The world learned about the existence of Maine Coons from American breeders. The name of the breed is translated as "Maine Coon". And if everything is clear with the first term in this phrase ("Maine" - from the name of the American state of Maine), then the second requires clarification. The unusual striped color and fluffy tails of Maine Coons generated among breeders a legend that the breed is obtained by crossing a representative of the cat family with a raccoon. The legend remained a legend, but the word "Coon" (short for "racoon") still stuck to the breed.
The most beautiful version of the appearance of giant cats in North America can be considered the legend of the failed escape of Queen Marie Antoinette. Expecting reprisals from the French revolutionaries, Louis XIV's wife was about to flee to the American continent and as a precaution sent a ship with her dearest belongings, including her favorite longhaired cats, ahead of her. The whiskered-tailed cargo made it safely to the shores of New England and, mating freely with the local shorthair cats, gave birth to a new breed that soon spread throughout the state.
