Today, we are back on top as the 5th most popular cat breed! We were saved and our breed was officially recognized by the Cat Fanciers’ Association in 1976. By the 1950s, we were almost completely wiped out! Thankfully, a group of humans who were passionate about keeping our breed alive formed the Maine Coon Breeders and Fanciers Association in 1968. that is until the Persian breed came along and took our spot. As a native American breed, we were hugely popular in the United States. Our fur – including our tufted ears, “snowshoe” paws, and bushy tail – were all designed to keep us warm as we helped our humans in cold and snowy New England winters. Wherever we first came from, we were hardy working cats who were good mousers on ships and barn cats on farms. While these are all fun stories, the most likely explanation ( genetically speaking) is that the earliest Maine Coons were a mix between domestic cats and Norwegian Forest cats who sailed to America with the Vikings and other European sailors! While she never made it aboard, her cats did, and so the legend states that the Maine Coon breed resulted from her royal Angoras breeding with domestic cats. As the story goes, the queen was planning to flee to America during the French Revolution, aided by ship captain Stephen Clough from Wiscasset, Maine. Because of my bushy tail and common brown tabby coloring, some humans believe that my ancestors were actually bred with raccoons! Of course, this is not biologically possible, but it did add the “coon” part to my name!Īnother famous folk tale surrounding my ancestors’ arrival in the United States is that we descended from six Turkish Angora cats belonging to the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette. But there are a lot of pawsitively fascinating stories about how my earliest ancestors first came to America.
Everyone agrees that my breed as it is today is native to the state of Maine – and we are the official state cat of Maine (duh!). While the name Maine Coon makes it pretty clear exactly where I come from, humans have a lot of interesting theories as to how we first came about. Because of my long, flowing locks, I’m a bit of a shedder, but you can keep some of my fur off your furniture by brushing me regularly (this will also keep me looking furbulous)! With my rugged good looks and friendly personality, it’s no wonder I am one of the most popular cat breeds today.
I’m a pretty chatty cat and I am known for my adorable melodic voice, which is more of a soft chirping or trilling sound than a loud meow. I am just as happy chasing down toys and playing fetch. I really like to play and, since my breed used to be mousers, I’m the prrrfect kitty if you have some unwanted rodents lurking around your house.
Since I’m really smart, I love puzzle toys that keep my big brain sharp! Just make sure I have some fun toys to occupy my time. While I may be large, there is a reason my nickname is “gentle giant” – I don’t play rough, so I’m great with kids and other pet-friendly fur babies! I love attention from my humans but I’m not needy – I am totally happy just hanging out solo if you’re busy. If you’re looking for a big cat with an even bigger heart, I may be the breed for you! I am a wonderful family cat who is super friendly and gets along with everybody.
