Cat Breeds - Maine Coon
Their extreme intelligence makes them a relatively easy cat to train and may explain their "dog-like" behavior. Playing fetch is a favorite game, where they'll bring their ball, drop it your feet and wait for it to be thrown. They can indeed be large cats, growing up to 40 inches long and even healthy cats can weigh as much as 25 pounds.
Maine Coons have medium-long, dense fur, with longer hair, or a ruff, on their chests similar to the mane of a lion. They're also distinguished by their long, bushy tail and large ears which are tipped by tufts of fur.

they also have tufts of fur between their toes and are very loyal. I found Goldielocks at a truckstop 3 months after hurricane Katrina. It took a month of regular feeding before she would let me pet her and another month before she would sleep in my van with me.Now 2 1/2 years later she is so devoted to me that she waits outside for me to come home every night and once I left her at a friends house for the night, they said they would never babysit her again because she kept them awake all night howling for me. We have never spent a night apart since then.
