Maine coons are incredibly intelligent, fun-loving, and will keep their kittenish playfulness well into old age. The Maine Coon Cat Club calls them the “clowns of the cat world.” They’re not an aggressive breed, and will tolerate being picked up, held, and cuddled.
The Maine Coon is a massive cat with a powerful muscular athletic body in keeping with their impressive size. They have large, pointed ears held wide and tall and an intelligent expression.
If you compare Maine Coons with other cats visually, you’ll notice that this breed is significantly larger and fluffier than average kitties. They originate from the predominantly cold New England region in the U.S. and have thick double coats for winter insulation.
