Fun Fact Friday: Barn Cats of Old ❤

Back in the “old days” when the Maine Coon breed was developing their distinctive traits and appearance, before they were a recognized breed, they were barn cats!

In Maine, if you had a big 'ole tabby toughing out the harsh winters in your barn who had a shaggy coat, bushy tail, and was a good mouser, you had yourself a “Coon Cat.”

Of course, now barn cats are barn cats and Maine Coons are preserved by breeders. But what an interesting history!
