About Maine Coon cats

 The Maine Coon cat is one of the oldest and largest breeds in North America, originally descended from the Viking vessels dating back to the 19th century, settling in the state of Maine.    

One striking feature that immediately catches one attention is the sheer size of the breed. 

Here's a fun fact: A Maine Coon, named Stewie, holds the Guinness World Record for being the worlds largest house cat measuring over four feet in length (123cm) from tip of nose to tip of tail. That's pretty big!

Known for their friendly and sociable nature, these cats are highly interactive with their human counterparts. This breed is also tolerant and patient, making them excellent companions for families with children and other pets. In addition to the amiable disposition, Maine Coons are intelligent and curious, often displaying playful behavior well into adulthood. They learn quickly - often trained to perform tricks or even walk on a leash. This combination of intelligence, sociability, and playfulness makes the breed an engaging and delightful companion.

It is a worth mentioning that the Maine Coons distinctive chirping or trilling vocalization adds a unique charm to their personality as if they have their own language to communicate with their owners.

 Here at Tahoe Maine Coons, we get a thrill listening to our Coons trill us in their conversations. 

They really make us laugh!

 It is also important to note, that a Maine Coon cats appeal extends far beyond their impressive stature. Maine Coons are affectionate in nature and strike a good balance between being loving and independent. They have remarkable adaptability, making them well-suited to various living environments.

A Maine Coon cats lifespan on average is over 12.5 years, though some Maine Coons have known to reach 15+ years. Their lifespan is dependent on their specific lifestyle, general health, genetics, diet and exercise levels.  A Tahoe Local had a gorgeous Maine Coon whose lifespan was over 19 years! You can image all the years of enjoyment this family has had with their beloved Maine Coon.  

Our other local Maine Coons love to be harnessed and ridden on back of their masters bicycle on Tahoe's bike paths. They are always in the Tahoe Daily Tribune, our local newspaper.
