The Maine Coon cat is a special kind of breed. For a household cat, these felines are enormous. Holding the record for the longest domesticated breed of cat (48.5 inches), adult males average an astonishing length of around three feet from nose to tail-tip and max out at approximately 16-17 inches tall.

A Maine Coon will cost about the same as a 1-year lease for a Ford Focus, but the lovable monsters are worth every penny.
