IMaine Coon (i-English Maine Coon) iyinhlobo enkulu yamakati asekhaya. Inamandla futhi inamandla, umzingeli ozelwe, leli kati lingowokuzalwa eNyakatho Melika, eMaine, lapho kubhekwa njengekati elisemthethweni lombuso.
Lona kanye igama lohlobo luhunyushwa ngokuthi "i-raccoon evela eMaine" noma "iManx raccoon". Lokhu kungenxa yokubukeka kwala makati, afana namaracon, ngobukhulu bawo nombala. Futhi igama laqhamuka esifundazweni "Maine" kanye nesifushaniso sesiNgisi "racoon" - i-raccoon.
Noma kungekho datha eqondile mayelana nokuthi zavela nini eMelika, kunezinguqulo nezinkolelo-mbono ezimbalwa. Uhlobo lwaluthandwa kakhulu ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1900, lwabe seluthambisa futhi luphinda lungena emfashini.
Manje zingenye yezinhlobo zamakati ezithandwa kakhulu e-United States.
Umlando wozalo
Imvelaphi yalolu hlobo ayaziwa ngokuqinisekile, kepha abantu baqambe izinganekwane eziningi ezinhle ngezintandokazi zabo. Kukhona nenganekwane yokuthi amaMaine Coons adabuka e-lynx yasendle nakuma-bobtails aseMelika, eza ezweni elikhulu kanye nabahambi bokuqala.
Mhlawumbe, isizathu sezinhlobo ezinjalo bekungukufana ne-lynx, ngenxa yezinhlayiya zezinwele ezikhula kusukela ezindlebeni naphakathi kwezinzwani nemisipha ezincwadini zezindlebe.
Futhi kukhona okuthile kulokhu, ngoba babiza i-lynx yasekhaya, leli kati elikhulu.
Enye inketho imvelaphi yamabhoksi afanayo nama-raccoon. Mhlawumbe ezokuqala zazifana kakhulu nama-raccoon, ngenxa yobukhulu bawo, umsila onobuthi nombala.
Inganekwane ethe xaxa, futhi manje izwi eliqondile lala makati lifana nokukhala kwenjoloba encane. Kepha, empeleni, lezi zinhlobo ezihlukile zofuzo, futhi inzalo phakathi kwabo ayinakwenzeka.
Enye yezinguqulo ezithandana kakhulu isibuyisela emuva ekubuseni kukaMarie Antoinette, iNdlovukazi yaseFrance. UCaptain Samuel Clough bekufanele athathe indlovukazi nengcebo yakhe eFrance, lapho ayesengozini khona, ayise eMaine.
Phakathi kwengcebo leyo bekukhona amakati ayisithupha kanokusho e-Angora. Ngeshwa, uMarie Antoinette wabanjwa futhi ekugcineni wabulawa.
Kepha, ukaputeni washiya iFrance waya eMelika, kanye namakati, ababa okhokho bohlobo.
Yebo, ekugcineni, enye inganekwane engukaputeni ogama lakhe linguCoon, owayethanda amakati. Wahamba ngesikebhe ngasogwini lwaseMelika, lapho amakati akhe ayeya ngasogwini njalo, emachwebeni ahlukahlukene.
Amakati angajwayelekile anezinwele ezinde ezavela lapha nalaphaya (ngaleso sikhathi ama-bobtails anezinwele ezimfishane ayevamile), abantu bendawo babiza "elinye ikati laseKuhn".
Uhlobo oluqondakala kakhulu yilolo olubiza okhokho bohlobo lwamakati amakati amafushane.
Ngenkathi abahlali bokuqala befika osebeni lwaseMelika, bafika nama-bobtails anezinwele ezimfishane ukuvikela izinqolobane nezindawo zokugcina imikhumbi kumagundane. Kamuva, lapho ukuxhumana sekuba njalo, amatilosi aletha amakati anezinwele ezinde.
Amakati amasha aqala ukukhwelana namakati anezinwele ezimfishane kulo lonke elaseNew England. Njengoba isimo sezulu lapho sinzima kakhulu kunasenkabeni yezwe, kusinde amakati aqinile futhi amakhulu kunawo wonke.
Lawa maMaine Coons amakhulu kepha ayehlakaniphe kakhulu futhi ehle kakhulu ekuqothuleni amagundane, ngakho-ke asheshe agxila ezindlini zabalimi.
