About Maine Coons....
While
Maine
Coons may look grouchy in
appearance, this is misleading. Maine
Coons are extremely outgoing and playful. With their clown-like
personality, they make excellent companions for large, active
families. They also get along with dogs and enjoy having other
animals around. They are considered the gentle giants of the cat
fancy and would as soon lie at your feet than on your lap. Slow to
mature, full grown they can weigh on average 10 - 12 pounds for a
female and up to a whopping 20 pounds or more for a male. While
Maine Coons take 3 to 4 years to reach their full size, they never
lose their zest for playful interaction with their human companions.
"The tail with a cat attached", Maine Coons are identified by large
ears often tipped with long tufts of hair, a boxy muzzle, thick neck
ruff, shaggy coat, big feet and extremely long fluffy tails.
