Maine cats are so cool because they're actually fucking ripped. like most cat breeds are squirmy flopsters but then you pet a Maine and it's like "oh my lord sir, do you work out?"
Nobody actually genuinely knows WHY Maine Coon cats are so lorge! The main theory right now is that they descend from Norwegian Forest cats, or Siberian Forest cats, both larger breeds of domesticated housecat that are used to cold temperatures and work-heavy hunting.
It may also explain why they are so Floofy, cold temperatures in Russia and Norway giving forest cats genetic predisposition for larger, heavier coats.
