Maine Coon

This beautiful cat breed loves to swim in water and that’s because the locals of New England raised them to catch mice on ships. Did you know that the Maine Coon is the longest house cat breed in the world? However, that being said, it’s obvious that they have many more things that make us love and eventually adopt them, such as their unique and loving personality traits, intelligence and the ability to adapt to any home. 

If you want to adopt a pet, you have to take into consideration their features, personality, behavior and overall health, so, size should be the last (and the most insignificant) criterion you should consider when choosing a new furry friend. For instance, many people consider them a real mouser (because they are really good at catching mice), so you should adopt a Maine Coon if you want to get rid of mice. 

Norwegian Forest Cat

If you are looking for a friendly, big, gentle cat who loves water as much as you do, the Norwegian Forest Cat is the best choice! You will love this cat breed, not only because the Norwegian Forest Cat looks incredibly beautiful, but also because of their overflowing intelligence. 

As the name suggests, this fluffy breed is native to Norway and has a waterproof, double coat that helps them survive during the winter and swim in cold waters. They can be left alone with their toys, which is great if you are working. They don’t need constant attention and it’s enough for them to be in the same room with their owners to be happy. They are real climbers, so wait to see them climbing everything in your house.
