Maine Coon Cat VS. Siamese Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?


Maine Coon is a big, rugged cat with a smooth, shaggy coat who looks as if they could put in a full day mousing on a farm in all weather conditions. Indeed, they were built for just such work in the harsh Maine climate, and their breed standard reflects their heritage, calling for a mediumsize to large cat with a wellproportioned body that is muscular and broadchested. A Maine Coon has substantial, mediumlength legs and large, round paws, well tufted with fur, to serve as “snowshoes” during winter.

A heavy coat is shorter on the shoulders, longer on the stomach, and britches (long fur on the upper hind legs), with a ruff in front and a long, furry tail waving a greeting. A mediumwidth head is slightly longer than it is wide and has a squarish muzzle. Large, welltufted ears are wide at the base, tapering to a point, and large, expressive eyes are green, gold, greenishgold, or copper. White or bicolored Maine Coons may have blue or odd eyes.

The brown tabby pattern is so common in this breed that many people don't know Maine Coons can come in any other colors or patterns. They might be surprised to learn that Maine Coons are found in solid colors that include black, red, or white, all tabby colors and patterns, bicolor such as blue and white or red and white, and patterns such as tortoiseshell and calico.

Most cat associations call for the Siamese to have a svelte but muscular body with long lines. The wedgeshaped head is long and tapering from the narrow point of the nose outward to the tips of the ears, forming a triangle. The unusually large ears are wide at the base, pointed at the tip, giving them the same triangular shape as the head. Mediumsize almondshaped eyes are always a deep vivid blue. The body is often described as tubular and is supported by long, slim legs, with the hind legs higher than the front legs. The Siamese walks on small, dainty, oval paws and swishes a long, thin tail that tapers to a fine point.

The short coat of the Siamese has a fine texture. In the Cat Fanciers Association, it comes in four colors: seal point, a pale fawn to the cream body with deep seal brown points and deep brown nose leather and paw pads; chocolate point, an ivory body with milk chocolatecolored points and cinnamonpink nose leather and paw pads; blue point, a bluishwhite body with deep blue points and slatecolored nose leather and paw pads; and lilac point, a glacial white body with frosty pinkygray points and lavenderpink nose leather and paw pads.
