Apesar da raça ter se popularizado nos EUA, não está claro de onde é a origem da espécie.

A teoria mais provável é que esses gigantes bichanos são descendentes de gatos domésticos de pelo curto e de pelo longo que foram transportados para o Novo Mundo por marinheiros da Nova Inglaterra ou pelos vikings, que mantinham gatos a bordo de seus navios para controlar a proliferação de roedores.

Essa teoria afirma que os descendentes desses enormes felinos pertenciam a Charles Coons, um marinheiro britânico que viajou pelos mares da Nova Inglaterra no início do século XIX.

De acordo com a hipótese principal de como os Maine Coons surgiram, conforme abordamos acima, os gatos domésticos locais cruzaram com gatos trazidos por imigrantes europeus.

Esses felinos acabaram adquirindo instintos de caça e um tamanho acima da média para suportar os invernos rigorosos da região da Nova Inglaterra, nos EUA.
