My favorite cat is the maine coon. They have the best disgruntled faces, look like mini lions, and can grow into massive beast-size beings.

Here are some facts about these furry felines:
•official state cat of Maine
•second to the persian for favorite cat breed in the world

•the longest cat, according to the 2006 Guinness Book of World Records, is 48 inches long and weighs 35 pounds
