Hello, Maine Coon families! We are so tickled to share our beautiful Black Smoke baby girl with everyone!

Thank you all so much!
by: Jersey
My best friend is Willow, a 15-month-old Maine Coon with a possible Russian Blue mix.

She’s silver with green eyes, follows me everywhere, and loves classical music, food, playtime, mischief, and snuggling at night. She's my baby - and she knows it! I’ll share a photo soon.

Willow is my first Maine Coon, and we're learning together every day. I'm 76 and live alone, and I absolutely adore her.

What a Cutie!
by: Kasey's Person
What a cutie! That face reminds me of my 9-year-old Coonie, Kasey - sweet as can be but always up to something.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve found him snoozing in a kitchen cabinet after sneaking in and letting the door close behind him. These cats sure keep us on our toes!

Adorable
by: C. Dove
She’s adorable! I know you’ll enjoy her for many years. Maine Coons are the best. I adopted a male named Sergiy last year, and he’s been a wonderful addition to our family. You're lucky to have such a beautiful girl—congratulations!

Centauri Blu

by: Denny Stearns in Jenison, MI

Centauri is not a pet he's a little people. 5 1/2 yrs old and quite a boy. He shakes hand, comes when you whistle for him (if he wants to), hi 5s, low 5s, rolls over and always ready for a head bump.

Loves tummy rubs. Never having a Coonie before we could never believe they are like they are what awesome intelligence and sweetness.

---

Jojo

by: Lisa C. in Stockton,Ca USA

We bought Jojo from a breeder 12 years ago. He is a cameo. Jojo is such a smart cat he still continues to amaze us.

He is aware when we are getting ready for bed and usually beats us to the bedroom claiming his place on the bed. We love our coonie!

---

Maximus Rex

by: Susan in South Carolina

We got our boy, Maximus Rex, as a 6 month old kitten.

He’s very dog-like and follows us, especially my husband, from room to room, and absolutely hates being excluded from anything we’re doing!

He’s now one year old, and loves to play with and chase our other cat Jagger all over the house.

Jagger is a good-size cat himself, weighing about 14 pounds, but you can see how Max already dwarfs him, despite not being fully grown yet!

Boris & Natasha

by: Ellsworth in Cape Breton NS Canada

Beautiful Coon Twins! Boris was born Aug 14,2022 just before midnight and Natasha followed just after midnight on Aug 15,2022.

They come from a long line of Russian Pedigree Pageant cats! Hence the name.

Their first home was with their breeders Paul and Sherri Robicheau of Mountain Rose Maine Coon Cattery in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia Canada. I brought the babies to their new home on Dec 9, 2022

Even though they appear as identical, they both have their own little personalities. Boris is always up to Badness 😈, he just can’t stay out of trouble, while Natasha is sweet and cuddly and enjoys the Hunt 😇

They are very special and very spoiled😜
Their Mama Loves them BUNCHES❤️❤️💕💕

PS Boris and Natasha also love their much older brother from another species Finn. They torment him and then snuggle with him. It is beautiful to see. This is a very special breed of cat.

Mutzzie is Growing Up

by: Camille Re in Newton NJ

A while back I sent in a photo of my cat Mutzzie, His cattery name is Bena Vida Multi Mozzarella.

He was a kitten and I was planning on getting him very social and make him a therapy cat. Well, Mutzzie is 8 months now and doing great.

We plan on having him tested in a few months as a therapy cat and he also is my Mascot for my business. I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist and he attends all my Behavior Seminars for Adults and Children.

He loves to shake hands, give hi-fives and ring bells to entertain people.

I also just put him in a CFA Show under the Premiership and although he did not win because he was up against 3 other very mature Maine Coons and he just turned 8 months, he did manage to take a 2nd place in one show but more importantly he was not shy, entertained the crowds and judges.

He loves all the people and he actually had a great time. His personality came out beaming. He also is doing some ads for Feline Caviar cat food.

He is such a ham! I just wanted to say that I expect a lot more fun and exciting time with him.

Getting a Maine Coon has checked off all the boxes for what I needed. For more on Mutzzie and his classes check out www.helpmeowtCFB.com

Odin and Loki at 7 months old

Our boys are half brothers born about ten days apart. Odin is the younger brother but the bigger of the two, he’s pushing 14 pounds at 7 months old, Loki is about 13 pounds.

Odin is a blue smoke tabby, and Loki is a blue smoke with a solid pattern. Loki is affectionate but stays planted several paces away from wherever we are, a bit more aloof and the trouble maker of the two lol.

Odin always sits a bit closer and will sit right next to us, and loves being 'groomed.'

Both are good brothers with each other and have really entertaining wrestling matches around the house.

