Maine Coon cats are one of the most majestic cat breeds on the planet. They are sweet tempered, very sociable, highly intelligent, and often have luxurious fluffy coats.
They are one of the oldest natural breeds in North America, specifically “native” to the state of Maine, though in truth this large kitty was simply introduced there, and has now become the official state cat.
On average, males weigh from 13 to 18 lb (5.9 to 8.2 kg) with females weighing from 8 to 12 lb (3.6 to 5.4 kg).
The height of adults can vary between 10 and 16 in (25 and 41 cm) and they can reach a length of up to 48 in (120 cm), including the tail, which can reach a length of 14 in (36 cm).
These staggering statistics make them the largest breed of domestic cat and their easy going temperament makes them the perfect family pet.
If you now think that fully grown Maine Coon cats are exceptional, then wait until you see their cute kittens!
These beautiful creatures have all the extra fuzz that a cat can have and more – and they’re cute, really cute.
