I was owned by a Maine Coon cat once, and he lived for 24 years! He was my best buddy for all that time. I had him cremated when he died and now his ashes are in an urn in my office so I see him nearly every day; gone but dearly missed, the best cat to ever bless my life thus far. Well worth having one in yours too.

I call all my cats 'fatty butt' & things like that.

My 15 year old daughter was living with me while her mother, my ex wife went through a bone marrow transplant for cancer. My daughter and I were setting on the front porch one evening when we heard a frantic meowing coming from across the street. Thinking it was a cat in a tree we investigated and found a little Maine Coon kitten alone in the neighbors landscaping. We adopted the kitten and named him Binx and he didn't leave the crook of my daughters arm for what seemed to be a year, or more. The Maine Coon cat was just what my daughter needed to help her to deal with her moms cancer treatment and fight for life. Her mother Is cancer free and Binx the cat became a cherished pet who lived for 17 years.

Omfg my Maine coon name is binx. Well bynx! He is six months almost seven, the best mouser I ever had. He's caught five in two days (never dreamed that many resides here till he came) and he's my best baby. He owns my heart he's my dream cat I paid five hundred and I'd pay it again he's gorgeous, and I wake up to him curled in my arm or on my head and he loves all seven,yes seven of our dog. Three are pups, they are growing together it's the cutest but he loves my ferrets and guinea pig the most. He checked without the guinea pig everyday for several hours and sticks his arms in his cage and pokes him on the butt and we have a pet rat and he does not pay her any mind at all but if you're a stray mouse in the house you might as well count the minutes till you're in his mouth. I absolutely love him more than anything in this world

😂😂. I would love to have a MC! They are seriously special ❤️❤️

Our coonie is moody. So he’s not that calm as we thought this breed would be. He hits with his claws out when he is in a situation he does not prefer; when people he seldom meet want’s to pet him, and sometimes when we who are in his family touch him gently. He is very stubborn. Other times he is very cozy, head towards head is preferable, kissing his forhead and cheeks. But I recognize the fact that he follows us around the house, loves to be in the middle of things! He is very generous with other cats in the neighbourhood. He has a little sister (different breed), and he always offer the food for her first. He is a challenge, but we love him so much!

We “cat -sat” a male Ragdoll for 9 months - He really grew on us, and I dare say he “owned us.” When it was time for him to leave, we were HEART BROKEN! He always did cute stuff, like climb into the dishwasher, jumping out of a pantry and walking on top of the shower stall!! We will for sure, get our own Ragdoll kitty one day, as they are excellent companions. An experienced cat-owner friend of mine told me something wise: “When you are owned by a cat, you make an appointment with grief.” - So take their example, live in the PRESENT with them, and love them and care for them all that you can! Pet owners make people more human.

We've had many cats come and go in our home but out of all of them, our Maine Coon Jinxy was the best we ever had. She was so clever, loved going swimming with us, she played fetch, she never lost her cool even after the kids would rough her up. At her prime she weighed about 22lbs. Im a grown dude and I cried like a little kid when she died in my arms.

Years ago, my father found a starving Maine Coon kitten while he was working and took it home. That kitten became my Dad's best friend for the next 12 years. I have never seen such loyalty in a cat. NO ONE got near my father without that cat's permission,.

I just lost my 18 year old Maine Coon female this last summer due to cancer. 😢 She fit your descriptions very well except in her latter years she was more sedate than earlier. I had the pleasure of her company for 15 of her 18 years and she was foster mother to an 8 week old kitten at age 6 years old who she lived with fir the rest if her life and was very patient with even when my younger cat, a domestic shorthair, would act out! Sure do miss her! 😢

My Main Coon was the greatest cat. He was my partner and closest companion for 24 years. He been gone 16 years and I still miss him. His love and loyalty was unsurpassed. I've had an all black Bombay now since he's been gone and he is also wonderful. Cats are great companions.

I rescued a 5 week old in the overgrown bushes across the street meowing loudly. Don't know if mom was transporting them and she was the last, or wandered away from the litter, or was dumped. She's feral, except with me. The most vocal cat I've ever had, even more than my Siamese, so I named her Aria. She loves carrying pieces of paper around. LOL. She just walked by with a business card in her mouth as I write. :) I've had to move my "money stash." She found it one night and in the morning I found dollar bills all over the house. I love her to pieces.