Both big gentle giants, that play well with our 4 year old daughter, though Odin sometimes gets a little too rough for her liking, but she tells him ‘No Odin’ and he dials it back accordingly very obediently lol

They were King Zo and Loki but my son whose a mythology buff said that in Norse mythology Odin was the bigger stronger BROTHER of Loki, not his father, so with his big silver ear tufts and size we decided as a family to call him Odin lol

King Zo & Loki

King Zo and Loki are half brothers with the same father, both liters were born 10 days apart so they knew each other from the beginning.

We imported them from the same breeder in the Ukraine. They are about 6.5 months old. King Zo is a blue smoke tabby and weighs about 12 pounds already, Loki is a true blue smoke and weighs about 11 pounds.

I think both are going to be very big boys lol. They are a wonderful addition to our family which includes two small children who pic up the cats, wrestle them and romp around with the kittens and the kittens just sort tolerate it all, and even seem to enjoy it (most of the time haha).

Wonderful additions to our family!

Comments:

Adult Weight
Maybe it’s not the best indicator, but I’m curious, if there is anyone here whose cats are now adults and weighed in the 11 to 12 pound range when 6 months old how big the cats ultimately became?

Food and tufts
After a lot of research we moved our kittens to an exclusively raw meat diet of ground up muscle tissue, with some organ meat, and a bit of ground up bone.

Supplemented with probiotics and a bit of cat vitamins. Our boys are growing sooo fast, and at 6 months old are bigger than most non-Maine Coon cats.

They have these super cool looking ear tufts, King Zo has those huge white rusts that are like 4 inches long growing from inside his ears, and about 3/4 inch tufts at the tips of his ears.

Loki has shorter tufts growing from inside his ears, but the tufts growing at the tips of his ears are over an inch longs, and give him a devilish look, while King Zo looks like a wizened old wizard or something with those long silver inner ear tufts... we almost named him Gandolph but my 4 year old chose King Zo lol

Sampson

by: Catherine

The only problem is he has found out where there are evergreen shrubs there are birds so we have disagreements as I do not want him going into neighbors yards.

He gets mad at he when I stop him and marches in front of me hissing and growling. I think he is cussing me. He has started sleeping at my head which I love and he lets me pet him much more now.

Magnus is a beautiful orange Maine Coon. I am partial to this color as I have Maine Coon mix of the same color. I bet he rules the household and is very smart.

Phoenix the Great

by: Laura West in Gassville, Arkansas

Phoenix is six months old from Gassville Arkansas. He is very affectionate and likes to talk a lot.

Comments:

Loveable giants
by: Glenis
Maine coons stay loveable giants and stay very affectionate.

He's going to be be a big one
by: Melissa
He's absolutely gorgeous. Love his paws so profound. If he's just 6 months old and he's that big...

I have a good feeling he's going to be one of those rare and extra special Maine Coons that get into the top largest category. I'm not thinking of the correct wording but he's definitely going to be a big one.

I'm pretty sure they stop really growing after 2 but I could be short. He's got a lot of time for growing bigger. He's just amazing.

Sir Zulu is pretty big at 17 pounds last I checked and your Coon will outgrow Zulu by the time he's 2 years years old.

Congratulations! Tufted, tufted, ears just perfect! Enjoy the time with him. 😁

Diamond Girl is My 9 Year Old Beauty

by: Debbie in Northport, NY

Diamond is my 1st ever Maine Coon cat and she is magnificent!

I got her from a breeder on Long Island, so officially she is "Merlin’s Blue Blaze Diamond Girl"!

I have had (and still have Domestic short hair cats) for the last 40 years and several large dogs. I have been rescuing feral/stray cats at work and at home for 25 years.

Diamond is everything they say about Maine Coons, she’s family oriented and always wants to be near you if not on you.

She is vocal when she wants or needs something, but Jett my black, domestic short hair is very chatty also.

I just retired and I worked from home for the last several years, Diamond always took advantage of a captive audience (1 picture shows her perch above my head while I worked).

Diamond is a delight as well as a large cat (she is 27” from nose to her butt, then her tail is another 16” long).

She came into a home with an 87 lb Shepherd mix, who had already grew up with my 2 domestic short hairs and my chocolate Lab, Yogi.

Diamond

Lacey Our Beautiful Baby

by: Gloria in Nova Scotia, Canada

Lacey is very affectionate and quiet. Loves being hugged and kissed. Amazingly, she understands a lot of what we say to her.

At 11 years she has slowed down some but is very healthy at 14 lbs. Our first Maine coon and we fell in love with her the first time we saw her.

Will take as much attention as she can get. Loves her grass box on our deck.

Sergiy Turns One

by: Charles Dove in San Antonio, Texas

My baby Maine Coon turned 1 in July. He is truly a wonderful family member. 

He loves to play, he loves to cuddle and sleep in bed with us. His purr is loud. He loves watching the birds and squirrels from our living room window.

