1. The Maine Coon is believed to be descended from from the interbreeding of American shorthaired cats with long-haired European breeds, such as the Norwegian Forest Cat. Maine Coons and their ancestral breeds are believed to have been kept as working cats on merchant ships and New England farms, for the purpose of catching pests. Here's a picture of mine.

2. None. The Maine Coon Cat is native to North America. Here are a couple of websites about them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_Coon http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/maine.html http://www.verismocat.com/htmscripts/origins.htm