I miss my Maine Coon. Got him at 8 weeks, from a shelter, and he was absolutely very intelligent. If his litter box was too dirty for his taste, he would actually lead me to it. He came running when I got home. He only lived to about 9 years old, but it was time well spent. I forgot to mention his intelligence showed through in other ways; he would never eat "people food", because I once tried to hide medicine in chicken. If you put anything but cat food in his bowl, it would go untouched. Also, you could never let him see you get out the cat carrier. If he saw it, he was gone, because he knew that meant a trip to the vet. He also never got on the counters or the table, because he hated being scolded.

He is so sweet and just honestly exactly what I needed when I was grieving my other cat. I lost one friend and gained another. If I leave the bathroom door open a crack, he'll run in and sit on the edge of the bathtub like he really wants to spend all his time with me as his companion. It really healed my heart. A couple of my neighbors have seen him through the window and told us that he's a beautiful cat, and it makes me a very proud cat mom

I had one. He was massive, but cuddly. Very smart, knew his name. Not a great apartment cat, but he HAD to go out at night. He would meow by the door until I let him out, and always came back with a treat. Feral-ish. Great cat.

Yes, they MUST go hunting at night. And that is smart, because they will hunt rodents at night, as the birds aren't active til morning. My NFC will even take out gophers; master hunters. My NFC also comes running home to a whistle; all the dog-"owners" are jealous of that.

As a maine coon owner, literally everything you said was accurate. And I sub'd because you said you believe all cats should be indoor cats. I just saw a little fellow yesterday ran over by a car... Obviously a family owned orange cat. Broke my heart thinking about my boy!

No mentioning that they are cheeky cats, very intelligent, very creative and EXTREMELY talkative 🤣

I raised mine from birth and 3 years later he still literally follows me everywhere I go in the house. He loves people so much he gets so happy when people come over and wants to play with everyone. I am moving so I’m going to buy him a Maine coon kitten friend so when we are not home he won’t be lonely.

Mine is 20 lbs at a healthy weight and he's a gentle giant. There is literally so much in this video that explains his personality lol. Ever since he was a kitten he'd follow me around the house and I learned long ago, he's 11 now, never to shut doors on him. I won't ever hear the end of it if I don't let him in to sleep at the foot of my bed at night. He's also the sweetest cat to have during hard times, he can tell if life is beating me up or if I'm feeling down.

Mine was a female we rescued from an aging couple who couldn’t take care of her anymore. My nickname for her was PoF: Paragon of Felinity. Sweetest most loving being I have had the honor of knowing. Very intelligent and very polite. Loved grass from the yard in spring & summer.

My Maine loves to chance balls of paper that I wad up... It's hilarious. My sister calls him my familiar because he is so in tuned to me

As a longtime Maine Coon owner, a lot of this is accurate! But always remember that each cat is an individual, so not all are good with other pets and kids. My dad’s MC absolutely hates other cats and dogs. My old MC was friendly to other cats, she lived to be 14 and she was very in tune with my feelings and cared for me. I miss her so much. But I have another MC now and she’s super loving, energetic, and a goofball. I got her from a breeder that tests for the hereditary diseases, so she cost a good bit but it’s all worth it to have a healthy kitty. Something I notice is that when you get your kitten, it’s better to wait until they’re 12-14wks old so they spend more time with their mom and siblings to learn manners.

Every reputable breeder I contacted before getting mine wouldn’t sell their Maine Coon kittens before 12 weeks. As mentioned in the video, they are large cats which develop slowly and should stay with the family unit longer than most kittens (so don’t expect a little, tiny kitten.) Also, it took my guy over a year to develop his full adult coat, if you want one that looks totally “Maine Cooney” from day 1 get an older, mature cat.

