Thread: Maine Coon cats as wanderers?

Do Maine Coon cats have a tendency to roam? Do they accept being kept inside as house cats?

My Samantha was an indoor only kitty for her entire 16 years, when I left the door open she never stray very far from the door.

I leave doors and windows open but Buddy has no interest in going out. He may stray as far as the doorstep to sunbathe buts that's about it. Following advice on here I built an enclosure in the garden to give him freedom but he hasn't used it. That said there was a coonie reported missing in here recently. Think like most breeds its individual.

Do you love your cats?
Do you want them to live a long healthy lifes?
Make them indoor kitties.
Indoors VS Outdoors - Cats Really Are Safer Inside

Thanks for the replies. I ask because I had one who was such a tyrant about going out that he dug the weatherstripping out from around the back door in an effort to get it open. He would also leap at and try to grab the door handle. I wondered if they were all so intent on going outside. I'm happy to hear that they're not, because I'd like to get another one.

As long as you provide them with a way to entertain themselves they will be perfectly fine inside, they might like a buddy, they love their toys and stuff to climb on.
Give a couple Maine Coons a Cat Tree and some toys to play with and sit back and enjoy the show.
