Playful with Personality
Maine Coon cats are highly people-oriented, but are not overly dependent. Most Maine Coon cats will stay close by, occupying
the chair next to their owner. Maine Coons are relaxed and easy-going, but remain playful throughout their lives. They make
excellent companions for large, active families, and generally get along well with children, dogs, cats, and other household
pets.
Maine Coon cats have a distinctive chirping trill used for everything from courting to cajoling their people
into playing with them.
Maine Coon cats and kittens do not need much grooming. A weekly combing is all that is
usually required to keep the coat in top condition.

History and Breed Information
One of the oldest natural breeds in North America, Maine Coons are generally regarded as a native of the state of Maine
and have even been named the official Maine State Cat.
The breed has a recorded history dating back to 1861 and
even won Best Cat at the first major cat show ever held in this country.
Many outlandish legends surround the
origin of Maine Coons. One widespread myth is the belief the breed originated from semi-wild, domestic cats breeding with
raccoons. This myth was most likely bolstered by the trademark bushy tail of the Maine Coon and their most common coloring,
a raccoon-like brown tabby also called “brown mackerel.
Easy going and relaxed, Maine Coons are well known
for their gentle disposition and great intelligence earning them the name “gentle giants." Maine Coons are especially
good with large, active families with dogs or other animals around.
In addition to being sociable, Main Coons
are also a vocal breed with a wide range of meows, chirps and trills.
Another distinct characteristic of the Maine
Coon breed is their love of water. It is not uncommon for Maine Coons to play in their water bowls by swirling water with
their paws.