And mine have all looked nearly identical to purebred Maine Coons. I highly recommend! PS. Maine Coon Mixes are pretty common in Wisconsin. If you want one, you can probably find an adult or kitten at the shelters or rescue pet stores there. I got all of mine that way. 😊

The dude did not care about anything - we took him on walks with no leash, gave him baths, and so on, and he was chilled out with everything. Great cat, he was so nice and very, very fluffy. My remaining current cat, three later, is also part Maine Coon (and polydactle calico), and is so very playful and fluffy as well. Love her, and I do miss my first. I was too young to even comprehend how big he was, but I to this day interpret every cat as smaller than average due to starting out with him.

I love my maincoon Meiko!! He found me as a kitten. He's my puppy bears! He's so loving, affectionate, and silly. Truly blessed to have him.❤

Ours is about 2yrs old and is 13 lbs. he really is a sweetheart. We love him!

When I buy my home I’m getting one

adopt don’t shop! 💖 good luck

I’m happy they brought up adopting as an option. We all have our reasons for wanting a specific type of cat or dog but there’s so many cats in need of a home. I do want a Maine coon, they are so beautiful but I don’t see myself getting one unless it was through adopting. I have two cats already and I’m happy with the number, so until one passes or I move to a larger place I don’t plan on adding any new pets to the fam.

We got Chance when he was a kitten. He was so scraggly looking and sick. He actually died at the vet's office. The vet revived him and that's how he got his name. They called him Crash at the shelter where he was adopted. Lol. He turned into the most beautiful and sweetest cat ever. He would headbutt me all the time. He would chase shadows and he didn't understand catnip or toys at all. Sadly he passed away in 2013. He was 10 years old. I miss him.

There is little difference between a Maine Coon and a Norwegian Forest Cat, which may average 10% smaller. Still, the bone structure on the two males I've had [you do not "own" them] is at least equal to the Coon. The Paws are huge, and the fur as thick as any Maine Coon. An NFC does have a more triangular face, a heavier "mane", but maybe a shorter tail. Syd, my first NFC had a 12" tail, but Smokey has only 10" of tail. They are not especially playful, but exquisite hunters. Wonderful animals!

We adopted our newest fur child from a local feral cat/kitten rescue. We knew his mother is Russian Blue, but not until he started growing did we realize his Maine Coon heritage. He's 11 months old and bigger than every other cat around us. He's an adorable, loving, playful personality.

I had one that was half Maine Coon and one full Maine Coon. Talk about loving, laid back and always your shadow. Also mothered two new kittens we brought home.The perfect cat.

Got a one year old yesterday. He is the most cuddly and voc I’ve ever had. He’s so funny! They are scaredy cats too. Love my Duke!

Main Coon: after reading MANY of the reviews, There is one thing that should be brought up. We just added a Main Coon to our family. And the reviews are quite accurate and true. My wife and I had no children instead, a Burmese with super thick fur and WAY to smart for her own good, A loving American calico short hair, and now the Main Coon. There is no "mute" button for a Main Coon. While our other cat had seldom things to say except for: "get up NOW", "FOOOD" and the occasional THANKS. Our Main Coon Selene has plenty to talk about "constantly" all the time. This might be a one off. If you are use to quiet at certain hours day 2 o-clock nap time for Humans this must be prearranged with a Main Coon.

Also, Maine Coons do take longer to develop as mentioned in the video. My guy took about 1 1/2 years to get his full, adult coat. Consider adopting an older cat if you want one that has a full adult coat. Reputable dealers won’t sell kittens before 12 -14 weeks so you’ll never get a little, tiny Maine Coon kitten.

I have had the pleasure of owning two! Buddy sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in 2016. It took a long time until i was ready for a new one. In June, I adopted a 3 month old named Miko🥰 he’s 6 months old and already almost the size of my adult cats😅 I love him so much! Maine Coons will always be my favorite breed alongside the Savanna💙

As kittens around 2 weeks old, the one trait that separates the average breed to the Coon is how they have the largest set of paws besides their thick owl like head. But it is still the trait that gives it the name a Coon Cat of having simular tone of coat along with their stripes as a few have a marking across the eyes of a lighter shade of tone.

Five years ago I had kidney surgery, they had to place a drain tube which hung from my back and had a bulb hanging down. My brother and his wife took me in for two weeks while I was recovering. They have four cats one Maine Coon. The three little cats were circling the table while I ate my meal, but I wasn’t paying attention the Maine Coon’s patience had ran out, it didn’t hurt but it sure startle me when he swatted the drain bulb hanging from my back!

