The Maine Coon is the biggest cat breed used as a pet.
It has a unique look and good hunting skills.
It is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America, specifically native to the state of Maine, where it is the official state cat.
Nobody knows for sure how the Maine Coon got to the United States, so there are several different ideas.
The breed was popular in cat shows in the late 19th century, but it almost became extinct because of long-haired breeds from overseas in the early 20th century.
The Maine Coon has since been brought back and is now one of the most popular cat breeds in the USA.
The Maine Coon is a large and friendly cat, which is how it got its nickname, "the gentle giant."
It is characterized by a big ruff along its chest, robust bone structure, rectangular body shape, an uneven two layered coat, and a long, bushy tail.
The breed's colors vary widely, with only lilac and chocolate disallowed for pedigree.
People often say the Maine Coon has "dog-like" characteristics.
Professionals notice certain health problems recurring in the breed, including feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia, but reputable breeders use modern screening methods to minimize the frequency of these problems.

The Lovely Bones is a 2009 supernatural thriller drama movie.
It is directed by Peter Jackson.
The movie stars Saoirse Ronan, Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Rose McIver and Michael Imperioli.
The screenplay of the movie was written by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Jackson.
The Lovely Bones is based on Alice Sebold's award-winning and bestselling 2002 book of the same name.
The movie follows a girl who is murdered and watches over her family from "the in-between."
She is torn between getting revenge on her killer and allowing her family to heal.
The Lovely Bones was first released in November 2009, and internationally in January 2010.
Tucci was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the movie.
Alice Sebold (born September 6, 1963) is an American writer.
Her three published books are Lucky (1999), The Lovely Bones (2002) and The Almost Moon (2007).
Lucky is a memoir and describes an experience of rape.
The bestselling The Lovely Bones was made into a 2009 movie.
The movie was directed by Peter Jackson.
She married writer Glen David Gold in 2001.
The couple have since divorced.
Sebold says that she was raped when she was 18 during her college years, and it was believed without question until 2021, when Timothy Mucciante, the executive producer of the film adaptation of Lucky, felt that her story did not make sense and hired private investigators to look into it.
Anthony Broadwater, the man she accused of raping her, was cleared of the crime when the Supreme Court said the evidence against him made no sense and that he was nnocent and wrongfully jailed.
Broadwater is African-American, and controversy followed as people believed Sebold had lied on purpose to punish a black person for a crime they did not commit racist reasons.
This has happened many times before to other black men falsely accused of raping white women and punished, and people saw this incident as another example of it.
Whether or not she was actually raped has been called into question as a result.

Holby City has been nominated for over 100 television awards.
It has won ten awards.
The 2008 British Academy Television Award for Best Continuing Drama, one Black Entertainment Film Fashion Television and Arts (BEFFTA) award, two Ethnic Multicultural Media Awards, two Music Video and Screen Awards, and four Screen Nation awards.
The first series averaged 9.27 million viewers.
The eleventh series averaged 5.44 million viewers.
Later series have had over 4 million viewers per week.
The first series had eleven main characters.
All have since left the show.
New main characters have been written in and out of the series.
There are fifteen main characters.
Well known actors regularly appear.
Cast members have included Patsy Kensit, Jane Asher, Robert Powell, Ade Edmondson, John Michie, Al Hunter Ashton, Alex Walkinshaw and Jemma Redgrave.
The tender document said the contract would be open to independent producers and BBC Studios.
It would be for three series of at least 50 episodes each.
It would be delivered from December 2017 with no break in transmission.
It would be produced at BBC Elstree Centre.
Holby City was created by Tony McHale and Mal Young as a spin-off from the BBC medical drama Casualty.
It is set in the fictional Holby City Hospital.
Young wanted to explore what happened to patients treated in Casualty once they were taken to the hospital's surgical wards.
The stories on Casualty are limited to the "accident of the week".
Holby City has stories about long-term care, rather than immediate life and death decisions.
The series was commissioned by BBC One Controller Peter Salmon.
It was first shown on BBC One on 12 January 1999.
Since its beginning, it has expanded to cover other wards.
These include a gynaecology ward, an acute assessment unit and a maternity ward.
Episodes of Holby City cost around £370,000 to produce.
This is more than the BBC soap opera EastEnders which costs £130,000 per episode.
Casualty costs £450,000 per episode.
As Holby City is a high-volume, year-round production, it has relatively low production costs.
Set-up costs can be spread over many years.
Sets can be re-used.
This is not the case for shorter series or one-off dramas.
