Biscuit is the sweetest animal on earth! He loves everyone - our other 3 cats, who he watches over, and his Cat Mom and Cat Dad.

He is amazingly bright. If we cannot find one of our cats, he will lead us to them if we ask him!

He is absolutely adored. Not to mention completely gorgeous! Everyone at our Vet's loves him - the even have photos of him on their wall.

What a divine creature he is!




My "Little" Friend

by: Karen R Miller in Portage, IN

grey and white maine coon cat

Gracen came to live with us the beginning of November, and has made himself right at home.

Into everything, and has no fear. When he hears my voice, he comes running. Typing was a problem, but purchasing a key protecter helped.

He has captured everyone's heart already, except for Simon, my older cat, but Gracen will eventually win him over.

He was born on my mother's birthday, June 6th, and he is gray, so Gracen was picked. I almost changed the spelling to Grasin.

It's a sin to have a cat this ornery, his favorite game right now. I bought an automatic litter box. He gets in, then out as the drum spins, he watches it and bats at it.

With his 7 toes per foot, he uses those feet to grab food, knock items off the counter. He is just busy.. if I don't hear something hit the floor daily.

He is learning "down-no" right now, its a slow process, but I think he will get it - when he is ready.

He already knows his name, and he is an absolute (you pick) joy, pain, lol

I look forward to seeing him grow into an adult, with many months of adventures. I took him to the vet the other day, with one of my parrots, he played in his crate the whole time (with the door open) and watched as they took care of my bird.

After they examined him, he walked around the room, jumped on the desk, tried to knock a few things over, got down, walked over and got back in his crate, and layed down - perfect patient.

Well, I could go on and on, about the antics, but I have too much to say.

He is quickly making me a cat lover. I have always been a dog person, and have always really like cats, but this guys is making me wish I had a couple more just like him!

Dax is 11 months old and weighs 18 lbs. Everyone’s eye catches his beauty.

He has learned to open every door in our home. I can't hide from him! Miss Fancy is very vocal she says mom all day, like a toddler. :)

We love them so much. They came from two separate loving homes in Russia to us at 4 and 5 months old.

We are planning to breed them in January. They are both Black Smoke. Hopefully, I will be posting pictures of kittens in the spring.

He loves to play soccer with one kibble, batting back and forth before eating it and looking at me, with a chirp to play again.

Mobi is a sweet, timid, curious, chatty 10 year old Gentle Giant.

He has two extra digits on each paw which is a challenge as he does not like his claws to be trimmed.

I have SO many photos of him, but here are just a few. He is a blue tabby with white, I think it's called.

This is Whiskers, my big baby boy. Was told when we rescued him when he was orphan (his mom died they and were outdoors cats).

The vet said he looks like he is mixed with Maine Coon. That was 11 years ago.

I wouldn’t trade him for the world. He’s been there my good and bad times with his chirping and cuddling.

Ariel and Oberon

Ariel and Oberon are both the grey moons of Uranus, and Shakespearian wraiths.

Ariel (smaller one) is the spirit freed by Prospero in "The Tempest", Oberon (bigger one, w/ the 1000-yard stare...) is the king of the fairies in "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Anyone who has a Maine Coon SHOULD have 2, just for the pure pleasure!

Kong is 6 months young. He is full of energy and love! He weighs in at about 11 lbs right now… growing every day.

I have spoiled him and that is exactly where I want him and intend to keep him. He loves to climb and explore so I try to get him new items to expand his horizon as often as possible.

His favorite treats are Greenies catnip treats. I love and enjoy all his chips and trills when he’s talking to me and others.

His enormous, fluffy feet are one of my favorite characteristics of his. He adopted a couple of dsh kittens out of our rescue litters this year.

He is adorable teaching them how to climb his trees and steps on the walls. He is a joy to watch and to be around. What a lovely boy!!

Apollo is six months old and was a gift for my 10 year old daughter after she and I reunited after a year of being a part.

She has always wanted a dog but due to our circumstances, we cannot have a dog. What's the next best thing? A Maine Coon!!

