18 Perfect Photographs Of Maine Coons, The Largest Domesticated Cats In The World

Were you aware about the Maine Coon cats before? However, if you're interested in having a mini lion at your home, have a go at finding one of these prestigious lofty cats. They are extremely beautiful and big in size.

This last story has at least a ring of truth. Seafarers who used cats to control rodent populations on their sailing ships probably brought some longhaired cats with them to the New World. Some of the cats went ashore when they reached the northeastern coast and established themselves on the farms and in the barns of the early settlers. Given Maine's severe climate, those initial years must have been tough on cat and human alike. Only the breed's strongest and most adaptable survived. Through natural selection, the Maine Coon developed into a large, rugged cat with a dense, water-resistant coat and a hardy constitution.
