Maine C**n Profile:

Should be proportionate to the overall length of the
head and should exhibit a slight concavity when viewed in profile ✨
The profile should be relatively smooth and free of pronounced bumps and/or humps❌

A profile that is straight from the brow line
to the tip of the nose is not acceptable, nor should the profile show signs of having a “break” or “stop”

✨ Silver mackerel tabby Maine C**n cats are a specific color variation within the breed. These cats have a silver background with dark stripes forming a mackerel tabby pattern. Here are some facts about them :

🐾 Coloration: The silver mackerel tabby pattern consists of silver fur with narrow, dark stripes that resemble a fishbone pattern along the body.

🐾 Coat Length: Like all Maine C**ns, they have a long, flowing coat with a soft texture. Regular grooming is recommended to prevent matting.

🐾 Size: Maine C**ns, including the silver mackerel tabby variety, are known for their large size. They often take longer to reach full maturity compared to other cat breeds.

🐾 Personality: Maine C**ns, regardless of color, are generally sociable, intelligent, and friendly. Silver mackerel tabby Main C**ns are likely to display these traits.

🐾 Distinctive Features: Look for the tufted ears, bushy tails, and tufts of fur between the toes – distinctive characteristics of Maine C**ns that also apply to the silver mackerel tabby variety.

🐾 Health: Like all cat breeds, Maine C**ns can be prone to certain health issues. Regular veterinary check-ups and a balanced diet are essential for their well-being.

Remember, individual cats 🐈 can have unique personalities, and while these generalizations apply to the breed, there can be variations within each 🐱
