Thread: what is the difference between american born maine coon and mc not born in the states

It's also to do with registries, for example in CFA the chunkier but rounder looking cat is more favoured, in TICA the longer more feral look is often preferred, it used to be in GCCF that the heavier rounder look was favoured, but there are more and more longer cats doing well at GCCF shows, where FIFe was for the more feral look, and cats can now do well in both registries. It's all down to personal choice and breeding, personally I prefer the more feral look :-)
