Fun Facts About Maine Coons
Previously I shared about how these cats got the “Maine” in their name.
This week I want to start sharing how they the “Coon” came about!
According to one tale, an English seafarer named Captain Charles Coon
Kept long-haired cats aboard his ship.
Whenever Coon’s ship would anchor in New England ports,
The cats would leave the ship and mate with the local feral cat population.
In time, long-haired kittens began appearing in the local litters.
These kittens were referred to as “Coon’s cats”!
Sound plausible?
