Do Maine Coons Have a Naturally Gentle Temperament?
There is a reason Maine Coon cats are known as the "gentle giants" of the cat community.
They are very social and love to be around people as well as other pets.
Maine Coons are also very aware of their size, which helps when they're with smaller animals, like this little chick.
They are very gentle and calm and known not to be aggressive.
Maine Coons also have a very strong sense of loyalty, which can manifest into strong, protective instincts, especially toward their young and their humans.
According to Maine Coon Cat Nation, they are very loyal to their humans.
These kitties will follow their parents from room to room, position themselves between you and someone visiting, or face the door when they sit near you.
And in their senior years, they are known to become even more affectionate and gentle.
