Maine Coon Growth And Weights - Maine Coon Fancy
The Maine Coon cat is widely recognized as the largest breed of domestic cats. Males average 15-25 pounds while females average between 10-15 pounds, but both sexes can grow even larger. Typically a Maine Coon will stand anywhere from 10 to 16 inches tall, and average around 40 inches long from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail bone. Although some do grow taller and longer than this. Unlike regular domestic cats that reach maturity and full size by the end of their first year, Maine Coon cats are slow developers and do not achieve their full size until they are 3 to 5 years old. During kitten hood, Maine Coon's will on average, gain double the weight of domestic cats. A whopping 2 pounds per month versus the 1 pound for domestics.
