The Norwegian forest cat is larger than the other two species. The Maine cat has a good temper and is very docile, and stays obediently when nothing happens. The Norwegian forest cat is more wild than the Siberian cat, and likes to jump up and down and climb trees. Norwegian forest cats and Siberian cats have slender tufts of lynx-like hairs on the tips of their ears. Siberian cats are rare, with thick and thick coats. Finally------ the Norwegian forest cats I've seen have very nice eyeliner, I don't know if it's a breed feature.

Maine cats

The following judgment method only refers to purebred adult cats, in fact, there is no breeding system for these three cats in China, so many Chinese encyclopedia or cat house pictures are wrong.

1. Of the three cats, the Maine cat is the largest, or the longest. The male cat of the Maine cat generally weighs more than 7KG, generally 7KG-15KG, while the Norwegian forest cat is 6-11KG, and the Siberian cat is generally around 4.5-9KG, so in terms of body size, the Maine > norwegian forest cat > Siberian cat.

2, among the three cats, Maine's legs are the shortest, close to the ground, norway's hind legs are obviously much longer than the front legs, Siberia is medium.

3, among the three cats, Siberian hair is significantly thinner and shorter, Maine and Norwegian hair is more similar, their hair has a flocculent feeling, relatively light.

4, the length of the Maine cat's tail and ears are particularly large, and even compared with the body is more abrupt. There are "slender tufts of lynx-like hair" that are Maine cats and Nocturnal cats, but mainly more pronounced in general.

5, the eyes of the three are also different Maine is an oval eye, Norway and Siberia are almond eyes (that is, the eyes are flattened, the lower eyeliner is picked up more strongly)

6, face shape difference: three kinds of cat species, the longest face is Maine (because of the length of the ears), the side of the look, its chin is basically square, the forehead is raised blunt angle, Siberian cat is the same. The Norwegian cat's forehead to nose is not a turn, it is a smooth curve down.

So, if you want to divide these three kinds of cats, you can use the following simple method:

A, from the length and standing of the ears to easily distinguish between the Maine cat and other two kinds of cats, such as the following picture, such a prominent ear is obviously Maine, there is no doubt, and that kind of immortal beard, is also a characteristic of Maine, the other two cats you will feel much normal, not so long.

B, and then from the shape of the head to distinguish between the Siberian forest cat and the Norwegian forest cat, the face to be triangular is the Norwegian forest, you see it, "how so round", must be Siberian.
