A
myth about the Maine Coon, which is trait-based, though
genetically impossible, is the idea that the modern Maine Coon descended from
ancestors of semi-feral domestic cats and racoons.
This myth would account for the common color of the breed (brown tabby)
and its bushy tail. Another idea is that the Maine Coon originated between the mating’s
of domestic cats and wild bobcats,
which could explain the tufts of hairs that are so commonly seen on the tips of
the ears.
