For the Maine Coon breed, the most current standards are created by the WCF (World Cats Federation), FIFe (Federation International) and TICA (The International Cat Association) systems. Despite a lot of nuances, they all similarly draw the image of the "correct" Maine Coon cat. A detailed study of the standards helps to clearly understand the appearance of a thoroughbred "Coon".
The average weight of an adult Maine Coon is 6-8 kg. Males reach 9-10 kg, exceeding this parameter, as a rule, indicates that the fluffy male is obese. The body length of an adult is up to 135 cm, the height at the withers is from 25 to 45 cm, which is comparable to a fairly large dog. Cats are smaller than cats and have more graceful build.
Maine Coons have a longer tail than many other breeds. In these cats, the tail should reach the shoulder blades if placed along the back.Almost any color is allowed, except for Siamese, brown, chocolate, lilac and their shades. Marble colors are considered valuable: black and gray, as well as red - a special shade of red, characteristic only for this breed. Solid ones look attractive, i.e. solid ones: black, blue, white and so on. Tricolor (tortoiseshell) and bicolor are available in various variations.