So Apollo joined our family. He loves running on his cat wheel, hunting for lizards while walking on his harness, eating massive amounts of food, purring so loudly that it almost shakes the walls, and bringing nothing but complete joy and happiness to my daughter and I.

Follow-up: Apollo is a seven month old male Who owns our heart in our household. He eats so much we can barely keep his hunger satisfied.

He loves to go walking outside on a leash and climbs to the top of trees as far as his leash Wall will allow him which is 26 feet.

Although he doesn’t like water much, because of his outside shenanigans, he needs to have a bath on occasion. He’s extremely vocal and affectionate.

Shadow is such a sweet loving cat! He can be very independent sometimes but will purr anytime you come near him.

Sometimes he likes to eat food with his paws, which is funny to watch. He also loves to hang out in all our bathroom sinks :)

He just turned 1 on June 20th and now weighs 18 lbs. Shadow lives with Rudolph "Rudy" his Grey Tabby brother cat, Buddy "the elf" Aussiedoodle brother, and Penelope "Penny" his Yorkie sister.

We all love him so much!!!

We are looking forward to many years of happiness with Max and Dot.

Toby was our big lover boy. He weighed 19 lbs and followed us around the ranch like a dog.

We would sometimes find him sleeping in the dog house.

Toby got cancer and crossed over the rainbow bridge about 2 years ago, and I miss him very much.

Kimber

by: Suzanne in Harrisburg, PA

female brown patch tabby maine coon cat.

Meet Kimber: She's a 10-year-old, 17-pound brown-patch tabby that still likes to play-- mostly swatting at wand toys or chasing bugs.

Her Majesty enjoys napping, getting her chin rubbed and demanding her yogurt in the morning.

Like most Coonies, she is very vocal and has quite the vocabulary. She will let you know if something is amiss.

The first time she saw snow, she woke us up in the middle of the night to show us!

We've had many adventures in the 10 years we've been together. She was absolutely the craziest kitten I've ever had.

When she was about 4 months old, she was so energetic that I wondered what I'd gotten myself into. She has settled down nicely and has been a wonderful companion.

I would not trade her for anything.

Kimber is beautiful! Our Buddy is very much like Kimber in personality. He’s only 3 yrs, but he’s our family in our retired years.

My Puffun
by: Barbara S.
I must admit that I love your Kimber since she and my Puffin could be twins!

That face and her coloring are practically identical. The only difference is that Puffin is a boy who just turned 11.

Would like to post a picture of him but I can never seem to get him to turn my way or I don't have my phone close by.

That actually happened today when he was outside on my picnic table staring at some squirrels. I've never seen him look so majestic but alas, no cell phone. (His regal name is "Sir Puffin the Puffinator".)

I can never get enough of admiring the Maine Coon kitties but now, Kimber holds a special place in my heart! Thank you for sharing!




Gunny The Great

by: Joni in Davidson, NC USA

gorgeous brown tabby maine coon kitten with striking markings.

Gunny was almost 4 months old when he joined our family with 2 Collies and his cat brother.

He walked into each room like he'd been there his entire life. No fear, no hesitation.

He loves car rides and adventures. He recently turned a year old and I can't wait to see him continue to grow and flourish.

I only wish I’d gotten a “COONIE” sooner. He’s the joy of my life… heart and soul.

cute domestic medium haired mix breed kitty.Our other girl coonie and forest cat mix
female brown tabby maine coon cat laying on a kitchen floor.

She's a 17 pound female almost 2 yrs.

Old beautiful and crazy she is very entertaining and plays constantly day and night if not with us she plays on her own happy as a lark although she likes to steal things and when caught in the act will lay on item and act all innocent.

She has brought joy to our Life after losing another life long friend from old age.

Binx was a rescue from a cattery that was shut down she was.

Still a kitten when we got her she weighed 7 pounds day one now she's twice the size beautiful and around 16 pounds she's a big girl.

