How big are Maine Coon cats?

Maine Coons typically weigh between nine and 18 pounds and stand 10 to 16 inches tall, with male Maine Coons being significantly larger than females. However, some Maine Coons can grow even larger than that, with a few males weighing up to 25 pounds or more. Their muscular bodies contribute to this larger frame, and they have taller and longer bodies than other feline breeds.

The past two Guinness World Record holders for the world’s longest cat were both Maine Coons. Compared to an average cat, this breed more closely resembles the weight and length of a small dog (and their personalities are more similar to canines as well).
