What Kind of personality do the Maine Coon Cats have?
No breed has a monopoly on love and affection, but there?s got to be some good reason that the Maine Coon has clawed its way up from near extinction to the prized place of America?s second most popular breed (according to the CFA?s registration totals). Maine Coon fanciers say that the popularity is due to the breed?s large size, intelligence, luxuriant coat, hardy disposition, and devotion to their human family. While Maine Coons are devoted, playful, and loving to their chosen humans, they can be reserved around people with whom they?re not familiar. Given time, however, even the most cautious adapt. As befits a former seafarer, Maine Coons are fascinated by water, perhaps because their thick coats are water-repellent and won?t become annoyingly soaked as easily as a thinner coat would.
