What is the largest domesticated cat breed?
2 Answers
The Maine Coon is the largest domesticated cat breed. It is a long-haired breed with a distinctive physical appearance and valuable hunting skills. Maine Coons are known for their intelligence and playful personalities. They typically weigh between 10 and 25 pounds, and can reach up to 40 inches in length.
Maine Coons are considered by many to be the largest of the true domestic breeds (they are not wild cat hybrids) because of their long bodies and relatively heavy weight. Maine Coons can be easily over a metre in length from nose to tip of tail and can weigh over 11kg although ~8kg is much more common.
