A Quick Histories

The Maine Coon's precise ancestry is obscured by tradition and folklore.

According to a well-liked idea, this breed originated from a mix of domestic long-haired cats and seafaring cats that were brought to the beaches of North America by early European settlers. Due to their tufted ears and bushy tails, another notion relates them to raccoons; nevertheless, this is genetically impossible.

When Maine Coons were displayed in cat exhibits in the 19th century, they first became well-known. They immediately became well-known for their enormous size and amiable demeanour, gaining the moniker "gentle giants." The Maine Coon's status as a purebred cat was established in 1985 when the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) recognized it as a breed.
