Welcome to Maine Ideas and Coonclusions: the smartest corner of DLuxxy. This is where we put down the feather wand and pick up the facts — about genetics, grooming, nutrition, and everything else that makes a Maine Coon a magnificent, water-loving, leash-walking, litter-box-filling roommate. No boring lectures. No training manuals. Just ideas, evidence, and our honest coonclusions.
🐾 Quick clarification: Maine Ideas and Coonclusions is about Maine Coon cats, not vacation rentals in Bar Harbor. We love Bar Harbor. This just isn’t that.
This knowledge base is growing one article at a time — just like a Maine Coon kitten. New topics added every week. Check back or join the Newsletter for updates.
Genetics
The DNA of a legend.
From coat colors to health markers, from polydactyl paws to HCM genetics — this is the science behind the magnificence. No lab coat required. Just the facts that make your Maine Coon a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Health
Keep the legend living long
Spaying, neutering, diabetes, poisonous plants, dental care, kidney stones, UTIs, and the real dangers of dry food. Some of this is genetics. Some is daily choices. All of it is stuff you need to know before the vet bill arrives.
Nutrition & Carnivore Diet
Your cat is a tiny lion. Feed accordingly.
Maine Coons are carnivores. Period. We’ll explain why kibble alone is a quiet tragedy, share balanced homemade recipes (raw and gently cooked), and tell you which supplements actually matter. All the meaty truths.
Coat Care
All about that fur (and how to manage it)
Mats, brushes, baths, and the eternal war against cat hair on black clothing. We’ll tell you what works, what’s a waste of money, and how to keep your Maine Coon looking like a luxury plush — not a tumbleweed with legs.
Training
Yes, you can teach a giant cat new tricks
Litter boxes that actually fit a 20-pound cat. Harness walks without the drama. Water play, car rides, and why your Maine Coon might try to join you in the shower. This isn’t obedience school — it’s mutual respect with a little bribery. PS: We sell good litter boxes.
More sections added as we learn. Because a good breeder never stops collecting Maine Ideas and Coonclusions.
