Place of Origin
A The Maine Coon is America's national cat, because of it's special characteristics.
There are many surprising and unlikely legends about their origin, starting from the genetical
impossibility that they're a mixture of cats and raccoons, to
being Marie Antoinette's cat. On the contrary of this their heirs are probably the Norwegian cats who came with the vikings, or
cats who travelled from Europe, and were capable of bearing the harsh climate on sea, and were able to catch the mice living on the ship