Former Casualty producer Johnathan Young was an executive producer of Holby first series.
Mal Young was executive producer of Holby City until 2004.
Kathleen Hutchison worked with Mal Young as co-executive producer from 2003 to 2004.
She left the series to become executive producer of EastEnders.
In March 2011, Johnathan Young returned to the BBC as executive producer of both Casualty and Holby City.
Holby City storylines are planned eight months in advance.
The series has a number of scriptwriters.
They are found and scheduled by script development editor Simon Harper.
Harper finds some writers through the BBC Writers Academy.
This is a course which gives its graduates the chance to work on prime time television.
McHale teaches at the academy, and graduate Abi Bown went on to become a regular writer for Holby City.
His 2006 promotion to executive producer was part Controller of BBC Drama Production John Yorke's plan to "put writers back at the heart of the process".
Yorke said McHale's promotion was "fantastic.
It means that for the first time you've got a writer running one of our big powerhouse BBC1 shows."
After McHale resigned the lead writer was Justin Young.
He wants a more writer-led process from series 13 onwards.
Writers will create more of the story of their episodes than before.
Medical accuracy
The serial employs a team of researchers to advise writers on nursing issues and health service politics.
One medical advisor was given a cameo appearance in the series as an orthopaedic surgeon.
Another advisor, recovery nurse Rachel Carter, appears in Holby City as a scrub nurse.
The programme uses different types os surgeons to check scripts for accuracy.
Carter believes this is important as viewers might copy what they see in the show, such as CPR.
Actor Amanda Mealing said: "We pride ourselves on being realistic.
You need to know what you are doing and why.
It is a complex and foreign thing to act out an operation.
For training, I watched a number of real ones."
Original cast member George Irving observed coronary artery bypass surgery performed at Papworth and Middlesex Hospital in preparation for his role as Anton Meyer.
Edward MacLiam observed laparoscopic surgery being performed before joining the cast as Greg Douglas in series twelve.
Filming and on-screen output
Holby City and Casualty are both set in Holby City Hospital.
This is in the fictional county of Wyvern in the southwest of England close to the Welsh border.
Bristol is used for city exteriors.
Interior filming of Holby City is at BBC Elstree Centre in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
The Casualty set in Bristol was not large enough for the surgical ward and operating theatre needed for Holby City.
So some scenes in the first episode had to be shot twice, first on the Casualty set and then again at Elstree, with cast members travelling between the two locations.
In October 2007, The Daily Telegraph reported that the Elstree site would be sold, and Holby City moved to share a set with Casualty, possibly in Cardiff.
In March 2009, the BBC said that Casualty would move to a new set in Cardiff.
In April 2009, The Guardian said that the BBC would retain Elstree Studios for at least another four years.
Some episodes have been shot on location abroad.
In 2004, the romance between nurse Jess Griffin (Verona Joseph) and anaesthetist Zubin Khan (Art Malik) had an episode set in Paris.
In 2005, registrar Diane Lloyd (Patricia Potter) followed consultant Ric Griffin (Hugh Quarshie) to Ghana.
This was part of the BBC's "Africa lives" series, a week of programmes bringing African culture to UK audiences.
A 2007 episode in Dubai focused on Holby registrar Joseph Byrne (Luke Roberts) meeting new nurse Faye Morton (Patsy Kensit).
On 10 December 2012, it was announced that the show had filmed one episode in Stockholm.
This focussed on Jac tracking down hospital CEO Henrik Hanssen (Guy Henry).
Holby City is shot using the single-camera setup.
On 28 May 2010, the BBC announced that Holby City would move to HD by the end of the year.
From the eleventh series a musical montage segment was included in each episode.
This was introduced by McHale to modernise the show.
This use of songtages was first popularised by the US medical drama Grey's Anatomy.
McHale stated he was unaware of this until after Holby City had used the technique.
Music is selected by each episode's scriptwriter.
Sometimes the producers and director would select the music in post-production.
Actors have had some input: Hugh Quarshie selected the music he believed his character Ric Griffin would listen to in theatre.
Asked in June 2010 whether she felt songtages were appropriate for a serious drama show, Kyle said: "they are an excellent way of telling stories visually".
Holby City was first shown on 12 January 1999 on BBC One.
In June 2000, then Director-General of the BBC Greg Dyke pledged extra funding for BBC One, some of which was used for extra episodes of Holby City.
Series four to nine ran for 52 episodes.
Series ten ran for 53 episodes, including the stand-alone finale episode "Mad World", set outside the hospital.