Still has trust issues but when she loves she really loves she's the strangest cat and entertains constantly she guards the house with ferocity if she hears any unusual noise outside she runs to the area growling like a wildcat. Maine Coons are the best.

We adopted Binx from cat depot after 60 cats were rescued from a breeder in Virgina.

She's a 17 pound one year old. Have had her since she was under a year. She's spicy and sweet. She plays all day when not power napping.

She's extremely hyperactive though, always into everything, oh and her huge fluffy tail curls up and over her back like a Pomeranian.

I heard this could be a genetic defect but it's cute as hell, the more exited the bigger the curl.

She has definitely brought life into our home after losing a lifelong feline friend a while back.

Coonie, all the way!

On a cold day in January, I was Googling Maine Coon kittens after visiting a cat show in Nashville.

Fate has always paired me with Siamese, except one beautiful long-haired tabby girl who chose me 35 years ago. But ahhh, the Maine Coons at this show...

Maine Coon Oasis had a doll baby who looked just like my tabby Allie - and her name was Ellie!

Two weeks later, we drove six hours from Nashville to South Carolina to pick up Ellie. My husband could not talk me out of it. Ellie is my soul mate. You know how you just feel it in your 🧡? One look and I knew.

We weren't even looking for a new fur baby. I was just looking at Maine Coons for the fun of it. And then SHE happened.

Ellie just turned 1 year old. She is brown and black with a small white locket and the prettiest white eye liner you've ever laid eyes upon.

Ellie is living her best life~chasing ice cubes around the kitchen and stealing seats (and toys) from our grandchildren.

She plays mouse games on her tablet with her big fur brother Aspen, and even lets the little humans play too! Ellie enjoys sleeping on her window perch or in her fuzzy beds.

But the best naps are on Mommy's lap. Mommy and Daddy love her to pieces!

Schooner is a 9.5 year old 28# Maine Coon “dog”.

Early on Schooner was an only cat brought up by my 2 dogs and she think she is one! She can sit, fetch, sit up pretty, she greets all guests at the door, follows around on cleaning day even when the vacuum runs.

She seems to give her Maine Coon brother and sister a disgusted look when they are scaredy-cats, lol. The only thing she doesn’t do is bark.




Miss Telulah

by: Gloria in Kent UK

Telulah is cuteness overload. Every visitor has come to fuss her and she runs from sleeping upstairs to make sure she gets what she wants.

She has huge fluffy paws and will bring a wayward hand back to her head to be petted. She often lays flat out tummy up and loves a tummy tickle too.

Water is of great interest to her and she loves a running tap to sit under and will wash herself and drink for ages if allowed.

I have her sibling, a boy who is very long bodied with a great big furry tail. They are great friends and will touch noses and wash each other although mainly Bertie washes Telulah.

Telulah can take anything from Bertie whether it be a toy or food. Telulah has very thick fur with a lot of orange in it while Bertie is Tuxedo.

Telulah is very vocal and sometimes gives great long answers to my attempts to communicate with her.

Telulah is now 7 years and has gone over the fence for the first time. She has a look around then takes ages to work out how to get back! She is a Beatrix Potter character for sure.

Telulah will ask for biscuits even when she has a dish full and I have to pretend to put more in the dish before she will eat it.

I am trying to get her to crunch as she has always swallowed her food and treats. Telulah is a pretty girl and she knows it to.

I brush her which she likes but last time I clipped her claws she put her jaw over my arm. She didn’t clamp down but made sounds to say she wasn’t happy.

I feel very lucky to have two beautiful creatures in my home.

Her little paw shot up and she looked lovingly into my eyes and that was it, she was mine!

Sophie does "Tricks for treats" where she'll shake - with both paws, stand up on her hind legs and sit on command in return for a cat treat!

She has brought so much love and laughter to my home and purrs nonstop!

I can’t imagine life without my Sophie as she is truly a treasure!

Our Courtyard Maine Coon

Maya was given to a tenant here - eleven units around a garden courtyard - and she has kept the rodents minimal for 11 years!

We all share her, and since the property went up for sale, I am moving her with me.

