Maine Coon Cat?
Anyone have one? (if you do - post pics!)
Our cats are 6 yrs old but in the future I may get one...are they any different to take care of than "normal" cats? I know they have longer fur...
thanks !

Re: Maine Coon Cat?
someone at the vet suggested that Maggie - my new kitty - might be part Main coon
she has long hair- but not fur like my persian
my persain cost a decent amout to get grommed- but there is nothing like the softness of the fur- it's crazy

Re: Maine Coon Cat?
Our oldest cat is a maine coon (maybe a mix?) They get bigger (my co-workers have referred to him as a Puma) but I love him to pieces. Their hair is longer and it is prone to matting, so you have to brush them pretty often.

Re: Maine Coon Cat?
My sister has a female one...she is pretty small as far as Maine Coons go. My sister got tired of all the hair around the house and the cat was getting so many fur balls that she had her shaved. the cat looks happier and I know my sister is!!

Re: Maine Coon Cat?
My MIL has one - I don't have a pic. The only thing is that she is hypersensitive -- when my MIL goes away, she won't eat; she stresses a lot-- but that may be Katie and not the breed. She is a gorgeous cat.

Re: Maine Coon Cat?
This is my Maine Coon, Henry, when he was 3 years old. He's gained some weight since then - a little too much  We got him from the ASPCA in Manhattan. He's such a cute cat.
I think they really do have a different temperament than most cats. He's very devoted to me, but just puts up with DH. He follows me everywhere and if I close the door, he sits outside and waits for me. He'll never sit on my lap, but he'll always sit right next to me. At night, he likes to try to sleep on my pillow, but he has a big rearend, so it's not entirely working out
The hair isn't too bad, but you do have to watch out for matting. Image Attachment(s):