Comments:

Beautiful

He is a beautiful boy. I hope he gives you many more years of happiness. I just love the Maine Coon.

Has he always cuddled? Our dude (Max) is 6 months old. He likes to be "near" but not touching.

Sisters & Cousins

by: Becky Burciaga in Fair Oaks, CA

Timmie (age 10) and Giselle (age 5) are not only sisters but also share the same Grandmother.

Giselle is three times removed, her grandfather and Timmie are first cousins.

When the girls are not viewing from their heavy-duty cat tree (due to her very svelte 22lbs, Timmie has tested the sturdiness of many cat trees over the years) the myriad of birds and squirrels outside the window, they love to snuggle together for their cat naps.

Both Timmie and Giselle love playing with their mama’s grandsons when they come to visit.

They've both been known to steal space on pillows and sleeping bags during sleepovers with the grand kiddos, and they both really love to play fetch and chase the laser light.

What the sisters love the most is to go for walks on their harnesses and leashes - or just sit on the front porch with their mama and keep watch over the little dogs that live close by.

Timmie easily towers over most of them and isn't the least bit phased when one starts barking at her.

She is sweet and gentle and super smart. Everybody loves her and Loverboy. Comments: Queen Delphine She is so special and beautiful! Love her!

Tater

by: Linda in Wichita Falls, TX, USA

Tater was born Nov 8, 2018 in Greenville, TX. We got him when he was 8 weeks old. He has been a joy.

I bought him for my husband for a late Christmas present. He came to us with Conjunctivitis.

He started sleeping with me on the spare pillow. He LOVES to lick my neck and gives me kisses on my eyes and nose and lips.

He was neutered at 4 months old. And he gets a fair amount of matted fur on his tummy and on his backside so I have to give him a lion cut. He is now 5 years old.

Hope

Hope is our beautiful 14 year old Maine Coon. She was our granddaughters 3rd birthday present.

They have been close buddies ever since. Hope has been known to call her name looking for her, "Eye-ya".

As you all probably know Coon cats are very cool, I mean really unflappable. Something will startle the other cats, Hope will look up and yawn.

I cannot say how much we love this cat and the breed. I am sure our house would not be complete without a big old Maine Coon looking out for us.

Tintin

by: Nelson in Nashville

Just turned one. Tintin is still growing. As a kitten, he always stayed near us, slept in our bed, etc.

But nearing adulthood, he's become more independent, especially during "hunting" hours. Is this normal?

I’ve read that some Maine Coons mellow out with age, but I miss the snuggly kitten version of him.

Comments:

Tintin
by: Bastet

Totally normal. Cats are hunters, especially at night. My girl makes this funny howling noise when she "catches" toys and wants me to praise her. After that, she calms down and cuddles next to me.

This is my first Maine Coon too 
by: Community Member
Our Zulu watches us like a hawk and responds to changes in our routine. When I’m off, he’s off. Coonies are super tuned into their humans. Don't be surprised if they act different depending on what’s going on with you!

Like Twins
by: Smokey Joe's Mama
Tintin could be my Smokey Joe’s twin - same markings and that belly-up pose like, "Come give me some rubs!" Smokey used to get feisty if we stopped rubbing, but now he just gently holds our hands like, "Don’t stop!"

Affection comes on Smokey's terms. After his treat, he'll rub my hand or 'wash' it, and he wraps himself around my leg when I’m reading. His purr machine kicks in only at night when he wants to be close.

He’s silent most of the time, except for a "YOW!" if the vacuum's on. His meows are more like squeaks.

Tintin
by: Community Member
I have a 9 year old Coonie. When he was younger, he would get up on the bed for cuddles, then stop for a while.

He started doing this when he was about 1-2 years old. Now, he's getting pretty set in his ways, up on the bed for a nightly hour or 1 1/2 hour cuddle session. He's never too far, he just likes a little extra space now.

Affectionate Maine Coon
by: Charles Dove
My Coonie Sergiy turned one in July. He’s still affectionate  -  sleeps with me, purrs beside me, sometimes nuzzles my neck.

But he doesn’t jump on the sofa for cuddles like when he was a kitten. I miss that. Still, he's sweet and wants to be near me. I’ve learned to appreciate the quieter affection.

Transition from Kitty To(?)
by: "PJ"
Maya just turned one too. She used to zoom all over the house and play fetch, but lately she’s more chill and independent.

She still chirps and meows when she wants to be groomed and stays close to us. Seems like a natural shift.

Riley, still affectionate and cuddly at 10 1/2!
by: Andrea
Our Coonie, Riley, is 10 1/2. We got him as a Rescue when he was 1 1/2. He has continued to be very loving and affectionate, sometimes, to the point of being "needy".

Although, he is not as interested playing with all his toys, he still loves to be held and groomed. He's truly a bed and lap Coonie.

