More About the Breed

The Maine Coon cat is a natural breed from the state of Maine (hence the name). It is one of the largest domestic cat breeds, with a world record holder (several, actually) among them for "longest cat.

In addition to their large size, the big Maine Coon are known for several things, including:

  • their intelligence
  • being loyal companions with friendly purrsonalities
  • soft voices that belie their large size
  • being excellent mousers 
  • the "M" on the forehead of tabbies

While their true origin is unknown, some speculate that they are descended from the Norwegian Forest cat, a breed which may, in itself, have descended from the Siberian.

Their long hair and ruff around the neck make them look even bigger than they are. Fans of the Maine Coon are quick to sing the praises of these big, bushy, friendly bundles of fur.