I love my Maine Coon, Simba. He's so sweet. But does anyone else have a problem finding a litter box that is big enough? He'll stand in the middle of the box, lift his tail and pee completely outside the box. A large rubbermaid tote is the only box that works.

lived in new hampshire for many years. main coon cats are magnificent. The breed is definitely found more in N.E shelters than elsewhere. Adopt! Gorgeous!

I have a big cat, we think he has Maine Coon in him. His side profile has a dipped muzzle. I adopted him from a rescue. He was 12.5lbs when I got him, now, 5yrs latter he grew to be 22lbs. He’s solid, and not fat.

I bought my maine coon at a shelter. His fur was thin and he was mal nourished. I thought he was a normal long haired cat, but about a month after I brought him home, his maine coon features were obvious. He grew like crazy and fast! Now he's bigger than my jack russel.

Mine only wanted to be in the forrest. His heart was all about rambling. Hard on him when making an indoor cat. He was very loving!!!!!

All the way in Pennsylvania, we drove her in the car with little to no carrier across states to our home She hated it but we found ways to keep her calm. Now she’s grown up and so so close to me, so sweets and quite the hunter. Keeping mice out of our house.

Our big male coon would play "catch" with rabbits and squirrels. He would slap them on the butt a couple times and then break off the chase. You could actually tell it was a game for them. It was a different story with mice though. Seldom a day went by that we didn't find one or two, usually not whole, by the back door.

Our Timmy was smart as a human and loving. ❤️

I had once a Main Coon it was the such beautiful loving affectionate cat and everything i heard on this video is true . His name was Pretty Boy he would follow me everywhere and he loved when i brushed him . At night he would lay on his window seat to wait for me to come home from work and when he saw me driving up he ran to the door to greet me .

There is no better cat than a Maine Coon. Mine is now 14 yo and still plays like a kitten! He’s such a great kitty! Wouldn’t trade him for a million $$....!!! 😻. PS - he’s always got the whole house to run around in.... as well as having his own bedroom complete with a brass bed!

Owned a Maine Coon and Norwegian forest cat mix years back. Now let me tell you, that cat was a beauty. Sporting a black and white coat. A huge cat too, probably the biggest I've ever owned. A very majestic cat with the name of Damien lol

My Mainecoon never stops purring. Ever. It’s so loud and sweet, and when you pet him his purr goes up like 100% louder

mine just pulled up to us and liked our vibe ig. he’s still around today. loves to be outside and a survival mastermind

Maine Coon Cats are gorgeous and they can be very friendly and loving , I had one for 15yrs, he died sure miss him, weigh 17 lbs. I'm hoping to get another one. They make wonderful pets and they do quite well in cold weather, especially snowy weather, never stopped Alex from wanting to go out for a while... when there was snow on the ground. Also they will follow you around....

I read about these today, and I immediately fell in love with these kitties! Thanks for this video, as I started to want one!

My three year old male Maine Coon is 25 lbs. He's very heavy being transported in a carrier. According to this video he has one year of growing. My Maine Coon is a lap cat ever since he was a kitten. He's a sweet baby boy. He's bigger than my Cockapoo.

Loki the Maine Coon: I am grumpy. I don't like being picked up. I insist on 3 cans of Fancy Feast grilled wet food a day. I don't like being brushed with metal. I taught my hooman to brush me with soft brushes and hard rubber Kong brushes. I have plenty of toys and catnip. I sometimes teleport from room to room. I survey my kingdom from my condo. My woman got me from a no-kill shelter for the princely sum of $125. I have my cell phone and sometimes I call 911 on the neighbors. They are questionable. What do you mean we don't live long?

I have a two year old maine coon named Tuxie. She is beautiful, she's loving. I never had a cat that would lick like a dog before. She does. Very affectionate and sweet. I can't speak for all maine coons, I was already a cat person before getting her, but my cat is very very sweet.

