00:00Because it's Wednesday, Meiji, it means it's Wednesday Pets Day!
00:04What are your cute pets?
00:06Our guests today, to find out what they are, let's all watch this.
00:11Their eyes are squinting when they look at you.
00:15Their ears are pointed.
00:17They have thick and long whiskers.
00:20Their feet are also noticeable.
00:23And their size is bigger compared to normal cats.
00:28These are the physical features that are the first to be noticed by Maine Coon cats.
00:33But despite their lion-like appearance,
00:37they are actually very gentle.
00:39This breed is sociable, friendly, very active,
00:44and has great mousing skills.
00:46A certain amount of milk is a must when they milk.
00:50Because of this, the interest to take care of Maine Coons is slowly increasing.
00:56But what is the right way to take care of this breed?
00:59Let's find out here on Wednesday Pets Day!
01:06One Maine Coon breeder. Good morning, Dayan!
01:11Good morning!
01:13Dayan, good morning!
01:15This is Proffeet together with Meiji.
01:17Dayan, tell us how you started taking care of Maine Coons.
01:24And Dinami, there are a lot of cat breeds.
01:26Why did you choose Maine Coons to take care of?
01:30Why Maine Coons?
01:32That's a good question.
01:35Actually, I was only 7 years old when I started rescuing my cats.
01:44My neighbors didn't take care of their cats.
01:48That's why I woke up early in the morning and took care of their cats.
01:55That's how I grew up.
01:59Eventually, I got a job.
02:04I was told that Maine Coons are better because they are gentle.
02:13They are not just gentle.
02:15Maine Coons are better because they are gentle and huggable.
02:20When you hug them, they become more cuddly.
02:26They are also more expressive compared to Persian Maine Coons.
02:33If you don't want to have a dog,
02:35because it's hard to maintain a dog,
02:37just have a cat.
02:39Maine Coons are big and sociable.
02:44Aside from that, Maine Coons look grumpy.
02:47Maine Coons are also big.
02:49Maine Coons are imported cats.
02:53Is it hard to maintain them?
02:55You said that Maine Coons are expensive in the very first place.
02:58How about their food and maintenance?
03:02How much do you pay for their food and maintenance?
03:05For their food and maintenance,
03:07I pay around 3 times more than what a normal cat eats.
03:14I pay around P15,000.
03:18For their food and maintenance,
03:20I pay P15,000 every other day.
03:22But it's almost the same amount
03:24that other cats pay for their food and maintenance.
03:28That's how it is.
03:30How much does a breed like this cost?
03:33Because you said that you are also a breeder.
03:40If it's an island-born breed,
03:42meaning it's locally produced,
03:46it ranges from P50,000 to P150,000.
03:52That's the current trend here in the Philippines.
03:56The quality has been improved by the breeders.
04:00The price has also increased.
04:04We don't have to lower the price anymore.
04:08Now, we have increased the quality.
04:12When it comes to import,
04:17How much does it cost to import?
04:19When it comes to import,
04:21the price is the same as other breeds.
04:27You can still get around P80,000 to P50,000 a pound.
04:34It depends on the quality of the cat.
04:38How many cats do you have now?
04:41And who is the cat you held earlier?
04:43It looks like Garfield,
04:44and it even has the same color as Diana's hair.
04:46This one is Long-e.
04:48This one is 10 years old.
04:51This one is 4 months old.
04:53This one is Drogo.
04:56I also want to take care of Maine Coon cats.
05:00They are also low-maintenance compared to dogs.
05:03Can I keep them?
05:05This one is called Polly Duck.
05:10It has bigger paws.
05:14This one is 6 months old.
05:19Maybe you can give a message to our RST members
05:23about how to take care of Maine Coon cats,
05:25especially those who want to take care of them.
05:27Yes, and where can they contact you
05:29if they also want to buy a Maine Coon breed?
05:32Go ahead, Diana.
05:36When it comes to Maine Coon,
05:38for me, it's like a pet.
05:41You really need to spend a lot of money,
05:45but also your time,
05:47and time to play with them,
05:52to pet them.
05:54If they want a Maine Coon,
05:56they need to be financially ready.
05:59Let's say,
06:01their permit is around P5,000.
06:07So, you need to be financially ready,
06:09but if they don't want to take care of Maine Coon,
06:15you can take care of a Maine Coon.
06:17You can message me on Facebook,

06:27Alright.
06:28That's it.
06:29It's like you're taking care of a baby.
06:31You need to have a budget.

06:35for introducing Maine Coon cats to us.
06:39I hope they stay healthy.
