Yes, maincoon cats make good mousers, cause they came over on ships that were invested with mice..
It all depends on the personalities of the cats. Maine Coons are friendly and kitten like. But a shy timid cat might not be a good fit for a Maine Coon.
Walking on snow, keeping warm in cold climates
It depends. Some cat breeds are aggressive and solitary. others are affectionate and kind like to Tiffany and the Maine Coon which are two beautiful and VERY affectionate cats. I own a Maine Coon. There is not ONE generalization to sum up how good all cats are. Do some research on nice cat breeds and mean cat breeds.
a main coon is a long hair cat and American short hair comes in short and long hair
As long as your Maine Coon is kept in good health, it's life expectancy should be 12-15 years.
No Maine coons should be groomed once a day for good hygiene.
I think a good name for a Maine Coon is Simba..:)..X
yes I have 3 chihuahuas of my own and the breed ,chihuahua, would be a good mousers
I can tell you of how my aunt got a stray cat to have kittens in her yard. There was a beautiful stray Maine coon that was always prancing in her yard. Obsessed about the cat, my aunt put out some cat food for a week in the hope that she could tame her. The cat came around more often. She then placed the food closer to her house and started to interact with the cat. The Maine coon got so comfortable with her that she was able to take food from her hand. Soon my aunt set up a little house filled with soft pillows for the cat and left the food beside that instead. The Maine coon started sleeping in the little house. Before you know it the Maine coon had made the little house into a den for her baby kittens. Cats won't have kittens in a place where they aren't comfortable, so try to make them fell at home. Good luck!
Many dogs actually are good mousers; the rat terrier is probably the best renowned for this.
Some people think that Maine Coons can be identified by the "M" on their foreheads. Actually, the "M" is present in almost every cat with tabby markings and many Maine Coons are tabbies. Solid color, bi-color and tortoiseshell Maine Coons without tabby markings will not have the "M". So this is not a good answer as to how distinguish between a Maine Coon and a Ragamuffin.
Cats with long fur (usually termed "Longhair") usually have fluffy tails. Some mixed breeds and some certain purebreeds are Longhaired, so going by fur alone is not a good indicator of breed. Examples of longhaired breeds with very fluffy tails include: Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat, Persian and Ragdoll. However, mixed breed cats can also have very fluffy tails also.
