More About The Breed

The Maine Coon cat is one of the largest domestic cat breeds, with a world record holder among them for "longest cat." Leo is 4 feet from head to tail. They are a natural breed from the state of Maine (hence the name).

They are known to be excellent mousers. With soft voices that belie their large size, they're intelligent and friendly, and loyal companions.

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.