Affection
by: Community Member
Every Maine Coon I’ve had got more affectionate with age. My current guy, Furby, is 12. He always wants to be nearby. If I nap, he’s behind my head. If I’m in the recliner, he jumps in my lap.

The younger years were more independent, but as they age, they seem to want to be close again.

Cyrus 8 months old

by: Pam Cook in Tennessee

He kisses me with his nose! I got him from the same cattery that I got Sadie from in Alabama. She is 4 years old.

After I had picked out Cyrus I learned that Sadie and Cyrus had the same Sire but a different mother.

Beautiful boy

He is majestic! May he give you many many years of joy!

Beautiful, just beautiful
by: Trish
Beautify ebony statue. So jealous.

Cyrus: 1 Year Old

Cyrus is a sweetheart! He has been the most active Maine Coon I have ever had! He is fast too!

In one second he can run the length of the house and jump to the top of our cat tree that is made for Coonies.

We had to put a big box on top of our refrigerator because he was jumping on our shelves and then up to our window ledges. That is almost 2 stories high!!

The breeder gave us toys when we first got him and there was one toy felt mouse that became his little lovie.

If I tell him to go get his baby mouse he knows where it is and starts playing with it. He love chicken, roasted the best! He has been so entertaining and he is also very loving!

Comments:

He is absolutely adorable. These cats are so smart and entertaining. My male Maine Coon is just over one year old. And we love him so much. He is spoiled, but you can't help but spoil them.

Barnaby and Jack

by: Karla in Washington USA

My two boys are from different litters and were born three days apart. At the cattery, they were friendly, self-confident, and curious.

Jack said "Meow" the second he saw me, and that was that. Then Barnaby climbed into my lap and the deal was done.

Barnaby is a silver tabby and Jack (aka Gigantor at the Window) is a smoke. Barnaby (aka the little guy) is about 18 pounds; Jack was 21+ last time he was weighed, and I think he's bigger now.

And when they stretch out, they can reach from side to side of a full-size bed. They are lively, healthy, self-confident and very social. Mostly.

Ripley

by: Chryss in Colorado Springs

Ripley was a gift from a friend and oh, what a sweetie! She loves being petted starting at her forehead and ending past her bushy tail.

She chose me as her human pet and sleeps in my bedroom. She pulls her water dish across the floor until it's in the right place to lap up some water; I stepped in it once and was lucky not to fall. Silly girl!

Mr. Mufasa

by: Deborah Gassiot in Kennedale, Texas

Now, he’s 13 years old, so proud, confident, affectionate and absolutely beautiful. I feel blessed to have found such a wonderful companion.

Please remember to check with your local animal shelters because there are so many other cats waiting for their forever home.

Rescues do have them!!
by: MaineCoonMomx2
Yes, to everyone looking for a Maine Coon, but hesitating because of the price tag.

They are worth every penny, but let’s face it not everyone can afford it. Please do as this wonderful person has and look at the Rescue websites!!

I am totally amazed that anyone would allow a precious MC to end up there!! It happens! I adopted my 2 beautiful boys from a Rescue also.

They were only a few weeks old, but a litter was brought in??! I didn’t even know what a Maine Coon was?!? DNA positive 100%! I was blessed that day, so I have stopped questioning it, and started learning!

What a joyous adventure! Just last week a store clerk told me about her beautiful stray she took in. Actually he just followed her in! I looked at her pictures as she couldn’t figure out what kind of cat he was?

Really big and acting more like a dog? Maine Coon!! She is learning about that now, and saving up for food, Lol!

Asking how big her kitten was going to get, mine are about 26 pounds.

Rhumba

by: Patti in Pennsylvania

Rhumba was found at Pet Smart’s kitty area. We immediately went to the SPCA to put in an application.

He was 4 mos at the time but looked alot older because of his size, minus the teeth. He's now 10 years old and lives his big sister Creola 14 yr (long haired calico).

He does not care for baths at all. He snuggles and has the sweetest chirp. Rhumba follows me around the house all the time. So glad we found him ❤️

Princess Ariel

Ariel came to us from a friend who couldn’t keep her. They got her to be a companion to their older cat and it didn’t work.

She is the sweetest cat I have ever had. She loves to cuddle and still plays like a kitten. She has become very vocal in the last couple of years. We love her very much.

Kitty

Kitty is a 13 year old female Coonie. She is now an indoor cat after having been walked on a leash outside until 2 years ago when we had a fox visit in the back yard while she had gotten off leash chasing birds.

I picked her up and ran in the house. She has never wanted to go out again. She loves window gazing and sleeping in her favorite places.

She obeys commands like a dog and always wants to be helping out. She loves listening to Hawaiian Vacation via Alexa - all she has to do is hear me say Alexa play Hawaiian vacation from Sirius XM and she jumps up into her box filled with paper bags.

She then wants me sit there too and let her while she drifts off for a catnap!
