Do you have a cat? If yes, then thereג€™s a very high chance that your kitty is a Maine Coon. These furry felines originated in the state of Maine in the United States of America. There are various stories on how the first Maine Coon was born. Some attribute it to Tabby; others say that it was because she mated with an American Bobcat which later became known as the Maine Coon Cat.
Just like other domestic cats, these feline friends are curious by nature and this endows them with all sorts of cat-like traits such as hunting ability, climbing ability and speed. They have been known to hunt rabbits, mice, rats, squirrels, birds and even small dogs if given the chance.
Are Maine Coons Curious?
In the wild, they are known to be great hunters of small animals. They have also been known to climb and hunt on trees as well. This is because they are curious by nature and just want to explore new places for fun.
They are also known for their boundless energy which is why Maine Coons can easily spend hours playing with their owners or just running around.
And that’s not all! These cats love water and will run into the nearest river or pool if given the chance. So, a lot of Maine Coon owners take care in making sure that their pet has plenty of fresh water to drink.
What kind of personality do Maine Coon cats have?
These cats are also known to be independent and confident. They’re also stubborn and don’t like to be told what to do. These traits make them almost fearless. They’re also quite intelligent, making them good candidates for agility competitions.
While they may look like a small cat, these cats can actually weigh up to 26 pounds or more! Maine Coons are medium-sized with short muzzles, long slender bodies and long legs. Their coats come in all colors including: browns, blacks, creams, tans, silvers, grays and whites.
Maine Coon Cats have a specific personality that is similar to the personality of children; this applies even when they are older. While some might find it difficult to deal with this trait at first, it’s definitely one of their many lovable qualities!
What is so special about Maine Coon cats?
Maine Coons are special because of their curious nature. Maine Coons are extremely intelligent, fast and agile and have a strong hunting ability that can rival some big cats. They are known to hunt down small animals, which includes birds, squirrels and even rabbits. They also have an immense curiosity, which makes them quite the explorers.
Maine Coons might be slow in comparison to other domestic cats but theyג€™re still mighty hunters. They have been known to catch small dogs such as chihuahuas just by chasing them with their paws while theyג€™re on the ground or climbing trees to catch them from above. Another interesting trait is their amazing sense of smell, which allows these cats to smell out prey in any environment.
Maine Coons typically have a shaggy coat that comes in a variety of colors including all shades of brown, black blue and grey but my personal favorite is when it looks like it has a solid white chest with black spots on top of it.
Do Maine Coons pick a favorite person?
Maine Coons are known to be not just curious, but independent and intelligent. They’re also considered to be very friendly towards people.
They can be quite dominant around other cats and if they don’t like a certain cat, they will often fight them.
However, Maine Coon Cats are known to be very independent and they do not typically show their affection towards one person or another. It’s their personality that makes them different from all other cats.
