Maine Coon cats
Huge fluffy felines
Maine Coon cats are a breed of large, long-haired domestic cats native to the northeastern United States.
They're known for their substantial size—often exceeding twenty pounds—tufted ears, bushy tails, and sociable temperament.
The breed is sometimes called "gentle giants" for combining imposing physical presence with an affectionate disposition: Our Maine Coon thinks he's a lap cat despite weighing as much as a toddler.