Series eleven ran for 52 episodes.
Series twelve had 55 episodes.
All series from then on had 52 episodes.
The series reached its 500th episode on 13 April 2010.
In the first series episodes were 50 minutes long.
From the second series episodes have been one hour.
The first series was shown on Tuesday nights at 8.10 pm.
The second series moved to Thursdays.
Halfway through the third series in 2001, Holby moved back to Tuesday night at 8.05 pm.
It then moved into the 8pm timeslot, where it has remained.
The show is occasionally shown on a different day.
In 2007, the show moved to Thursday nights to allow HolbyBlue to be shown in the 8pm Tuesday timeslot.
BBC One Scotland has often shown the series at a later time.
In February 2019, it was announced that repeats of Holby City would begin on the channel Drama.
This would begin with the first series.
Holby City follows the professional and personal lives of medical and ancillary staff at Holby General.
It has an ensemble cast of main and recurring characters.
The show has 10 to 20 main characters.
For the first series, Young selected actors who were already established and had a soap opera background.
Young had previously worked on the soap operas Brookside and Family Affairs
French had starred in the BBC's EastEnders, while Stephenson and Faulkner had starred in Brookside.
Griffin had also appeared in ITV's Coronation Street.
Hiring of established actors continued as the soap progressed, with former Brookside actress Patricia Potter cast as registrar Diane Lloyd, Star Wars actor Denis Lawson cast as consultant Tom Campbell-Gore, and Family Affairs star Rocky Marshall cast as SHO Ed Keating.
Later, roles were given to comedian Adrian Edmondson, film actress Patsy Kensit, and Jesus of Nazareth star Powell.
There is a casting department at Elstree Studios which casts actors for Holby City as well as Casualty, EastEnders and Doctors.
The programme also has two casting directors who bring in actors for the producer and director to audition.
Some cast members who play main characters have made previous appearances in minor Holby City roles.
Holby City has had a number of famous guest stars.

Walk-on roles
In 2003, the BBC reached an agreement with the actors' union Equity to cease offering walk-on drama series roles to members of the public as prizes.
When an untrained person won such a role in Holby City in a competition, Equity complained to the broadcaster that such prizes were "demeaning" to actors, depriving them of paid employment.
The competition winner was allowed to visit the Holby City set, but did not appear on-screen as a result of the policy change.
Adaptations and other appearances
Casualty@Holby City
The BBC has shown occasional crossover mini-dramas entitled Casualty@Holby City.
It has a number of characters from each of the two casts.
Before Casualty@Holby City, the two shows had occasionally crossed-over storylines and cast members before.
For example developing a romance between Holby City Ben Saunders (David Paisley) and Casualty Tony Vincent (Lee Warburton).
The first full crossover was made by Casualty executive producer Mervyn Watson, and Holby City McHale.
Work on both shows had to be halted for two weeks to release cast members to appear in the special.
A second crossover was commissioned in 2005 as part of the BBC's DoNation season.
This aimed to raise public awareness of organ donation and to decide to sign up to the Organ Donor Register.
An interactive episode of Casualty@Holby City was one of the headlining shows of the season, allowing viewers to vote by phone to determine the outcome of a fictional organ donation.
The third Casualty@Holby City crossover aired in October 2005.
The four-part storyline tackled the issue of youth violence, following the events of a turbulent A&E demonstration at an inner-city school.
Another crossover was ordered for Christmas 2005.
Rather than dividing the episodes between the two series' crews as had previously been standard, this crossover operated as an entirely separate production, with Kyle producing and Paul Harrison directing.
In February 2010, another crossover occurred when Casualty Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson) was operated on by Holby City Elliot Hope after suffering a heart attack.
The storyline was shown as Casualty and Holby City episodes, rather than under the Casualty@Holby City title.
Casualty series producer Oliver Kent commented that, while it is "fantastic" to be able to produce crossover episodes, they are logistically difficult, and it is unlikely that another Casualty@Holby City episode will be produced in the "foreseeable future".
In September 2010, Holby City nurse Donna Jackson (Jaye Jacobs) appeared in Casualty, and Kent hopes that characters from the two shows will begin to crossover two or three times a year.
HolbyBlue
On 27 April 2006, the BBC announced Holby Blue, a police procedural spin-off from Holby City.
It was created by Tony Jordan.
Holby City was moved to Thursdays for the duration of HolbyBlue first series, with the spin-off broadcast on Tuesday nights at 8 pm.
In 2008, a two-part crossover episode with Holby City was developed for the beginning of the show's second series.
