In today's video, we're going to talk about these 5 Big Cat Breeds.


Big or small, super furry or hairless—whatever size, shape, or style our cats come in, we love ’em all. Still, in an effort to get to know all the different types of cat breed available, we thought we’d take a look at some of the large cat breeds out there. After all—what’s not to love about a large cat that gives you more to snuggle with?


Maine Coon.

The Maine Coon is a native New Englander, hailing from Maine, where they were popular mousers, farm cats, and–most likely–ship’s cats, at least as far back as the early 19th century.

The Maine Coon cat is one of the largest domestic cat breeds available. Maine Coon’s tend to be friendly and people-oriented and can weigh anywhere from 9 to 18 pounds.

They can climb as well as any cat but usually prefer to stay on ground level. That's where their work is, after all. They're also very smart and will happily learn tricks or play with puzzle toys that challenge their brain.

Maine Coons usually enjoy a kittenish love of play well into adulthood. Males, especially, are prone to silly behavior. Females are more dignified, but they aren't above a good game of chase. Not especially vocal, they make any requests in a soft chirp or trill.

But these kitties have more going for them than size. They’re affectionate without being needy, they’re adaptable, and they’ve kept their hunting instincts, just in case you need a good mouser. If you can handle a whole lot of cats, this kitty might be a perfect addition to your family.


Ragdoll.

With positive reinforcement, Ragdoll cats learn quickly and can pick up tricks as well as good behaviors such as using a scratching post. The Ragdoll cat is an all-around best buddy to just about everyone. They love their human families–even children–and will get along with other pets fairly well.

Docile, sweet, and happy to relax for a good cuddle session, the loving Ragdoll will even greet their humans at the door when they come home. If you’re looking for a companion, you can’t find a much better choice than one of these easygoing felines.

Unlike many cats, Ragdolls are notable for collapsing into the arms of anyone who holds them, even if they are cradled on their back. They love their people, greeting them at the door, following them around the house, and leaping into a lap or snuggling in bed whenever given the chance. They often learn to come when called or to retrieve toys that are thrown for them.

This semi-long-haired domestic breed loves people and can weigh anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds. But why are they called Ragdoll? While it’s true that this breed is generally happy to be around people, they do tend to go limp when picked up … hence their ragdoll reputation.


American Bobtail.

With his short tail, tufted ears and toes, and powerful body, the American Bobtail has a distinctively wild look. Let’s say you love the Golden Retriever’s personality, but his size and energy level are a bit more than you can handle. American Bobtail lovers say you should take a look at their cat instead. He’s a lover with a heart of gold who is devoted to his people, follows them around, loves to play, walks nicely on a leash (after training, of course), and welcomes guests with a smile.

This is a smart cat who enjoys puzzle toys, learning tricks, and playing fetch. He isn’t as vocal as some breeds, but he communicates his pleasure with chirps, clicks, and trills, as well as the standard purr and meow. The American Bobtail has an adaptable nature, so he’s a good traveler. Long-distance truckers and Rvers find him to be an excellent companion.

The cats have also found a niche with some psychotherapists because of their loving and intuitive nature. That same adaptability and kindness make him a good family companion and suited to a variety of lifestyles, from relaxed to rowdy. Their short tails are about the only thing “small” on this large cat, which can weigh from 7 to 16 pounds.
