I love cats and I'm thinking about getting a Maine Coon-breed cat!
Well, it is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America, so you're definitely getting a breed with history and character.
I think they're beautiful! They are pretty large cats though, aren't they?
Yes, distinctively large, hair is quite long from what I've seen. They make excellent hunters, so I hope you don't own birds!
Thanks for the warning, I don't but I will definitely make sure to keep the cat inside! Is this breed of cat known to have any major health issues?
Not in my experience. My veterinarian friends like to call them the dog of the cat world, because of how they generally act.
Oh really? They must be intelligent cats! Do they get along well with other cats?
Absolutely! They're super sociable with most domestic animals. They're somewhat protective of infants too, in case that's relevant to you.
Aw, they sound like such great kitties!  Thanks for your advice!
They really are, they're an extremely popular breed nowadays. I think you're making a good choice!
