About breed Maine Coon cat

  

History

Originally it is the American breed how the name of the cats become into existence. This breed was imported to other parts of the world over a number of years and is gaining growing popularity. These cats were seen in the state of Maine for the first time and so, part of the name is derived from the name of the breed. The second name coon ( raccoon) was assigned because of its bushy tail which is markedly reminiscent of a raccoon. A long bushy tail is typical for these cats. One legend tells the story of Maria Antoinette who extremley loved these cats, so she sent these cats to America to be able to escape before French Revolution. Cats then became the ancestor of the contemporary breed. In some american breedings Main Coon was accredited in 1967. Since the eighties, cats are accredited in Europe too.

General description

The Maine Coon is America's native longhaired cat. The breed, with its essentially amiable disposition, developed through a natural selection process where only the fittest survived. It should always be remembered that the Maine Coon developed basically as a "working cat" able to fend for itself in rough, woody terrain and under extreme climatic conditions. The Maine Coon is a large breed with big ears, broad chest, substantial boning, a long, hard muscled, rectangular body and a long flowing tail. Good muscle tone and density give the cat the appearance of power.
