Maine Coon

The Maine Coon is among the largest domesticated breeds of cats. It has a distinctive physical appearance and valuable hunting skills. It is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America, specifically native to the state of Maine, where it is the official state cat.

Although no records exist regarding the Maine Coon's exact origins and date of introduction to the United States, there are multiple competing theories. The breed was popular in cat shows in the late 19th century, but its existence became threatened when long-haired breeds from overseas were introduced in the early 20th century. The Maine Coon has since made a comeback and is now one of the most popular cat breeds in the world.

The Maine Coon is a large and sociable cat, hence its nickname, "the gentle giant". It is characterized by a robust bone structure, rectangular body shape, a silky flowing coat and a long, bushy tail. The breed's colors vary widely, with only lilac and chocolate disallowed for pedigree. Reputed for its intelligence and playful, gentle personality, the Maine Coon is often cited as having "dog-like" characteristics. Professionals notice certain health problems in the breed including feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia, but reputable breeders use modern screening methods to minimize the frequency of these problems.

Maine

Maine (i/ˈmeɪn/; French: État du Maine) is a state in New England, in the United States. Maine is the 39th most extensive and the 42nd most populous of the 50 U.S. states. It is bordered by New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the east and north, respectively. Maine is the northernmost state in the contiguous United States east of the Great Lakes. It is known for its jagged, rocky coastline; low, rolling mountains; heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways; and also its seafood cuisine, especially lobster and clams. In spite of its maritime position, it has a continental climate even in coastal areas such as its largest city, Portland. The state capital is Augusta with a population of 19,136 (2010), making it the third least-populous state capital (after Montpelier, Vermont and Pierre, South Dakota) in the nation.

For thousands of years, indigenous peoples were the only inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine. At the time of European encounter, several Algonquian-speaking peoples inhabited the area. The first European settlement in Maine was by the French in 1604 on Saint Croix Island, by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, was established by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and conflict with the local peoples caused many to fail over the years.

    Mine Again

    by: Mariah Carey

    I remember when you used to be mine
    Way back when
    I was too naive to love you right
    But now if I only had the opportunity
    I would do anything
    Because my heart still believes
    Maybe you could be mine again
    Maybe we could make that dream for real
    Like way back then
    When love was yours and mine
    Maybe we could bring it back to life
    It's irrelevant to dwell on the past
    I'm accountable for what went bad
    And I mean that
    But I keep on praying for another chance
    Just to have you back
    Cause I've grown
    And I know how to be your everything
    Maybe you could be mine again
    Maybe we could make that dream for real
    Like way back then
    When love was yours and mine
    Maybe we could bring it back to life
    No, no it ain't over yet
    I just can't accept the possibility
    We weren't made for each other's arms
    I know you're my destiny
    We can't erase what was meant to be
    Part of you and part of me
    If we try one more time
    Maybe somehow we'll survive
    Maybe you could be mine again
    Maybe we could make that dream for real
    Like way back then
    When love was yours and mine
    Boy maybe we could bring it back
    Maybe we could bring it back
    Maybe we could bring it back to...
    Life
