20 Of The Cutest Maine Coon Kittens – The Gentle Giants, Waiting To Grow Up

Colors vary. The Cat Fancier's Association counts 75 color combinations and disallows only two (lilac and chocolate) because they may indicate crossbreeding. But the most common color is brown tabby. The tabby coat was so prevalent in Maine that locals referred to any non-tabby cats by a separate name: Maine Shags. Today there are solid colored Maine Coons in black, white, and red, and bi-colors who are red and white or blue and white.
