Summary
About Maine Coon
Large, sturdy North American cat with a rectangular body, tufted paws, and a semi‑long, weather‑resistant coat that’s relatively easy to groom. Friendly, playful “gentle giant” that chirps and trills, enjoys family life and other pets, and needs space, stimulation, and regular care.
