If you're looking for the best pet for your home, you've likely heard of the European and American Maine Coons. While they are very similar, the European Maine Coon has more distinct physical characteristics. For example, the European variety has extra-long bushy tails, a larger square muzzle, and almond-shaped eyes. Common eye colors are green, gold, and odd-eyed. These cats are very similar in personality and size, but their differences vary slightly. The head of a male or female is larger in the European Maine Coon than in the American version. Both types of Maine Coons have broad heads and strong cheekbones. Their muzzles are longer on the head and shoulder areas, and their muzzles are square. The European version has a broader head and a longer muzzle, while the American version has a broad head. The head shape is similar to the American one, but the European version is a little more distinctive. Its eyes are large, oval, and round. Its muzzle is in line with the upper lip and nose, which gives it a regal appearance. The name Maine Coon is a misnomer, as the breed is not related to a raccoon, which it is not. Instead, the name comes from the Maine Coon's resemblance to a cat. Originally, cats and raccoons were known as the Maine Shag, and "Coon" resulted from the raccoon's resemblance to a cat. The Maine Coon is one of the largest domesticated cats in the world. The Maine Coon has been nicknamed 'the dog of the cat world' because of their size and temperament. They are related to bobcats and are one of the world's largest cats. While these cats are very friendly and great with children, they are not good with strangers. Therefore, one must know about these cats' characteristics before purchasing one. The CFA standard for American Maine Coon is essentially the same as the MCBFA. However, the Standard does not specify the number of toes, as it applies equally to straight and poly-footed coons. In the summer of 1973, the American Cat Fanciers Association adopted the Unified Standard, and in 1975, all American cat associations accepted the breed as a recognized one. This Standard is now used as the foundation for judging the Maine Coon. The CFA standard for the American Maine Coon has been revised several times, but the CFA's decision to update it in 1979 changed the breed's appearance. Since this breed is gaining popularity, the CFA decided it was time to clarify its standards to ensure its future. This revision removed the breed from the "farm cat" image to achieve world fame. Listed below are some examples of CFA standards for the breed.
