Correct. The Maine Coon are as much famous for their friendliness and gentleness, as they are for their size. Both an intelligent and a good-natured cat, the Maine Coon is suitable for owners with very different personalities and preferences. Maine Coons are very playful, which makes them perfect for people that want to actively play with their pets, but they are also very patient and calm, which makes them a great pet for more passive owners. They are also suitable for homes with small children, as long as they are relatively well-behaved. Maine Coon enjoys your company and will follow you around the house, but are not clingy and too needy, so if you’re busy they will be perfectly satisfied to just sit close to you and observe your actions. Given their size, as well as their nature, Maine Coons are not known as climbers, so your curtains will be safe. As a “mouser” cat, the Maine Coon prefers to keep its paws on the ground – that’s where it feels most secure. That is also where it likes to play – the Maine Coon loves to chase toys around the floor, and thanks to its intelligence, it can easily be taught to play fetch. Male Maine Coons are known to be much more playful, to the point of almost doggish silliness. Female Maine Coons are more dignified, calm, and cat-like, although they are still playful and fun cats in quite a lot of the time.
