While your Maine Coon may follow you around the house, she's not needy or clingy. This is an independent cat, which is not say she's above accepting an invitation to sit on a lap. Maine Coons are high energy cats, who remain kitten-like and playful throughout their lives. The males are a bit sillier, and the females more dignified, but both will need toys and puzzles to help them expend their considerable energy stores and exercise their active minds. These cats were originally kept by Maine farmers and ships' captains for their keen hunting skills and most will need to continually express the hunter side of themselves through toys.
