Maine Coon and Polydactyl Maine Coon
About the breed
The breed was formed naturally under the influence of the harsh climate of Maine, although there are also “alternative” versions (various kinds of legends) about the origin of the Maine Coon. In literature, Maine Coons were first mentioned in 1861. An article about a cat named Captain Jenks from the ship “Sea Horse” dates back to this time.
He was shown at exhibitions in Boston and New York in 1861 and marked the beginning of the early popularity of the breed, but at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Maine Coons were overtaken by fluffier Persian cats. The Maine Coon as a breed managed to survive only because farmers paid tribute to its size and hunting qualities.
Temper
By nature, the Maine Coon is surprisingly kind, balanced and friendly, curious and trusting, like a child. This is a cat-friend, a cat-companion. Not a single thing in the house can be done without the participation of the Maine Coon – they are very attached to the owner and will literally follow him “like a tail”, taking part in all household chores. Maine Coons are very mobile and active animals, retaining the habits of kittens until old age. They love all kinds of dynamic games and are able to have fun without the participation of the owner.
Maine Coons are very sociable creatures, they are able to get along in the same house with other animals, including dogs. Despite their impressive appearance, menacing and heavy look, Maine Coons are very friendly and affectionate. It is not for nothing that they are also called “gentle giants”.
Interesting traits
Among the interesting features of the Maine Coon, one can note the habit of “raking” water before drinking, they can dig around the bowl, along the edges, as if chasing something away, often even directly “digging” in the water. Perhaps this is a legacy of farm life, when they had to drink from puddles, ponds, streams and first had to drive away dry leaves and branches.
They choose cool places to sleep, do not like warm bedding and closed houses, if the Maine Coon does not have the opportunity to walk in a cool enclosure, he will prefer to sleep on cool tiles, on a windowsill, in a sink or in the bathroom to sleeping in your bed (which many other cats want and love so much!)

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR…
Make an appointment
Thanks to modern technologies, you and I can hold an online meeting during which you have the opportunity to observe kittens in their comfortable environment and choose your kitten. Kittens do not have the necessary vaccinations at this age and therefore the online format is the most optimal and safe for their health. We can discuss all the points of interest to you, and I can show you how comfortable the kittens live in our family.
