Quality Maine Coons & British Shorthairs

 The Maine Coon is one of the best breeds that you can introduce to a multi-pet household. They get along spectacularly with cats and dogs, and the chaos of multi-pet households doesn’t typically fray on their nerves.

In the past, the Maine Coon was often put to work as a ratter. As a result, Maine Coons have high prey drives and may not be the best companion for smaller mammals such as hamsters or guinea pigs. Fish and birds may also be inadvisable as roommates.

 According to some owners, males are typically more demanding and social, while females can be occasionally independent. However, the biggest determining factor of your cat’s behavior is not their sex but their personality. One difference between males and females is that males are larger on average than females. 

 In spite of the Maine Coon’s long, fluffy coat, they aren’t high maintenance in terms of grooming care. They will need daily brushing to keep their coats free from tangles and matting, but beyond that, they don’t require specialized care. Maine Coons typically love attention, so they won’t be liable to run off when you try to brush them. Still, it’s a good idea to train your Maine Coon kitten to be accustomed to handling. The more familiar your pet is with being touched, the easier it will be to groom them.
