Larger Than Life
How Big are Maine Coons?
Male Maine Coons frequently tip the scales at 15–25 pounds, with females weighing between 10-18 pounds. But be very cautious with breeders who only advertise size because the bigger the cat, the greater the risk of hip dysplasia and heart disease. Maine Coons are the Great Danes of the cat world and a breeder MUST complete echocardiograms and hip x-rays especially when working with larger lines.
Let's talk FLOOF!
Maine Coons are unique in that they continue to grow and change until they are 4-5 years old. As kittens they usually don't have their trademark manes yet, but the floof usually arrives by the time they are 7 months - 1 year old.

They have a knack for learning tricks, opening doors, and even responding to their names like a dog. Griffin can sit, give high fives, go up on two paws, and turn around all on command.
