We Maine Coons Are a Breed Apart

Let’s be real: we’re the gentle giants of the feline world. Those ear tufts? Majestic. Those paw mittens? Built for snow (or dominating your keyboard). But our grandeur comes with demands—specifically, a diet that fuels 18–24 months of vertical/length growth followed by 2–3 years of muscle building. After a year and a half of … ahem… “taste-testing” my human’s pantry (RIP, that loaf of bread), here’s why Farmina became our nutritional cornerstone.

Farmina: Designed for Maine Coon Mastery

1. Growth That Matches Our Timeline
   • 18–24 Months: Farmina’s 44% protein (DM) and 1.3% phosphorus support bone elongation and joint health—no wobbly knees here.
   • Years 2–5: Ancestral grains (spelt/oats) provide steady energy for muscle development, turning us from lanky teens into solid, 20-pound furpedoes.
2. No Gums, No Regrets
   • After my incident with guar gum (we’ll call it “The Great Litter Robot Rebellion”), Farmina’s gum-free recipes restored my dignity. Now I can focus on important tasks, like sprinting across walls at 3 AM.
3. Surprise Perks Even I Didn’t See Coming
   • Coat Upgrade: Farmina’s omega-3s transformed my fur from “feral frizz” to “runway ready.”
   • Endless Zoomies: My sister, Arie, and I just turned 2 and channel our inner kittens daily—think parkour off bookshelves and synchronized curtain scaling.

Farmina’s Maine Coon Magic

And Another Thing! Well, two’nother things: Orijen and RAWZ

(Yes, in fact, we are fancy enough for three brands)

Wait… Why Are We Talking About Other Brands?

Farmina is our MVP, but even MVP’s need a team. Orijen and RAWZ are strategic teammates in our quest for Maine Coon greatness:

1. Diverse Proteins = Happy Guts
   • Rotating proteins (chicken, rabbit, lamb) keeps our digestive systems adaptable. If Farmina’s ever out of stock, our stomachs won’t stage a revolt.
2. Supply Chain Armor
   • By including Orijen/RAWZ daily, we’re prepped for any disruption. No sudden switches = no hairball apocalypses.
3. Nutritional Gaps? Never Heard of Her.
   • Each brand brings unique strengths, ensuring we get every nutrient a 20-pound furpedo needs.

Why Orijen?

• Novel Proteins (Wild Boar/Lamb): Reduces allergy risks for sensitive giants like me.
• WholePrey Philosophy: Organs and bone mimic our ancestral diet, packing in taurine and glucosamine.
• Freeze-Dried Coating: Makes kibble taste like prey—irresistible even for picky eaters (cough Pepe).

Why RAWZ?

• Meal-Free Recipes: Dehydrated chicken/turkey retain nutrients better than rendered slop.
• Low Glycemic Carbs: Keeps blood sugar stable (looking at you, Blue, our DSH roommate).
• Gum-Free Pâtés: Gentle on tummies that can’t handle additives.

How They Fit Into Our Daily Feast

Dry Food Mix

• 60% Farmina Tropical Selection Chicken (ancestral grains for steady energy).
• 30% Farmina N&D Prime Kitten (growth-specific muscle fuel).
• 5% Orijen Original Cat (grain-free, high-protein, all-life-stages formula).
• 5% RAWZ Dehydrated Chicken, Turkey, & Chicken (low-glycemic safety net).

Wet Food Rotation

• Farmina N&D Prime Kitten Wet (1/2 can/day): Growth support, with 98% animal protein.
• Farmina N&D Quinoa Digestion (1/2 can/day): Sensitive-stomach support, gentle, gut-soothing.
• Orijen Assorted Canned Foods (2x/week): Novel proteins + omega-3s.
• RAWZ Assorted Canned foods (2x/week): Allergy-friendly, gentle, protein-packed nutrition.

Why This Trio Works

Brand	Maine Coon Perk	Secret Weapon
Farmina	Tailored growth support	Ancestral grains for sustained chaos.
Orijen	Immune-boosting variety	Freeze-dried crunch for picky eaters.
RAWZ	Sensitive-stomach safety net	Meal-free, low-glycemic stability. |

Final Thought from the Throne:

Farmina lets us live our best nine lives—glossy, chaotic, and utterly unbothered. And if the kibble gods frown? Orijen and RAWZ ensure we stay regal. Now if you’ll excuse me, I  see a water glass that needs to be pushed off the counter.  

Pawsitively yours,
