As the name suggests, the Maine Coon is native to Maine, a U.S. state. This cat breed has been popular for their abilities as a mouser, farm cat and ship’s cat, but nowadays, they make excellent pets for any type of family, including those who already have other pets or those with young children.
Although they are large cat breeds, they have a friendly and loving personality that can adapt to many lifestyles. If you choose to adopt such a breed, you should know that they love to follow you all over the house, but they are not needy at all, so if you are busy, they will understand.
The best part is that no rodents will be safe in your household as long as there is a Maine Coon guarding the territory. They tend to play with toys as if they were mice, so this way they keep their skills sharp. Even though they can jump and climb just like any other feline, the Maine Coon prefers to stay calm. Of course, they are very intelligent and can learn new tricks quickly.
