Maine Coone also has an M on their forehead!
I've got one of these things. He's fucking ridiculous. He recognises my car, chases me home, and has full conversations with me telling me how his day's been when I get in. Absolute legend.

I agree....I have a maine coon and she loves black coffee froth. She just loves it. And loves a lick of my fiber drink at night. And totally understands the language.
I had a MC who lived to be 19. Buz was a big grey cat and incredibly smart. One summer day my wife and I were arguing about her spending habits. I told her that it's getting to the point where we won't have enough money left for food. Little did we know that Buz was listening. A few hours later I walked into the living room and there, on the floor in the center of the room, was a blister pack of hot dogs. I was astonished and almost reduced to tears. Buz must have exited the back door, climbed over the 6' wood fence in the back yard, stolen some poor guy's pack of hot dogs while he was in the house waiting for the grill to heat up, climbed back over the 6' wood fence while carrying the hot dogs, walked into the living room and gently placed them in the middle of the floor. They were in perfect condition with no bite marks. It was his contribution to the family. I'll love that cat forever.

These cats are dogs in cat bodies. My baby loved car rides, would sit on command, love to sit in my bike basket, was trained, loved showers. And refused to chase mice. He look at me and say" Darling, I refuse to chase that dirty critter." Please call the the exterminator ." Oh, when speaking he had a British accent. Who knew!

Friends were amazed by our Maine Coon. Smartest cat I ever saw. He must have had a huge vocabulary because he would fetch objects on command. He was also the only cat I ever heard of who would return home when we called him, no matter where he was in the neighborhood. Did not drink water by lapping but scooped it up with his paw. Extremely clean and wonderfully loving. I’m a dog lover, but this MC changed my mind about cats. (He also got along extremely well with our older dachshund. The cat was so big the dachshund could walk underneath him.)
My 20 pounder doesn't have a owner, he has a servant. That's me. And I love every minute attending to my best buddies needs, love, and friendship.

I'm definitely my cats owner and it knows it. But I prefer the term companion, friend, or family. Why do people still spout that nonsense that cats are the dominate ones in the relationship dynamic. What type of doormat would someone need to be to let their cats dominate them? Do you feed your cat? Do you shelter your cat? Do you offer protection for your cat? Do you provide special medical aid by vet visits if needed for it's well being? in nature the one that meets these needs in a pack or family is the leader or dominate member and thus all cat owners are the dominate ones.. good cats know this and mind their place.

Exactly I knew that immediately. I've own both a female & male Maine Coon cat. The male was 27 LBs at three. Sadly he passed away due to cancer I guess at almost 11 years old. But he and his grandfather were both huge. Zeus was 27 LBs and grand champion grandfather Big Mac was 32 lbs. They looked like twins but a few lbs lighter.
In awe of these lads. Absolute units.

we adopted a Maine Coone cat from our local shelter. We do believe he was abandoned as a kitten and maybe he was just "found" and brought to the shelter due to his personality. He was very aggressive, did NOT want to be touched at all. Now that we've had him for a few years, he's calmed down a LOT. He don't like tummy rubs, but he does love to cuddle in bed. This is the first time i've ever owned a Maine Coone and wasn't aware of how big they got, but I wouldn't trade my Maine Coone kitty for anything...despite him being a big cat, he's still my baby kitten :)

I feel like it depends on the cat. Most of the cats we've had through my life have enjoyed having their belly rubbed. But we have gotten them all as kittens and they grew up with constant contact and love as a result being very devoted and affectionate as adults. My current cat was and abandoned stray who I later learned was a Bombay. She turned out to be extremely cuddly and affectionate. Loves to be held and rubbed all over. Most especially at the root of her tail. Is accustomed to being held belly up like a newborn human as that's the easiest way to hold her without her getting stuck to our clothing. For whatever reason the poor girl is not able to fully retract her claws.
Best pets ever. I lost mine in 2018. I had him for 17 years. The best 17 years of my life. We've been through a lot together. Traveling throughout the country. Taking a job in a different state. And, a few relationships. I still think about him and smile as well as dream about him. I can't think of a better companion than a Maine Coon cat.
My aunt got one in 1970 they had a 2 yr old dog , they played together, the dog ran around the area for years , then was getting attacked by some dogs down the street. the cat would follow the dog after that and terrorized aggressive dogs

Yes they are. But never forget, that they are top predators. A grown Maine Coon, that has a bad day can easily bite off your finger, and it won’t even bother him much. They don’t do that, but they could. When handling a big boy - or a girl with an attitude, one should never forget that.

I had one of the magnificent cats years ago. When he went outside neighborhood dogs would cross the street to avoid him. He was a real no nonsense cat and is still missed. He was with us for about 17 years.
My Maine Coone was definitely my cat and not my husband's nor my son's. He had and attitude and treated the cat sitter as his servant. He would walk to her house and knock on her door when he was hungry. He would also swat to others from time to time just to remind others who was boss. He would sleep on my husband's side of the bed and would not move until physically moved somewhere else. I often wondered if my cat was jealous of my husband. He was a very smart cat and I miss him since his passing.

