One night I was sleeping and I woke up hearing chirping noises from the bathroom. I creaked open the door and saw my Maine Coon cat! Maine Coons are one of America’s popular cats because of their personality, loving nature, and looks. Maine Coons have a lot of skills that make them perfect for most activities. They are excellent hunters and love to be playful and loving to everyone they meet. Maine Coons developed by breeding that was done independent of humans. Female Maine Coons would only breed with the most dominant males and this created a natural process where the cats with the strongest body, best hearing, warmest fur, and perfect vision were the ones that had the most offspring. This process is called the selection of the fittest by most scientists. The Maine Coon cats of today came from the best of their breed from many generations of cats before them. This weeded out the cats that had health problems and resulted in a cat with superior abilities compared to other cats. This might explain why the breed is so popular with people.
One of the prettiest things about the Maine Coon is their looks. First, is its fur, it is colorful. Maine Coon’s fur colors are black, gray, orange, cream, silver and brown. Maine
Coons fur also can be short or long, and they can have fur as long as six inches. Also, Maine
Coons fur has several layers. This was very important to the success of the breed in surviving some of the coldest climates. Maine Coons aren’t just about the pretty looks, they also need to be cared for so they will continue to have beautiful silky fur. So, brushing on a regular basis is a must. Also, brushing helps you and your cats. It helps you to bond with your cat. It helps your cat because when you brush out all the loose hair from his or her coat he or she won’t get so many hairballs.