The episodes were written by McHale and Jordan.
Holby City registrar Jac Naylor accused of murder.
Yorke compared the crossover to the American CSI franchise, in that: "You really believe it's a world."
The second series attracted 5.6 million viewers to its opening episode.
By the end of May 2008 viewer numbers had fallen to 2.5 million.
In August 2008, the BBC announced that, due to lower ratings, Holby Blue would not be recommissioned for a third series.
In June 2002, cast members from Holby City and Casualty competed against the EastEnders cast for the first Sport Relief fundraiser, dubbed "Sport in the Square".
The teams competed in events such as taxi pulling, melon tossing and a beer keg relay.
In October 2003, BBC One aired a "Kenyon Confronts" documentary by Panorama reporter Paul Kenyon, investigating hospitals run by the Private Finance Initiative.
He discovered many problems within the hospitals, which were dramatised by the Holby City cast in specially written scenes.
In March 2004, the documentary "Making It at Holby" was made as part of a BBC initiative to develop new acting talent.
The documentary followed the casting process of Holby City and Casualty, from the audition stages to the filming of the selected actors' first scenes.
In November 2006, the Children in Need charity telethon included a segment featuring the Holby City cast performing a comical version of "Hung Up" by Madonna.
In November 2007 Children in Need appeal again contained a musical performance from Holby City cast members.
Sharon D Clarke, backed by Nadine Lewington, Rakie Ayola and Phoebe Thomas performed a soul version of Aretha Franklin's signature song, "Respect".
On 28 June 2008, Holby City stars competed against their Casualty counterparts in a special charity edition of BBC Two game-show The Weakest Link.
In February 2010, Holby City and Casualty cast members performed a dance rendition of "Jai Ho" for Let's Dance for Sport Relief.
Holby City has been compared to other medical dramas, often unfavourable.
In November 2002, John Whiston, then head of drama at Granada Television, accused the BBC of producing inferior "parodies" of ITV drama.
He commented "With Holby City cloned out of Casualty, the BBC has even ended up copying itself."
Paul Hoggart of The Times says that the differences between the two shows are "mild", calling Holby City: "Casualty cute little sister".
Kevin Lygo, director of television at Channel 4, referred to Holby City as "sudsy drama", deeming it, Casualty and HolbyBlue "all decent programmes, but strikingly similar in many aspects of their tone and construction."
Holby City has been unfavourably compared with the American medical drama ER.
Television producer Paul Abbott has commented that although he watches ER, he does not watch Holby City as: "it looks like you've crammed one hour's drama into 26 episodes."
In October 2009, former Holby City writer Peter Jukes wrote a critical piece for Prospect magazine, contrasting the show negatively with the standard of American television dramas.
Jukes wrote that Holby City has become a soap opera, rather than a drama, and deemed the episodes he worked on "the most dispiriting experiences in [his] 25 years as a dramatist."
In August 2002, Paul Bolt, director of the Broadcasting Standards Commission criticised BBC programming as being "humdrum" and "formulaic", saying of Holby City and the police procedural Mersey Beat: "One begins to wonder what really is the point of the BBC bringing this to us.
Let's have something a bit different."
Then head of BBC drama Jane Tranter responded that Bolt's examples were "highly selective" as well as "hugely patronising to the millions of viewers who enjoy popular dramas like Holby City – week in, week out".
Young, who at the time held the position of head of drama serials, told The Guardian: "Popular drama has always been singled out for criticism, but people are increasingly voting with their on-buttons."
At the 2003 Edinburgh International Television Festival, BSykB chief executive Tony Ball called for stricter restrictions on how the BBC spent licence payers' money, suggesting that Holby City be sold to the channel's commercial rivals, with the proceeds used to develop more original programming.
The BBC refused Ball's suggestion, responding in a statement: "This speech clearly reflects BSkyB's view that programmes are merely a commodity to be bought and sold."
In 2003, former BBC host Sir Ludovic Kennedy complained that ethnic minorities were over-represented on television, prompting a BBC spokeswoman to explain that Holby City has more ethnic characters as it is set in an area where minorities account for up to 30% of the population.
According to the 2001 census, the population of Bristol – which the city of Holby is loosely based upon – is 88% white and 12% ethnic minorities.
In October 2003, Holby City was praised by campaigners for the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), when an episode which coincided with "Learn To Sign Week" used deaf actors, and featured characters communicating through British Sign Language.
RNID chief executive John Low stated: "Too often individuals have to rely on family members or friends to communicate complicated personal information to professionals.
