Adult Maine Coon cat weigh between 15 and 32 pounds (7 and 14 kg). Males are 30% bigger than females, but very often females are pretty big too. Generally, these cats grow quite slowly and reach maturity only by 3-4 years. Maine Coons are of the SLH group and their hair deserves special attention, especially the tail! Short hair on the head, shoulders, and limbs becomes progressively longer to the bottom and sides. The long shaggy hair on the belly and pants, lush flowing hair on the tail, such thick hair looks like a collar. This coat is a boa, which can protect the cat from snow, rain, and wind. And yet it is surprisingly silky by touch and shiny. Who has ever stroked these cats will never forget such a pleasant feeling. A long strong and muscular body makes the cat very maneuverable; they have strong and long legs. Long tufts of hair between the toes help them walk on snow without sinking. There are brushes at the ends of the ears, making it look like a lynx.

Many people incorrectly name this breed as mainecoone, maicoon, meykun, minecoon or even maycoon :). During the meal, Coon uses his paws as a spoon. Before they start drinking, they beat their paws in the water and rake it. It is believed that this is the instinctive action of the wild times when they broke through the ice before drinking water. So only senior cats do and Maine Coon kittens drink water ordinary. Describing the nature of the cat, it's hard to be objective.

Maine Coon looks like a wild tiger or lion but with a good personality, very smart and great temperament (like dogs), they are very intelligent and self-confident. Maine Coon is the ideal companion for the whole family.

One of the distinguishing features of the Maine Coon is his adaptability. They can easily travel. They are tied more to the people than to the environment or the home, and the temperament of the cat is so balanced that they are easily compatible with all the family members, especially children. They are fundamentally devoted. Perhaps only about these cats, you can say "faithful as a dog". Talkativeness is one of the favorite activities of the Maine Coon, whether with a man or animal. They have nice voices, which are not appropriate to their appearance. It is particularly noticeable in cats. Maine Coon kittens and cats are very unusual; they are loving, gentle, and good-natured. These cats are very playful and even in old age, they are still kittens. It is impossible to describe all the advantages of this breed, but it is exactly that one, who once meets a Maine Coon, will never be able to live without him.
