Maine Coon
Did you know that the Maine Coon cat is considered the only longhair breed native to the United States? The Maine Coon is a large cat breed that has a strong body and a loving personality.
According to Bethany Colilla, a CFA judge and secretary of the Maine Coon Cat Breed Council, “[the mail coon cats] are typically about 15 to 20 pounds. Females tend to be on the lower end of the spectrum; however, the larger males can sometimes get closer to 25 pounds.”
This large cat breed loves their family and tends to become overweight if left uncontrolled, namely without exercise and a healthy diet. So, you have to monitor their diet and provide them with healthy foods and treats.

If I had my choice, I would want to own a Norwegian Forest Cat. One thing that this article does not mention, they are good for persons who suffer allergies to cat dander. It is really the saliva of the cat that triggers the allergies. Cats are territorial and mark their their territories with their saliva. The enzymes that trigger allergies are quite low in this cat.
Beautiful cats. I had a few Manx when I was younger. All were very sweet and affectionate cats..

Please don’t promote these “Breed” cats. Thousands of cats are euthanized everyday….we don’t need more. Millions of cats live as stray and feral. They live lives of starvation, disease and suffering. Please promote spaying/neutering of cats andadopting from shelters/rescues. Please do not encourage breeding.
