The Many Shades of Maine Coon CatsMaine Coon cats come in a wide variety of colors. Some people believe the different colors come with different personality traits but I'm not so sure about thist Whichever color Maine Coon you choose, you will find yourself sharing your world with one of the most sociable and gentle domestic cats in the world Maine Coons are revered for being the perfect family cat which is probably why they are also the most popular domestic breed. They are full of character and will provide you with endless hours of joy and entertainment!

Smoke Maine Coon coat colors A smoke-colored Maine Coon cat looks like it has fur of just one color on the surface but at the roots, its hair is much lighter than the at the tips. Here is the range of smoke colors available:
Tabby Maine Coon coat colors A tabby Maine Coon cat has fur that is mottled or streaked with stripes. Tabbies are one of the most sought-after Maine Coon colors. They are split into the following five categories: Classic Tabby colors
Mackerel Tabby colors
Silver Classic Tabby colors

Eyes The Maine Coon has beautiful eyes. They are large, round, wide-set and have a slightly oblique setting. Their eye color may be shades of green, gold or amber but there is no relationship between eye color and coat color, except in solid white cats, which may be blue-eyed, amber-eyed, green-eyed or odd-eyed.