She comes to my window every morning and sleeps on my bed. I have been learning which foods she likes.

She loves potato chips and avocado, salads, lox bagels and cream cheese, rice milk, certain cat foods - she is SO healthy from hunting - and she plays with the young raccoons who share her water dishes on our doorsteps.

She has a frisky hopping run with tail straight up when she is playing. She’s extremely confident.

But she’s traumatized by shouting because her first year was in a house across street with a young couple who fought and did drugs.

I’m very careful to always tell her happy, loving, positive things. She left in a huff once when I was complaining about someone, she understands conversation.

She loves seeing the pictures when I read to her.

Hi everyone, I'm Lawrence from Colorado.. Meatball was an abandoned cat in Colorado Springs.

Meatball approached my daughter's home in January this year crying at her doorstep, scared and skittish...

My daughter put out a 'Meatball' on dish outside and she ate it, and then came inside the house and became my daughter's best friend...

Fast forward to May, my daughter moved out and needed a home for Meatball I accepted...she's thriving, putting on weight and happy...

She talks all time (meows) and somehow, I know what she wants... pets, snacks, look out the windows, go outside, play time and just good ol'e holding...

Thank you everyone.
Lawrence Martinez




Meet Mr. Finn Meowller

by: Dorothy Mueller in California

tiny tuxedo kitten

Finn joined our family a few weeks ago. Fergus, our 22 pound Maine Coon/Siamese mix, needed a friend to play with. It took a very long time to find his new mate.

Finn has a tiny body but a huge personality! He is super smart, struts around with his head up high, and loves to play (and annoy!) with Fergus.

Finn is polydactyl with 7 toes and actually has mitten paws in both front and back paws.




Edgar Allen Poe, call name POE

Poe came to live with us in Mid Coast ME on April 20, 2022.

Poe arrived in the household as only cat but brother to two big dogs, Vosje, a Chow and Maestro, a Keeshond.

Poe kept to himself for a week or so ( he had his own room!) but slowly got to know his sibs. All was well. One year ago we adopted a new puppy, Luna Lu, another Keeshond and life got crazy quickly..but in a good way.

Poe, at 18# outweighed Luna but the two soon became wrestling buddies. Luna now outweighs him but the matches still go on!

They love to chase and play together.

Flying Maine Coon

by: Alan Webb in Leicester UK

Leesha, our Maine Coon, is 3 Years old. She is a loving, gentle cat but likes to be petted on her own terms.

Leesha runs away from strangers that come into the house, but when she gets to know you she will allow you to pet her. But strictly on her own terms - beware if she is not ready for you!!

Leesha is playful and likes to explore the garden with the odd sortie onto the neighbours roof hence the title as she likes to leap from roof to garage.

Found MAXIM in a county shelter about 80 miles from home. He was about three years old when he became part of the family.

The folks at the shelter were astounded that we would drive so far, just to adopt a cat.

It was LOVE at first sight. He is the most loving boy. There was another Coonie in the neighborhood. He lived across the street. He was semi abandoned.

We asked the neighbor if they were willing to give up their cat so Max can have a brother. All was agreed and EKO moved in with MAX. He was a Golden colored with long hair. They shared our house for about three years until EKO passed.

Max has a new brother, Boris, who came from a shelter. Boris may not be a Coonie but is loved and cared for just like brother Max.

While I'm not sure our Flarye is 100% coonie,he seems to have a few definite characteristics. He is a handsome young man and has the greatest personality!

He's a character. We brush him daily & trim nails twice a month.

He's not a fan of all the grooming but will do anything for a fancy feast lickable treat!

Oliver lives with a female Siamese and she runs the show even though she's way smaller than Oliver.

Cookie is 12 or 13 yrs old. We adopted her and she’s the sweetest thing ever.

We had another cat it was a male up and passed on and we decided to get another one. She’s not a full blooded cookie she has some tabby in her.

Spoiled rotten. We have 3 other cats but they are tabby’s and all female. Cookie is the queen.
