Maine Coon kitten 8 weeks old.

The ancestors of Maine Coons were big cats that lived in the northern states of the United States. These animals were a natural population in these areas, and their domestication and breeding began more than 250 years ago. "Maine coon" translates from English as "Maine coon," so Maine coons are also called Maine coon cats. Due to the resemblance of these animals to raccoons, there have even been several legends about their origins. Some are sure that the ancestors of Maine Coons were an ordinary domestic cat and a female raccoon. And it was from the wild animal cats inherited their gorgeous fluffy striped tail. Others prove that Maine Coons came from crossing domestic tabby-colored cats with North American lynx. Tassels on the ears of Maine Coons serve as proof of this theory. The truth is, geneticists break down both of these theories with ease - Maine Coons are a natural population of American feline metropolis. Originally, these cats were used as rat-catchers on farms, even sometimes taken for this purpose and on ships in those days, often plagued by rodent infestations.
