The Maine Coon is known for its large size, easygoing temperament, and rugged appearance, also known as the "gentle giant" of the cat family.

Females typically weigh 9-12 pounds

Males weigh 13-18 pounds with some males exceeding 20 pounds

A Maine Coon's long hair does not need much grooming. A weekly combing is usually all that is required to keep the fur in top condition.

The Maine Coon is America's only native long-haired cat, well suited to withstand the harsh New England climate.
