Abstract

Maine coon cats, which have adapted to the harsh Maine winters by growing longer fur and developing wide paws for walking on snow, are now the second most popular breed in the United States. The cats, called coon cats because of their resemblance to racoons, are now showing up on the cat show circuit.
