What is a Maine Coon? Dante is a Maine Coon!!!
He lives with his parents Sanjay and Greg and his siblings, another kitty and two Corgis in Asheville, NC. Maybe Sanjay will write and fill us in on some of the Bio details of Dante. I remember he came from a breeder and the he is still growing!!! He has such a sweet personality and loved being around people!
Is that a handful or what? you’d really have to be a cat lover to sign up for this!!!! (sign me up!)

Wikipedia says:
Maine Coons are very large and energetic cats, sometimes weighing up to around 11-12 kilograms (25 pounds); the average weight is 6 to 9 kilograms (13-20 pounds) for adult males and less (7-11 pounds) for females. Males may grow to a length in excess of 1 meter (40 inches); as of 2006, the longest cat on record is a male Maine Coon measuring 122cm (48 inches) in length.[9] Growth to full size often takes longer than for most cats, with Maine Coons usually reaching full size at age four or five

Maine Coons are a breed distinguished by high intelligence, dexterity, and playfulness. They have a tendency to use their front paws extensively (often curling the paw round to pick objects up) and as a consequence will easily learn to open cabinet doors, turn on water faucets, flush toilets, or pick up small objects. Some Maine Coons will eat, or even drink, from their paws, rather than from the bowl itself.

I still can’t get over the size of the paws! Wonder how much these cats eat, can you imagine???

Due to their above-average intelligence, Maine Coons are known to be one of the easiest cat breeds to train. Maine Coons are noted for their ability to trill their meows, which sounds like a combination of a purr and a meow, and they tend to make this sound when happy or startled. When they do meow, it tends to be very high in pitch, in comparison to other breeds. They are noted for rarely eating alone, preferring to eat in the company of other cats or humans. Maine Coons are not known to be “lap cats” but of course, this may depend on the individual cat and some may prefer laps. (can you imagine? you’d be trapped!!!!)
