Maine Coon

The largest domestic feline

The Maine Coon fascinates with its giant proportions, its feathers on its ears and its royal collar. However, behind this wild physique hides a calm cat, a homebody and particularly attached to his masters.

A cat-dog who communicates a lot

Very expressive, he loves to emit small characteristic coos to attract attention. It usually follows the humans in the house to each room to make itself comfortable nearby.

Arrange your environment for your size

Standard cat trees will not withstand its weight (often greater than 8 kg for males). Choose reinforced equipment, XXL litters and raised bowls to protect your back.

Regular maintenance of your coat

Its long fur tends to get tangled easily. Get into the habit of brushing him several times a week from a young age to prevent painful knots from forming.

Maine Coon Feeding and Hydration

The largest cat grows slowly (up to 4 years). He needs kibble rich in protein and adapted to his powerful jaw. Promote access to fresh water (water fountain) to protect the kidney system, a sensitive point for felines.

An affectionate “cat-dog”

Very sociable and playful, he loves following his humans from room to room. He enjoys the company of other animals. He is a climber who will need sturdy cat trees adapted to his weight.

Grooming your fur

Its mid-length coat requires brushing twice a week to avoid the formation of fluff, which is dangerous for its transit if ingested.

The Mysterious Roots of the Maine Coon

Legend has it that it came from crosses between cats and raccoons (scientifically impossible). In reality, it is descended from long-haired cats brought to New England by settlers to protect grain supplies.

Predation games

Despite its good nature, the Maine Coon is a formidable predator. Feather dusters, ball circuits and lasers will help him express his natural behavioral repertoire.