Futhi ukubalulwa kokuqala kwalolu hlobo kwakungo-1861, lapho ikati elimnyama nelimhlophe elalibizwa ngokuthi uCaptain Jenks, weHorse Marines, likhonjiswa embukisweni ngo-1861.
Eminyakeni eyalandela, abalimi baseMaine baze babamba umbukiso wamakati abo eMaine State Champion Coon Cat, owawubekelwe ukuhambisana nombukiso waminyaka yonke.
Ngo-1895, inqwaba yamakati yaba nengxenye embukisweni owawuseBoston. NgoMeyi 1895, i-American Cat Show yabanjelwa eMadison Square Garden, eNew York. Ikati, eligama linguCosey, lalimele lohlobo.
Umnikazi wekati, uMnuz Fred Brown, uthole ukhololo nezindondo zesiliva, kwathi ikati laqokwa njengolokuvula lo mbukiso.
Ekuqaleni kwekhulu lamashumi amabili, ukuthandwa kohlobo lwaqala ukwehla, ngenxa yokwanda kwezinhlobo zezinwele ezinde ezifana nekati le-Angora.
Ukungatholakali kwakunamandla kangangokuba amaMaine Coons athathwa njengokuqothulwa kwaze kwaba sekuqaleni kweminyaka engama-50, nakuba lokhu kwakuyihaba.
Eminyakeni yamashumi ayisihlanu yokuqala, iCentral Maine Cat Club yadalelwa ukwenza lolu hlobo lwande.
Sekuyiminyaka eyi-11 iCentral Maine Cat Club ibambe imibukiso futhi imema abathwebuli bezithombe ukuthi benze indinganiso yokuzalisa.
Isimo seChampion in CFA, uhlobo lwathola ngoMeyi 1, 1976 kuphela, futhi kwathatha amashumi ambalwa eminyaka ukuba ludume umhlaba wonke.
Okwamanje, iMaine Coons iyinhlobo yesithathu ethandwa kakhulu ekati e-United States, ngokususelwa enanini lezilwane ezibhaliswe ku-CFA.
Izinzuzo zohlobo:
- Osayizi abakhulu
- Ukubuka okungajwayelekile
- Impilo eqinile
- Okunamathiselwe kubantu
Okubi:
- I-Dysplasia ne-hypertrophic cardiomyopathy kwenzeka
- Ubukhulu
Incazelo yohlobo
IMaine Coon iyinhlobo enkulu kunazo zonke phakathi kwamakati afuywayo. Amakati anesisindo esingu-6.5 kuye ku-11 kg kanti amakati angu-4.5 kuye ku-6.8 kg.
Ukuphakama lapho kubuna kusuka ku-25 kuye ku-41 cm, nobude bomzimba bufinyelela ku-120 cm, kufaka phakathi umsila. Umsila ngokwawo ufinyelela ku-36 cm ubude, u-fluffy, futhi, impela, ufana nomsila we-raccoon.
Umzimba unamandla futhi unemisipha, isifuba sibanzi. Zivuthwa kancane, zifinyelela usayizi wazo ogcwele cishe eminyakeni engama-3-5 ubudala, lapho, njengamakati ajwayelekile, asevele ekhona ngonyaka wesibili wokuphila.
Ngo-2010, iGuinness Book of World Records yabhalisa ikati okuthiwa uStewie njengekati elikhulu kunawo wonke laseMaine Coon emhlabeni. Ubude bomzimba kusukela ekugcineni kwempumu kuze kufike esihlokweni somsila kwafinyelela ku-123 cm. Ngeshwa, uSteve wabulawa ngumdlavuza ekhaya lakhe eReno, eNevada ngo-2013, eneminyaka engu-8.
Ijazi likaMaine Coon lide, lithambile futhi lisilika, yize ukuthungwa kwehluka njengoba umbala wehluka ngekati ngalinye. Imfishane ekhanda nasemahlombe, futhi yinde esiswini nasezinhlangothini. Ngaphandle kohlobo lwezinwele ezinde, idinga ukuzilungisa okuncane, njengoba ijazi langaphansi lilula. Amakati achitha futhi ijazi lawo liyajiya ebusika futhi likhanya ehlobo.
Noma imuphi umbala uvunyelwe, kepha uma ukuzala okuphambene kubonakala kuwo, isibonelo, ushokoledi, onsomi, iSiamese, kwezinye izinhlangano amakati ayaliwa.