I used to have a cat that was a big American Shorthair red tabby. His attitude was liked a Maine Coon. He was a 20 pounds of loving pet. He had a very special bond with me. He liked to be indoor or outdoor cat. He just stayed in the yard to be close to his family. I met him when he was a stray cat. He was afraid of me at 1st. He came out of hiding and cuddled with me. I do missed him. He did liked other family members in the house. I was only one that he trusted.

Ours was an abandoned one eating out of the dumpster and off of good natured neighbors handouts. Snickers adopted us this early spring! One of our neighbors said hed been hanging outside of our door. Hes been adopted by us since. Hes got a great home now.14 months old and larger than most adult cats ive ever seen. 😀👍

My Maine Coon (female) looks like a lion. She’s very fussy and doesn’t like people or our other cat. However, if one of us leaves she cries. If someone is still asleep she will knock on the bedroom door. We love her so much!!

A cat fanatic with the right attitude towards health and safety! That's amazing and unique! Great job!! (the two statements that stood out most to support this, were the suggestion that no cat should ever be left outside without supervision for various reasons (although the most important reason is not mentioned) and the fact that overweight is a cause or facilitator for many health issues and thus that a cat (any cat) needs a lot of physical (indoors) exercise...) Thanks for spreading good knowledge among the public!

I have a Main- Coon now... he is going to turn 5 this year. I owned a beautiful Norwegian for 16 years and I will always agree with the idea that the vikings brought them and caused the Main- coon breed.. they are such sturdy and loyal cats

We adopted our Maine Coon mix at the beginning of 2021. He's not a pure bred, but he has a lot of the Maine Coon attributes. Big poofy tail, ear tufts, very chat, loves water, etc. He is only 10 months old. Can't wait to see how big he gets! He loves our two dogs so much. He will seek them out and then rub his head against their chests. Our 10 month old female dog is very protective of him with our calico cat who sometimes bullies our Maine Coon. Our female dog acts like a body guard. It's cute.

How well is your cat now ?

My grandma had a Maine Coon cat. He was the runt of the litter and grew up to be the biggest cat in the litter. He weighed 32 LBS and was in good shape for his weight. He was the most affectionate cat I've ever met. He was also the most skiddish cat I've ever seen. It took me 4 whole years before he would come around me and another three months before he would jump into my lap.

I got my first taste of a Main Coon about 2011. He just walk into my house and made him self at home. I didn’t know anything about them. Unfortunately he passed. Got another one. Don’t believe he was 100% coon but boy did he have ALOT of traits. He followed me around EVERY WHERE! Just like my dogs. I had him for 8 years before cancer took him last June😿 I miss that big buger

So sorry for your losses :(

Recently got a main coon mix, and she's the best. She got sick a week ago, but she's all better now. Now I got a cold and I swear she's been trying to show the same love and care she was shown when she was sick. Pixel (her name) is my best friend.

There was a cat in my neighborhood that when it was a kitten was always with the local raccoon. I called them coon cat. When a neighbor called animal control and had the raccoon taken away, the kitten started to get super skinny. Don't worry, that cat is currently sleeping happily on my bed.

I have 1 and is so loveable and protective over the other 2 smaller ones. He loves water and to cuddle before bed, when I get sick he doesn't want me to leave his sight which is so cute how he falls asleep and wakes up every minute to check on me😂. They are unique cats

I live with an indoor-outdoor Maine Coon (she was indoor-outdoor from birth.) She is a total joy, waits for me outside doors, wakes me up for breakfast, lets out long meows when I come home, and generally is a fabulous companion. She will also fall asleep on my chest--sometimes for 30 or 45 minutes. She sleeps all night every night on my bed. I laugh at her playful antics all the time, including when she starts a game of chase (I am the one doing the chasing) and also when she tries to "murder" various objects in the house with the percussive motion of her back feet. She is sooooo quick with her front paws but always gentle even though she could probably slice open my hands during playtime if she wanted. I am fond of saying she is the best Kit-Kit in the universe (I know...we all think that.)

I know two big beautiful Maine Coons, my neighbor's cats, who have all the characteristics you describe such as liking the outdoors, water and cool wet weather, acting like dogs such as wanting to follow people around, getting along with dogs, being great mouse catchers, not being lap cats, and being vocal. Both these cats were seemingly abandoned as kittens. I wonder if they were from a backyard breeder.
