The Maine Coon is one of North America’s oldest natural breeds and the official state cat of Maine. These are big but remarkably gentle cats: sociable, clever, fond of “talking” in soft trills and often curious about water. The long, water-resistant coat with its full ruff needs brushing twice a week; Maine Coons mature slowly and suit families with room for a large companion.
