Are you one of those people who could literally have a hundred pets and still find another pet that looks just too cute to say no? Well, I am like this, but I somehow always get myself to be reasonable again, lol. If you are asking yourself: Are Maine Coon cats good with dogs? – you are probably thinking about getting a new friend for your Maine Coon or for your dog.

Maine Coon cats are known for being the most gentle and friendly cat breed. They are very good with kids since they are very tolerant and sensitive. And they are also good with dogs, actually. Most Maine Coon cats tend to be a little shy at first, but after a couple of days, your Maine Coon will try to get in contact with your dog. Since Maine Coon cats are not aggressive at all, they are one of the best cat breeds that can be kept together with dogs.

There you have it. If you have a dog or a Maine Coon and you are planning on keeping these pets together, you should definitely go for it. As you know now, Maine Coon cats are very friendly, patient and tolerant. Most other cat breeds would, even if they tolerate the dog to a certain point, slap or bite the dog when they are tired of the dog doing something that annoys them. Not a Maine Coon, though. Most Maine Coon cats will simply go away instead of scratching the dog.

Actually, we have a house cat and a Maine Coon cat. The house cat is very grumpy at times and she can be really mean. Even though our regular house cat bites, scratches and hisses at our Maine Coon cat, we have never seen our Maine Coon cat being aggressive.

Our Maine Coon always stays calm and endures the mean behavior of our regular house cat until she calms down. No biting, no scratching, nothing. If our house cat does not calm down, our Maine Coon simply walks away … even though she is a little bit sad then.

So as you see, Maine Coon cats are known for being good with other animals and my personal experience totally backs this up.
