The Maine Coon is originally a “farmer’s cat”. It is stoutly built and it can stand a

harsh climate. It’s still a natural race, so cross-breeding is not allowed. It has a quiet

personality and a tough appearance. Although its miaow is soft, it can clearly indicate its wishes. Despite its long hairs it’s easy to keep because its coat doesn't tend to get entangled.

Our Maine Coon likes our company very much. Where-ever we are in the house, he is

always lying close to one of us. The only thing he doesn’t like is sitting on our lap.

He likes to get up on time and he knows very well how to get us out of bed. If he

succeeded and has finished his breakfast, he doesn’t mind to continue sleeping on

the bed. If both of us are still in bed, one of us will have to leave because he likes

his space. We really like the view of our tough tomcat sleeping on his back with his

paws raised.

Then you see a soft hairy belly, which you had better not touch because his nails

are quick and sharp. Watching is allowed though. He shows that he is aware of his

spectators by opening an eye now and then and by swaying its tail.

For us, it’s great to have a Maine Coon. We are very happy with Dante and we wouldn’t want to miss him.
