Main Coon Cat

My favorite kind of pure bred cat is the Main Coon. They are very beautiful cats, especially the orange ones.

Main Coons tend to be very sweet cats, but they can be skittish. 

The hardest part about Main Coons is their long fur. They shed a lot and they need lots of grooming. I once saw a Main Coon cat at a dog grooming place, but most cat owners don't go that far.

This is the most common Main Coon coloring.

This is an orange Main Coon kitten.

A good thing about Main Coons is that they are readily available. Although purebred cats are often shockingly expensive, you can find them in shelters. During the short time that I worked at a cat rescue, there were at different times three Main Coon cats and one Main Coon kitten.
