Our Breeding Philosophy
At MyGeekTails, our breeding philosophy is rooted in three core values: health, temperament, and authenticity.
Health First: Every cat in our breeding program undergoes rigorous health screenings, including genetic testing for common feline diseases (HCM, SMA, PKDef). We work closely with veterinarians to ensure all kittens receive the best possible start in life, including proper vaccinations, deworming, and a nutritious diet.
Temperament Matters: Maine Coons are known as the “gentle giants” of the cat world, and we strive to nurture that affectionate, playful personality from day one. Our kittens are raised in our home—not cages—where they are exposed to people, other pets, and everyday household activities.
Preserving the European Lineage: We focus on true European Maine Coon bloodlines, known for their wild, majestic look—think strong muzzles, high cheekbones, tall ears with lynx tips, and robust bodies. This sets us apart from many catteries who breed American lines, which tend to have softer features and a more domestic appearance.
European vs. American Maine Coons
Though both types fall under the same breed standard, there are key differences between European and American Maine Coons:
Appearance:
European: More wild-looking features, longer and more defined muzzles, bushier tails, higher ear placement with prominent lynx tips, and a muscular build.
American: Softer, more rounded features, shorter muzzles, and a more domesticated appearance overall.
Temperament: Both types share the Maine Coon’s classic playful, loyal, and intelligent nature. However, breeders of European lines often place a strong emphasis on both personality and striking appearance.
Rarity: European Maine Coons are harder to find in the U.S., and we are proud to offer this exclusive lineage to families looking for something truly special.
