We have a Maine Coon Cat. Big guy 20 Lbs. He has morals and ethics. He watches us eat dinner. We can leave the table and retun 15 or 20 minutes later and he will be still there with our food undisturbed. When he wants to go out he just sits in front of the door. We put his cat carrier atop an old bureau (up high). Half the time he goes in on his own and sleeps inside. Great pet.
How does he like riding of the roof of the car to the vet? ;-)
I have a 25 lb Maine Coon. Precious cat who gets along wonderfully with my Golden Retriever & my 2 Blue Heeler puppies. In fact, he dominates them, lol.
Maine Coons are also extremely intelligent.
