4. Size and appearance

Maine coons are one of the largest breeds of domesticated cats, with males weighing up to 18 pounds. Females are smaller but still relatively large. Their coats are long and silky, and their ears feature distinctive tufts at the tip that are reminiscent of lynx or other wild cats. The breed standard states that they should be well-proportioned.
