Maine Coon Information

Potential buyers are encouraged to further research Maine Coon cats and to talk with others who own this breed before they make their final decision.

The Maine Coon is the World’s largest domesticated cat.  In fact, the World’s Largest-ever domesticated cat was a Maine Coon called Stewie which measured 48.5 inches long. 

It is believed they are descendants of domestic short-haired cats that bred with Scandinavian cats brought to North America by Norsemen, but in truth, no one really knows for sure. 

Their massive, shaggy appearance includes a long, bushy tail which is usually at least the length of their back, and paws that are large and well-tufted which allowed them to walk comfortably on the Scandinavian snow.

Despite their large appearance, they are very affectionate, sweet-natured, and gentle, making them one of the World's most popular cat breeds.

They’re endlessly entertaining cats who can’t resist clowning around with a love of sleeping in odd places and a fascination with water.

Maine Coon cats are gentle-natured and friendly, which makes them great companions for cat owners. They’re often playful and curious and remain kitten-like throughout their lives, even as older cats, which makes them an endless source of entertainment. 

They love their family but don’t crave attention like other breeds, but that doesn’t in any way mean that they don’t enjoy some lap time, and they will certainly still follow you around the house. 

They’re a brilliant breed who likes to know what is happening in the place. This intelligence means they learn new things quickly which is handy because their high energy levels mean they need regular exercise and playtime. 

Perhaps the oddest part of their characteristics is their voice which is not your typical meow like other cats; instead, they make more of a chirping noise, as well as other noises like yowling.