Noma imuphi umbala wamehlo, ngaphandle kwe-blue noma i-heterochromia (amehlo anemibala ehlukene) ezilwaneni zenye imibala ngaphandle kokumhlophe (okumhlophe, lo mbala wamehlo uvunyelwe).
AmaMaine Coons aguqulelwe ngokuqinile empilweni ezimweni ezinzima, ezibandayo. Uboya obujiyile, obungangeni manzi bude futhi bujiyile emzimbeni ongezansi ukuze isilwane singabandi lapho sihleli eqhweni noma eqhweni.
Umsila omude, onamahlathi ungazungeza umboze ubuso nomzimba ongaphezulu lapho ugoqiwe, futhi ungasetshenziswa njengomcamelo lapho uhleli.
Ama-paw pads amakhulu, kanye ne-polydactyly (polydactyly - izinzwane eziningi) zimane nje zinkulu, zenzelwe ukuhamba eqhweni futhi zingangeni, njengezicathulo zeqhwa.
Izinwele ezinde zezinwele ezikhulayo phakathi kwezinzwani (khumbula i-lynx?) Zisiza zikufudumale ngaphandle kokufaka isisindo. Futhi izindlebe zivikelekile ngoboya obukhulu obukhula kubo kanye nezinhlamvu ezinde ezinsikeni.
Inani elikhulu lamaMaine Coons ahlala eNew England lalinesici esinjenge-polydactyly, kulapho inani lezinzwani zezidladla zabo lingaphezu kokujwayelekile.
Futhi, yize kuphikiswa ukuthi inani lamakati anjalo lifinyelele kuma-40%, lokhu kungenzeka ukuthi kuyihaba.
I-Polydacty ayivunyelwe ukubamba iqhaza embukisweni, ngoba ayihlangabezani nezinga. Lesi sici siholele eqinisweni lokuthi sezinyamalele, kepha abafuyi kanye nezinkulisa ezivame ukwenza imizamo yokuzigcina zinganyamalali ngokuphelele.
Uhlamvu
AmaMaine Coons, amakati ajabulisayo anomndeni nomnikazi, athanda ukubamba iqhaza empilweni yomndeni, ikakhulukazi emicimbini ehlobene namanzi: ukunisela ingadi, ukugeza, ukushawa, ngisho nokushefa. Ayawathanda kakhulu amanzi, mhlawumbe kungenxa yokuthi okhokho bawo bahamba ngemikhumbi.
Isibonelo, bayakwazi ukucwilisa izidladla zabo futhi bazulazule efulethini baze bome, noma bangene eshaweni nomnikazi.
Kungcono ukuvala iminyango yendlu yokugezela neyendlu yangasese, ngoba laba bantu abenza imigilingwane, kwesinye isikhathi, bafafaza amanzi asendlini yangasese phansi, bese ngidlala nephepha langasese kuyo.
Bathembekile futhi banobungane, bazinikele emndenini wabo, noma kunjalo, bangaxwaya nabantu abangabazi. Zwana kahle nezingane, amanye amakati nezinja ezinobungane.
Okudlalayo, ngeke kukucasule, uhlale uphuthuma endlini, futhi nesilinganiso sokubhujiswa esivela ezenzweni ezinjalo sizobaluleka ... Abangamavila, hhayi amandla, bathanda ukudlala ekuseni noma kusihlwa, futhi sonke isikhathi abasithukuthezi.
KuMaine Coon enkulu, kunento eyodwa kuphela encane, futhi lelo yizwi lakhe. Kunzima ukungamoyizeli uma uzwa ukukhala okuncane okunje kusuka esilwaneni esikhulu kangako, kepha zingenza imisindo eminingi ehlukene, kufaka phakathi ukugoqa nokuduma.
Amakati
Amakati ayizidlakela, ayadlala, kodwa kwesinye isikhathi ayonakalisa. Kungakuhle ukuthi baqeqeshwe futhi baqeqeshwe ngethreyi ngaphambi kokuba bawele ezandleni zakho. Kodwa-ke, enkulisa enhle lokhu kuyindaba eyiqiniso.
Ngalesi sizathu, kungcono ukuthenga amantshontsho ku-cattery, kochwepheshe. Ngakho-ke uzisindisa ezingozini nasekhanda, ngoba umfuyi uhlala eqaphe impilo yamakati, futhi uwafundisa izinto ezibalulekile.
