Chances are, if you are a cat person (or know one), you have probably heard people talking about Maine Coons. What is it that makes Maine Coons so distinctive from other cat breeds? What makes them good house pets and possibly the most patriotic act any American can own?
Origin
For starters, let’s look at where the breed got its start. As their inconspicuous moniker denotes, the breed originated in Maine, where it is the official state cat. It is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America. It is thought that the breed was a byproduct of sailors bringing cats along with them on their seafaring voyages. Upon arrival, the cats from overseas took a little shore leave, sought out a little company, and the Maine Coon was created.
Appearance
In terms of appearance, many people find Maine Coons to be visually appealing. These cats are recognized for their large size, prominent pointed ears, and luxurious, flowing fur. As one of the largest domesticated cat breeds, male Maine Coons typically grow larger than females, but both sexes can easily surpass 12 lbs. Their dense undercoats give them a wild, untamed look. Maine Coons also boast a variety of colors and patterns, from Black Smoke to multicolored tabbies and solid Bluecoats, making them a versatile and pleasing breed. Furthermore, Maine Coons might be deemed the most patriotic cat, as they are the only long-haired breed native to the United States.
Personality
Despite being one of the most giant breeds of domesticated cats, the Maine Coon is very relaxed and laid-back. When taken into consideration together, these two facts have earned the breed the nickname “Gentle Giant.” They are cats that interact very well with people and are often compared to dogs, more so than other cat breeds. One thing to consider is that Maine Coons are playful and need exercise, so buying a cat tree and cat toys is a good idea if you intend to add one to your family. Overall, they are a fun-loving breed that will add a splash of playfulness, silliness, and contentment to any home.
