Quote from Bukes Backyard
"Maine Coon cats are friendly and gentle, but not too demanding. They could not really be described as 'lap cats', although some individuals may enjoy sitting on laps. They get on well with children, dogs and other pets. They are very playful, and have a life-long kittenish disposition. They have a soft, high-pitched, chirping voice.
American sources say that Maine Coons are renowned hunters. They are good mousers and are large enough to catch hares. There are concerns that introducing such large, strong cats into Australia could put our native wildlife at risk, especially if the cats have bad temperaments. Burke's Backyard vet, Rob Zammit, reports that so far, the Maine Coons he has seen are gentle creatures, which don't seem very interested in hunting".
