Your Maine Coon kitten will grow to be a large, long and muscular cat with large, tufted paws and ears and a long, bushy tail. The Maine Coon is known as the "gentle giant" of cats, with its easygoing and friendly disposition. They often converse with chirps, trills and other interesting sounds. They are intelligent, trainable and often described as "dog-like." They love to fetch and play and will remain active and playful throughout their adult lives.
