The Maine Coon tends to be a very mild-mannered, loyal, playful cat. Their body structure is slightly larger than the average domestic cat, but don't let that fool you, they are very sweet and docile.

Predispositions for potential health problems include liver disease and heart disease (hepatic lipidosis, cardiomyopathy), but as with all cats, proper annual checkups and regular vet visits will help keep these conditions at bay (usually occur during senior years, although liver disease can occur early in life, and in any cat)

The Maine Coon is no more difficult to train indoors as any other cat, they are quick to learn and eager to please their owners.
