Brown Tabby Maine Coon · Silver Maine Coon
Gentle giant that chirps, follows you, and plays fetch
The largest domestic cat (up to 8–10 kg) and one of the most dog-like: follows owners room to room, chirps instead of meowing, and adores children. Long coat needs weekly combing.

Curated starter supplies researched for this companion's specific anatomy and needs
Weighing up to 20+ lbs with long tails, Maine Coons easily miss or feel cramped in standard litter boxes; an extra-large open pan accommodates their huge frame.
Maine Coons have massive water-resistant ruffs and britches that tangle easily; dual rounded rakes gently slice through groin and armpit mats without skin tugging.
Standard cat trees rock or collapse under a leaping 18-lb Maine Coon; reinforced thick posts and wide baseplates guarantee safe high perching.
