I'm a cat-person too.
Fun fact about the petThis fact is more about the breed rather that about my cat. I've heard that Maine Coons were breeded in the United States and usually lived on farms to help farmers save their crops from mice. These cats have furry ears are adapted to rainy weather to prevent water entering them.
Magical abilities☀
Glass splash: While Marci has been living with us, she hasn’t really done anything bad in our flat except for one thing – breaking things made of glass. During the moments of high activity, she once managed to break all the glass cups in our house so we had to renovate the collection of our crockery. Glass cans, plates and fridge magnets are among the glass things that were thrown down on the floor and turned into extensive glass splashes.
☀
Fur cloud: Whenever I pet my Ginger Princess, I turn out to be in a furry cloud and can’t breathe. Yaay, Maine Coons are really fluffy creatures.
☀
Charm spell: I can’t get away without petting my cat whenever I’m near, I guess I usually get bewitched by my cat.
☀
Invisibility: She tried to get as little as possible when trying to do something prohibited. Can you see anyone at this photo?
