Maine Coon cats are a specific breed of cat, with very specific characteristics. Classically, the Maine Coon cat will have long hair, a ringed tail like a raccoon, and will be generally somewhat smaller than the normal domestic cat.
Coatis and ringtails are members of the raccoon family and they look kinda like them. Also, the tanuki or raccoon dog from Russia and Japan looks incredibly like a raccoon, but is actually a kind of wild dog!
