Maine C**ns are known as the "gentle giants" and possess above - average intelligence, making them relatively easy to train. They are known for being loyal to their family and cautious - but not mean - around strangers, but are independent and not clingy. The Maine C**n is generally not known for being a "lap cat" but their gentle disposition makes the breed relaxed around dogs, other cats, and ch
ildren. They are playful throughout their lives, with males tending to be more clownish and females generally possessing more dignity. Many Maine C**ns have a fascination with water and some theorize that this personality trait comes from their ancestors, who were aboard ships for much of their lives.
