The Maine Coon Cat is North America's only native longhaired breed and is also the largest domestic cat. The Maine Coon probably developed by natural selection in response to New England's harsh climate. It is a muscular cat with a long body, heavy bones, and large round paws. A full-grown Maine coon male averages from 12 to 18 lbs; females average 10 to 14 lbs.  Maine coons do not reach their full size until they are three or four years old. The Maine Coon has a long, shaggy coat, large ears, a long square muzzle, and a long and full plume of a tail. Maine Coons come in many different color combinations.  The most common Maine Coon color is the brown tabby.  The Maine Coon's gentle, easygoing disposition and affectionate nature make it an ideal companion. It has a soft voice, ranging from a soft trill to a nearly-silent squeak. Many Maine Coons use their paws to eat food and drink water.   This raccoon-like habit, combined with the fact that a large brown tabby Maine Coon somewhat resembles a raccoon, led to its name.
