Even the Cheshire cat himself would envy the emotionality of this cat; by the way, they are very similar in appearance.

— Why are the faces of some cats so similar to humans?
— Each breeder has his own vision of the breed, and he selects for further selection individuals with those traits that are important to him. I can say that while working with the breed, I focused on the type of Maine Coon that I like. That is why now I have a recognizable “face” of my nursery.

Interesting facts about May Coons
There are many legends about the origin of the popular cat breed. One of them connects cats with raccoons, thereby explaining their mutual similarity in appearance.

Features of the Maine Coon breed
These felines are called gentle giants due to their impressive size and sociable nature.
Due to its appearance, ear tufts and fur between the claws, the breed is often compared to a lynx. Males reach a weight of 12 kg, females up to 8 kg, provided that the animal is not overfed and is not overweight. Otherwise, the weight may be even greater.
The place where the breed developed was distinguished by the severity of its climate. Therefore, cats have evolved and become resistant to severe frosts. Huge paws like snowshoes, a large fluffy tail that can be wrapped around, and long thick fur help not to feel the extreme cold. Water-repellent wool that is longer on the belly and sides keeps the underside warm.
The Maine Coon's color and pattern can vary. But cats with Siamese, lilac, golden coat colors, colors typical of Asians, are not suitable for participation in exhibitions. Such mixtures are unacceptable for a purebred show cat because they affect the strong bone structure. The eyes are most often golden or green, sometimes blue.
The Maine Coon received its first award at an exhibition in 1895. It was the most popular breed in America until it was supplanted by the Persian cat. In the 1950s, the breed was thought to be completely extinct. Fortunately, this turned out not to be the case. In the middle of the last century, the Maine Coon Breeders Association was created. And in 1985, the breed was declared the official state cat of Maine. Today it is the third most popular breed in the United States.
Typically, cats mature by 9-12 months of age. However, Maine Coons typically grow up to two to four years of age.
Maine Coons are calm and friendly in nature and get along well with children and other animals. They love to play with water.
Cats enjoy good health, but can be susceptible to cardiovascular problems. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a thickening of the walls of an animal’s heart, one of the most common diagnoses. Hip dysplasia also occurs, which develops due to lack of hip function. It is necessary to take these points into account and give the cat the opportunity to move as much as possible, create conditions for active movements.
