Gorgeous Maine Coons are the kings of the cat world. Despite the abundance of exotics in our lives, the appearance of these animals still discourages the uninitiated. The combination of grace, elegant cat manners, bass “purr” and impressive size leaves no one indifferent. Let's get to know this breed of cats better.
To say that the Maine Coon is simply a beautiful cat is to say nothing. After all, he is a very warm-hearted person. As they say, “there is warmth inside the cat.” These creatures do not accumulate warmth in themselves, they give it out.
Remember the numerous phrases about how the cat is the boss in the house and simply tolerates the presence of people. Well, this is not about the Maine Coon breed. They are happy with people and really need human company. This makes them similar to dogs. Why not a man's best friend?
He misses you madly. He is very happy when you return home, even if your absence was very short. He is ready to join you in preparing dinner, share a coffee break with you, participate in a home workout. And all this time he looks at you with adoring eyes. It seems that just a little more, and your favorite will start bringing slippers to the doorstep.
Yes, the Maine Coon is a surprisingly sociable creature. This is not the cat that will happily walk on its own. It is always where the person is. This is a party cat. Its curious nose, huge soulful eyes and impressive paws accompany its owner in any activity.
You will find in this representative of the feline family a wonderful understanding interlocutor. Maine Coons love to communicate. Even if you complain about life in a conversation with your cat (as strange as it may sound), he will purr very optimistically. And when your pet wants attention, you will not be able to miss it. He will butt you like a calf. Well, and taking into account the fact that the cat is very weighty, you will definitely understand his call.
Maine Coons are playful cats. They give themselves over to this activity completely. They will never miss the opportunity to play. Even a light afternoon nap will not interfere. Having twitched an ear and opened one sleepy eye, the coon is ready to rush after a lump of foil, a ball or a mouse. And the giant cat's pursuit of a moving red dot can even result in minor destruction in the house.
I once asked a friend if he plays with his Maine Coon. He said no, he's afraid. And that's quite reasonable. These animals have very large claws. Even if you trim them, there's still a risk of getting scratched. And don't forget about the teeth, which are also huge.
Don't expect your Maine Coon to come and sleep on your chest or curl up in a cozy ball on your lap. He doesn't need it, and neither do you, given his size and impressive weight. But he'll happily snore next to you, taking up a significant portion of the bed.
Maine Coon is truly a man's best friend. He is well worthy of proudly wearing this title.
