Several legends circulate about him, which add to his mystery. The hypothesis of a cross between a cat and a raccoon (Racoon in English) has been put forward, although genetically impossible, but which would explain its original color and its bushy tail.
The Maine Coon may also have arrived by boat in the United States: descended from Marie Antoinette's cats, or Viking cats, or even the sailor Captain Coon. Anyway, this nice cat has kept the sea legs and a very strong taste for playing with water!
