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

A Maine Coon is built for Maine. It's not all about looks: a Maine Coon was designed to weather the weather up in northern New England. A Maine Coon's dense, water-resistant fur – longer and shaggier on the undersides and rear is perfect for sitting in snow or on ice. A Maine Coon's long bushy tail is resistant to sinking in snow, and is handy for curling around the face and shoulders for protection when the wind is howling and snow is blowing. It can also be tucked under the backside, like a seat cushion at a football stadium in winter, when the cat is sitting in snow.
