response: There actually aren't any records of their exact origins or date of introduction into the United States, so it's hard to say.
history: Hi, I think the Maine Coo.n cat is so pretty. Can you tell me more about it? Oh sure!  For starters, amongst domesticated cat breeds, they are some of the largest! Wow, I didn't realize they were much bigger than other cats. Where did they come from?
knowledge: No records of the Maine Coon's exact origins and date of introduction to the United States exist, so several competing hypotheses have been suggested.
