Cat breed · Maine Coon

Everything scaled up for the biggest cat in the room

Maine Coons grow for up to four years and reach twice the size of an average cat, which changes the practical things: larger litter trays, sturdier scratching posts, more food, and a semi-long coat that needs regular attention.

What to watch for

Breed tendencies, not diagnoses. Anything persistent is a conversation with your vet first.

  1. 01Joints and size

    A big frame with a long growth period means joint health and a steady growth rate are worth attention.

  2. 02Coat

    A semi-long, water-resistant coat needs brushing two or three times a week to prevent mats and hairballs.

  3. 03Heart

    Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is documented in the breed: a known screening item for Maine Coon owners.
