Description:
If you hear someone mention "three feet of love" they are talking
about a Maine Coon. If you are looking for a large longhaired
cat then you want a Maine Coon.
Maine Coon's are highly intelligent, and are
great mousers. They often can get into things other cats can't,
and love to solve the puzzles of how to open things, due to
their length, they can also reach places most other cats can't.
Although mischievous Maine Coons are very affectionate
and are great with dogs and children.

domestic cats and they need room to grow.
