Many of us will have a furry friend at home but few will have a " Maine Coon". We show you a series of photos of these wonderful cats. I'm a race native to North America. They have a very distinctive size and appearance compared to other domestic cats. They are one of the oldest natural semi-long-haired breeds. Its name means " Maine raccoon “.
The origins of the Maine Coon they have created countless legends, none of which can be proven. The most likely theory would indicate the Maine Coon as the result of a cross between short-haired cats and overseas long-haired cats.
According to other scholars, the Maine Coon arrived in North America following the landings of the Vikings on the islands of Newfoundland.
According to others, the origin dates back to the period of colonization, when the colonists' ships docked on the American coasts, bringing cats to slaughter mice.
When grown up they can exceed eight kilos and reach a length of one hundred and twenty centimeters. Let's say, almost a tiger cub.
The thick, long tail that wraps around itself allows it to protect itself from cold winters like its long, thick coat.
The ears are also hairier both inside and on the tips, to protect themselves from the cold. The paws use them as "snow skates" so large and round.
Despite being a large cat, he is quite sociable, in fact he has the nickname of "gentle giant". Very active and curious, he is ideal for company with people.
In short, he is a beautiful and very sweet cat. Even here in Italy it is now widespread. For the first time it appeared in 1986 in a magazine dedicated to cat enthusiasts and since then this breed has been increasingly in demand.