Ekhaya, udinga ukuthi uqaphele ngezinto ezahlukahlukene nezindawo ezingaba yisicupho sekati, ngoba zilangazelela kakhulu futhi ziyizigaxa zangempela. Isibonelo, nakanjani bazozama ukukhasa ngesikhala ngaphansi kwesicabha.
Amakati angavela amancane kunalokho okulindele. Lokhu akumele kukwethuse, ngoba sekushiwo ngenhla ukuthi badinga kuze kube yiminyaka engu-5 ukuze bakhule ngokugcwele, futhi okuningi kuncike kokudla okunomsoco.
Khumbula ukuthi lawa amakati angenawo amandla futhi ahlekisa kakhulu kunamakati alula. Uma ungafuni ukuthenga ikati bese uya kodokotela bezilwane, khona-ke xhumana nabalimi abanolwazi ezindlini ezinhle. Kuzoba nenani eliphakeme, kepha izinyane lekati lizoqeqeshwa udoti futhi ligonywe.
Ezempilo
Isilinganiso sokulindelwa kwempilo yiminyaka eyi-12.5. Ama-74% aphila aze afike eminyakeni eyi-10, bese kuthi ama-54% aye ku-12.5 nangaphezulu. Luhlobo oluphilile nolunamandla oluvele ngokwemvelo esimweni sezulu esibi saseNew England.
Isimo esivame kakhulu yi-HCM noma i-hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, isifo senhliziyo esasakazeke emakati, kungakhathalekile ukuthi hlobo luni.
Amakati asebekhulile naphakathi kweminyaka yobudala angaphezulu kokunye. I-HCM yisifo esiqhubekela phambili esingaholela ekuhlaselweni yinhliziyo, ukukhubazeka kwezitho zangemuva ngenxa yokuqothuka, noma ukufa kungazelelwe emakati.
Indawo eya ku-HCMP itholakala cishe ku-10% wawo wonke amaMaine Coons.
Enye inkinga engaba khona yi-SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy), olunye uhlobo lwesifo esidluliselwa ngofuzo.
I-SMA ithinta ama-motor neurons wentambo yomgogodla futhi, ngokufanele, imisipha yezitho zangemuva.
Izimpawu zivame ukubonakala phakathi nezinyanga zokuqala ezi-3-4 zokuphila, bese isilwane siqala ukuqaqamba kwemisipha, ukuba buthakathaka, futhi kufushanise impilo.
Lesi sifo singathinta zonke izinhlobo zamakati, kepha amakati ezinhlobo ezinkulu ezinjengePersian neMaine Coons athambekele kakhulu kuwo.
Isifo sezinso sePolycystic (PKD), isifo esiqhubeka kancane sithinta amakati asePheresiya nezinye izinhlobo, sibonakala ngokuwohloka kwe-renal parenchyma ibe ama-cysts. Ucwaningo lwakamuva lukhombe i-PBD kumakati ayi-7 kwangu-187 akhulelwe eMaine Coon.
Izibalo ezinjalo zikhomba ukuthi uhlobo lunokuthambekela kwezifo zofuzo.
Yize ukutholakala kwama-cysts kukodwa, ngaphandle kolunye ushintsho, kungabi nomthelela omubi empilweni yesilwane, futhi amakati abengaphansi kokuqondiswa aphila impilo ephelele.
Kodwa-ke, uma uhlose ukuzala ezingeni lobungcweti, kuyalulekwa ukuthi uhlole izilwane. I-Ultrasound ukuphela kwendlela yokuthola isifo se-polycystic sezinso okwamanje.
Ukunakekela
Yize banezinwele ezinde, ukuzikama kanye ngesonto kwanele. Ukwenza lokhu, sebenzisa ibhulashi lensimbi ukusiza ukususa izinwele ezifile.
Ukunakekelwa okukhethekile kufanele kukhokhelwe esiswini nasezinhlangothini, lapho ijazi likhulu futhi lapho kungakhiwa khona amathanga.
Kodwa-ke, unikezwe ukuzwela kwesisu nesifuba, ukunyakaza kufanele kube mnene futhi kungacasuli ikati.
Khumbula ukuthi zichitha, futhi ngesikhathi sokuchitha, udinga ukama ijazi kaningi, ngaphandle kwalokho kuzokwakhiwa amacansi, okuzodingeka ukuthi asikwe. Ngezikhathi ezithile amakati angagezwa, noma kunjalo, ayawathanda amanzi futhi inqubo iya ngaphandle kwezinkinga.
