Gorgeous Character of Giant Maine Coon Cats -- I'll Tell You Some Stories About Them

Every animal has a distinct character. 1-cent-big fish, a bird, a cat, a dog. Their personal characters are leveraged with the traits common to their species. In my life, I have raised many types of animals and know what they are like.

Observing animals opens your eyes to their "societies". 

I saw a small green scalaria (an aquarium fish) saving a large black scalaria that was weak and seak from a goldfish that was 5 times larger than the savior. Seeing this incredible rescue made me change my opinion of fish forever. 

I really like quails. These very curious birds are always busy with lots of problems to solve. 

It was very interesting to see that our dogs could communicate with each other over a distance without seeing each other and without making sounds. A kind of telepathy.

But among all animals, Maine Coon cats occupy a special place. Many people call them dog-cats for many psychological traits of their characters. 

They are very attached to their humans. They follow you everywhere, they control you, and demand lots of attention and cuddles as a confirmation of your love and their possession of you. They learn your habits and "help" you follow them. 

Hestia, the "white" female above, knows that I work for an hour with my students and she starts walking in front of me as soon as an hour is over. I can't chat with them because she covers my computer camera. 

And it didn't end there. I don't know how she knows what time the alarm has to ring and she wakes me up a few minutes earlier.

All my cats wait for me on the terrace when I leave the house. The most curious thing is that they run in front of the front door as soon as I open the gate. They can't see me. How do they know that this is really me and not my neighbors? A secret.

I brought our 8-month-old kitten to my mother. She didn't want it that much. But then she discovered that he stood at the door before she had to go out and didn't move from there until she got home. She fell in love with him when she saw that he loved her so much. 

The same cat understood that it was important to my mother when the phone rang. He saw that she didn't hear it and started calling her.

Maine Coon cats love to do what their owner does. Even eating what the owner eats. Having breakfast together is a way of togetherness for them. Timur, the red-white cat in the photos, ate tomatoes because I ate them. And even pickled cabbage (photo)!

I like the way they talk to me. And they are really very talkative. 

Mifi! - What? 

Hestia, you did it! - Oh, what are you saying? You accuse me without proof!

Another curiosity is that males who reach 13 kilos in weight and one meter in body length (Timur in the photos) have an almost inaudible and high voice. 

Kittens learn commands very easily and follow them. If you immediately train your kitten to come when you call, this can save you from unpleasant situations. The Maine Coon will not run headlong out of fear into an unknown place, but even if it runs away, it will respond and come when you call it. Little Maine Coons willingly bring an apport, a toy that you throw. They happily run after it and carry it so that you can throw it away once more.

Another feature of them is that they easily get used to walking on a leash (harness with leash). You can take them with you when you go on vacation or go out with friends. If you have trained them to do it. One of our kittens spent her holidays with her owners on the boat (in Genoa). 

It's possible to talk about them all the day. In any case, Maine Coons are truly fantastic life companions.
