The Maine Coon is the oldest indigenous breed of domestic
cat in North America. It originated in the State of Maine, where early
frontiersmen believed that these large cats were the result of breeding
between a domestic cat and a raccoon.
Maine Coon Cat
Characteristics:
Maine Coon Cats are considered to be the
"puppies" of the cat world. They love people and want to be involved in
every aspect of family life. Many people consider the Maine Coon to be
the "perfect pet" with their unusual personalities, habits and tricks -
and eagerness to help with every activity in the house. Maine Coons
never lose the urge to play their whole lives, and somehow manage to
inch their way into the hearts and affections of everyone they meet,
whether it be people or other animals.

 That
Yankee Cat: The Maine Coon
"Do Maine Coon cats have snowshoe feet?"
"What ever happened to rust-colored Coon cats?"
"Are Coon cats related to raccoons?"
"But really, what is a Maine Coon cat?"
With humor and wisdom, Marilis Hornidge has
answered these and other oddly difficult questions in That Yankee
Cat, the best reference guide to the first truly American breed--the
Maine Coon cat. This newest revised edition includes up-to-date
breeding facts, new stories, old legends, color photos, and other

resources about the Maine Coon, and a comprehensive manual of cat
care helpful to any cat owner, no matter what breed they fancy.