Dear cat lovers: I have the most beautiful orange tabby cat. His little paws look like he has white mittens on his front paws, and white booties on his back paws, with a white spot on his nose, and a white chest and tummy. I found him at a wonderful no kill shelter. This adorable little cat is all mine...he socializes with my sons, buy he is glued to me. He is with me all day long, right at my side. He is so precious to me that my sons ask me what am I going to do when Peanut dies...I have no answer. We have had alot of pets, with 6 sons, they always brought some neglected little animal for me to fix up.(I'm a registered nurse) but my Peanut is different. He acts like he really knows what I say to him. I'm a young widow, 5 of my sons are in the armed forces, and the youngest is at home. May God bless each of you wonderful pet owners, and your pets, too, of course. And, yes, I really don't know what I will do without him.I know you people understand me. And I'm so sorry about your dearly beloved cat passing. May your heart find comfort.

Our Maine Coon, Mick, was part of our family for 17 years. He was huge, 25 pounds in his prime, smokey gray with green eyes and a huge fluffy tail. He was more like a dog than a cat, following our daughter around and was a clown at heart. One of his favorite tricks was to sneak up behind me and meow so loud that I would jump out of my skin. He would chuckle to himself and trot off. He also got along great with our bulldogs, and loved to hang out with them. He was a classic, and we loved him dearly.

I have bred these for 10 years and still have 7 giants at home! I adore this breed! And they are all what is said here. Real nice giant sweethearts.
I met a very handsome big boy named Henry at my local shelter. He was very large because he was on the streets for most of his teenaged live which allowed him to grow very large before he was neutered. He was a very soft cuddly boy who had trouble finding a forever home because he had to be kept separate from the other cats due to a medication/food that he was limited to. Poor baby. :( There are so many lovely shelter animals at your local shelter, so please consider adopting!
My maine coon loves playing all day. She brings her toys to my partner and I and taps us to play with her. Her favorite game is playing fetch and catching the ball in the air. And she speaks the whole day. D: SHE IS ADORABLE
had one from 3 years old all the way up to 19, he use to take naps with me after school. def the best cats
I used to think that people, especially breeders, exaggerated maine coons' unique features until I adopted one, and the only thing I can really say after that is boy was I wrong. They absolutely are everything people say about them. Gentle caring giants with sweet melodic voices and so much more! My little bro once hasn't seen me eating through the day, so he scolded me (judging by the intonation from a human standpoint, of course) and it looked like he even offered me some of his food while refusing to eat himself before I started eating. That, along with his behavior after he had excess eyelid skin removal surgery, when he once-seemingly out of gratitude to me for helping him while he was effectively blind for some time-jumped onto my bed, hugged my arm with his paws and fell asleep like that, which is uncharacteristic for him, for he prefers sleeping either on wide open spots or under my bed if he feels like not being harassed out of his relaxation and he-time (when we brought him home with him still being a little kitten with 0 understanding of who were these people who took him away from his mom, dad and siblings, while getting accustomed to our home he moved from under one peice of furniture to under another, and everyone tried to unceremoniously grab or at least lure him from there, even shining flashlight on him on a couple of occasions, so when he crawled under my bed I held our ground growling towards anyone trying to harass him even more; it became his safe haven since then, and he regularly goes to sleep undisturbed there). Adopting a maine coon is like getting a sibling, a dog and the most controllable cat in one. Absolutely magical. And don't even get me started on how seemingly smart and curious they are.
My grandma's cat was a Maine Coon, lived to be 22 and was super docile, could pet his tummy and pick him up, super loving and friendly cat, never heard him hiss
My maine coon cat just died and now i'm watching this. 😢

Mine died of Renal/kidney disease at 6 years old this December 2020😭😞😭Please everyone!!! Talk to your Vets about this terrible illness. I don't know if it is an illness that is related to Maine Coon cats or not but what I read leads me to believe that catching it early can lead to a longer life with special diet and care from a Veterinarian. Our vet was amazing and did everything they could to help him. Leo was just the best and every story of how absolutely awesome they are makes me miss him so much. My hubby says he got into some brake fluid or something... but I'm not sure. In any case, they are just the best pets. Leo even let my 2 year old granddaughter give him a kiss on his back. He did get to know her a bit, hanging around while watching her play and before I knew it he was down where she could pet him and see him up close. He was SO good with her❤️ l love you forever Leo kitty

