Maine in the 19th century. From here comes the name of the Maine Coon. There are several versions of the origin of the breed. According to one of them, Maine Coon appeared due to mating a cat and a female raccoon. In its favor testifies the color of the tail, as in a raccoon. According to another legend, the North American lynx was crossed with a cat, hence the tassels on the cat\u2019s ears. Also, one legend says that longhaired cats belonged to Marie Antoinette. She sent them to the States on a separate ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The already formed breed was first shown at a show back in 1878. Even then, it gained great popularity. In 1953, an official club of Maine Coon breed lovers appeared. In Europe, cats came only in the 70s of the 20th century. Today, Maine Coons are also fervently loved. They rank second in popularity after the Persian cat, according to Cat Fanciers.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Maine Coon is a huge cat, which reaches a weight of 10 kg. The pet\u2019s height at the withers is 30-40 cm, and its body length can reach 120 cm. At the same time, it is strong and muscular. The chest of the cat is wide, and the back is horizontal. Limbs high and massive, widely spaced. Maine Coon tail long \u2013 up to 36 cm. It is thick at the base and covered with thick fur. Its length over the body varies from 10 to 15 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pet\u2019s neck is medium length, strong and muscular. On it sits a massive, elongated forward head. The nose is of medium length, and the cheekbones are high. The Maine Coon\u2019s round eyes are set wide and slightly slanted. The iris color is green or yellow.
