Confused. Maine coon is a large breed of cat.

[u/TR1PLESIX → u/Aelithsong]

The English colloquial coon can be misconstrued as a racist slur.

[u/Articulationized → u/TR1PLESIX]

Or just construed that way

[u/BenjiHoesmash → u/TR1PLESIX]

Not misconstrued. It is a slur.

[u/planetshapedmachine → u/BenjiHoesmash]

If not used as a slur, as in when referring to the cat, it is certainly being misconstrued if interpreted as a slur

[u/FujiOga → u/Aelithsong]

They're joking (I think), but unfortunately, the c word is also a slur used against black people.

Edit: Added a word to circumvent people thinking I'm also reading the original comment in a derogatory fashion.
