The Maine Coon is the "offical state cat" of Maine/USA.
The second part of the name refers to a plume tail like a raccoon, unequalled to any other cat.
40% of Maine Coons were polydactyl, but in the early days of showing, it was considered a defect and bred out of the Maine Coon. Nowadays there is a big revival of the polydactyl Maine Coon and the Polydactyl Maine Coon is becoming increasingly popular these days.
