Maine Coons Are Very Addictive

starside mainecoons

Maine Coons are sociable and inquisitive, and can usually be found wherever the action is in the house, inserting themselves into every interesting situation. Talkative but not overly loud, they express themselves through a variety of soft and melodious meows, chirps, and trills. They are quite trainable cats and enjoy learning tricks, responding well to positive training methods and tasty food treats. Despite the old stereotype, Maine Coons often love water and may play in it, bathe in it, dip their food in it, and even swim.

About Starside Mainecoons

Mainecoon Appearance

The Maine Coon is a solid, rugged cat that is well-proportioned and balanced despite their massive size. They have muscular, long, rectangular bodies with broad chests. Their large, round paws have tufts of hair sticking up from the toes. The head is slightly longer in length than width, with high cheekbones, a distinctive square muzzle, and large, well-tufted ears. The Maine Coon cat coat is heavy and shaggy with a ruff on the chest. The breed comes in many different colors and patterns except for chocolate, lavender, and the Himalayan (pointed) pattern.

A Special Experience

The best way to describe a Maine Coon Cat temperament is that, they are a “golden retriever temperament” wrapped in a cat’s body. This breed is very interactive with other pets and its owners. And they stay very interactive for a large number of years.

 
They do go through an “independent stage” usually the first year of growth (much like a teenager). They are just too busy to be loving. But, as they mature they calm down. This breed is the closest thing to a companion that you can find in the domestic cat world.
 
There is very little difference in temperament between males and females. Females when grown may be a bit more “busy” than males and males may be a bit more “laid back” than females when grown. But both are very interactive with people. Each cat has a unique personality and some are more “lap cats” than others, but gender has no bearing on that.
 
They naturally stay in the same room with you and can sense if you are not feeling well and stay especially close by you during that time. Each cat has it own individual personality and some are more lap cats than others, but all are very interactive with their owners.

About This Breed

Although Maine Coon-type cats were likely known throughout New England, they were especially popular in the state of Maine. Beginning around the 1860s, some farmers began exhibiting their prized “coon cats” at the Skowhegan Fair, which is the nation’s oldest consecutively held agricultural fair, dating back to 1818. Here, the predecessors to today’s modern Maine Coon breed competed for the title of Maine State Champion Coon Cat.

A female brown tabby Maine Coon named Cosey won what is regarded as the first American cat show, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City on May 8, 1895.1 The Cat Fanciers’ Association’s first stud book and breed registry from 1908 lists the Maine Coon as a foundation breed (listed as “Maine Cats”). The breed is also recognized by the International Cat Association. The Maine Coon was designated as the state cat of Maine in 1985.

Diet and Nutrition

As with other heavily built breeds, it’s important to keep Maine Coon cats from becoming overweight, something that can easily happen if the cat is free-fed (food kept in the bowl at all times) rather than fed measured meals twice a day. For all cats, staying lean is healthier. For Maine Coons, which are prone to hip dysplasia, staying lean can prevent the development or worsening of joint issues. For advice about what to feed or how much to feed daily, talk to your veterinarian or breeder.
