  Maine Coon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maine Coons have medium-long, dense fur, with longer hair, or a ruff, on their chests similar to the mane of a lion (which is why the breed is sometimes humorously called the "Mane Coon").
Maine Coons are noted for their ability to trill their meows, which sounds like a combination of a purr and a meow, and they tend to make this sound when happy or startled.
Maine Coons are usually not "lap" cats, and many Maine Coons, possibly because of their size, are not comfortable with sitting on a person's lap or chest, though this may depend on the personality of the individual cat.

Coon cheese was introduced to Australia in the early 1930's by Fred Walker from the Kraft Walker Cheese Company.
He liked the sharp flavours that came from the traditional methods of many months of natural ageing, under natural temperatures and frowned upon the blandness of natural cheese that was matured in refrigerated conditions and loss of flavour and texture during pastuerisation.
Edward Coon then set about determining the conditions under which he could achieve the full-bodied flavour of a matured cheese in a shorter time, ensuring quality and the absence of the usual defects.