Oh this is a great relief from the news! Time with the magnificent and beautiful cats! Ty!
Rescued a Maine Coon 4 months ago, after he survived outdoors for 3 years. What a different kind of cat this is (than any of my previous)! Tough (yikes) but very loving, vocalizations (OMG) I've never heard before, super clean, polite, and loyalty rivaling a great dog. I heard this breed is expensive to buy, there's a reason.
I rescued mine from living in a drain in my apartment complex. Stella is absolutely stunning. I also have a cat, Luna, that my brother and I adopted together. She is incredibly territorial and mean. She’s coming along ever so slightly. However, Stella just wants Luna to love her. Stella is beyond cuddly and sweet, loves sleeping on my chest. She’s so tiny, from being abandoned and not knowing how to hunt for food without her mother. She is currently being nursed back to properly. I love my darling little rescue kitten ♥️
Our beloved Maine Coon (Kaboodles) came to us as a "road cat" -- we rescued him on the coldest night of the year after a neighbor found him in their yard. He was about a year old, and lived with us for the next 13 years until he died of heart failure at 14. About 30% of have a genetic mutation that makes it likely that they will develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - thickening of the muscle walls of the - and, in time, this condition leads to failure and/or other complications. (www.ufaw.org.uk/cats/maine-coon-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy) Boo was my best and dearest friend. When I was down he'd bring me a chipmunk (alive and uninjured) and drop in in front of me with a look that said "Here, have fun!" He loved chasing them and was sure I would, too. Boo ran the entire household and supervised all the other cats. He loved riding in the car and went on vacations with us. He could tell time and never failed to wake me at 7 am for breakfast. If we dared shut him out of the bedroom he'd sit at the door and howl mournfully until we gave up and let him in (yes, we spoiled him rotten). If you love cats and have the chance to share your life with a Maine Coon, you are truly fortunate! Just be aware that they can have health issues and make sure your vet is up to date on treatments and medication.
Absolutely beautiful...
My MC, Short Round, was a wonderful animal. Huge, affectionate, obedient, amazing. Loosing him and his sister was too much for me. I will never get another animal. The loss is just too much.

If it was a recent loss, wait awhile...you'll find that you miss having them around. I know I did. No I'm getting 2 MC kittens this week. Yay!! Can't wait.... You will know when you're ready. Take care.
I’ve had one for 8 years, he’s the best :)
Oh my God, this cat is HUGE
I had a Maine Coon years ago, and I would love to adopt another one ❤
Incredible kitties, the ones I've experienced have all been incredible
I want to adopt one. Love them.
I bought this little kitten and the only way I can explain his end size is maincoon black tuxedo 22lbs
I’m considering getting one, thank you for all your help, great content!
My Maine Coon, Abbadoon is 14 yrs. I love him dearly n he's great w kids. Great video !
Fun fact. The first cat shows in the USA were about the Main Coon. Farmers were so proud of their mousers that they gathered to show them off.
Thank you !! I'm getting one myself so this was helpful
Mine lived for 20 years. He was a good, big boy. RIP Simba.

my maine Coon's name is Nala.
Had a jet black shorthaired kitten when i grew up on the farm. I never got her shots never get her fixed, never touched her claws and did not need to bath her. And she was strong healthy brave and happy all the way to the end.
Absolutely gorgeous. 💖
We adopted a small sick kitten from the shelter, and he turned out to be a strong boi tabby/maincoon mix.
My favorite cats by far. Smart, sweet and great with children in my experience. Mine actually required minimal grooming as others have mentioned. I will say though make sure you get one from a very reputable breeder who does genetic testing to avoid my heartbreak. One of mine lived to 9 but died of cardiomyopathy. The other one threw a saddle thromboembolism at 2 years old. I have never been more heartbroken in my life. My son who was almost 1 when we lost him looked at the stairs for weeks looking for "kaa" to come down. He still remembers him now at 6 years old. Take care.....
What an absolute unit
In awe of the size of that lad. Absolute unit.
The cat wearing the tie 😭😭😍❤️❤️❤️
Perfect combo of Thicc and fluffy.
I had a Maine Coon in my life at one point in time. She had been separated from her mother at a very young age. When we first got her, she was out of control, almost like a wild animal, but got along with the cat we already had (whom was a very tiny cat, and much older, but he just wanted a friend) as the years went by, she got HUGE!!! But the little cat still holds his own when playing and chasing. She can be so sweet and caring, but turn on a dime. I chalk that up to be being separated so early in life. They're both still alive and doing well, just not physically in my life anymore. But I'm still sent photos of them regularly.
Beautiful, never heard of this breed. Thanks for sharing.
I knew a coon cat that lived to be 28 or 29. I cant remember. The cat was a farm stud, ruling over many other cats, and the only one allowed in the house.
Floof!

Love Main Coons❤️❤️
If you ever have the opportunity to get one, do it! I’ve owned cats my entire life. I was given one as a kitten and he is 10 now. They are very special. So social, sweet and loving. He loves to eat and eats almost anything I give him. He loves pulling fish out of our lake and eating them whole. And he loves getting high on catnip. He is so fluffy with the biggest tail anyone has ever seen. You can hold him anyway you want too. So as you can see I love my Maine Coon Cholly Boy. ❤️
Love me Maine Coons! Thanks for sharing.

I had a maine coon. Not a pure bred one. He was a lot smaller, but not a tiny fella. He was very kind to strangers. He was just a loving, fluffy, friend to everyone. He died sometime around Christmas 2019.

Yeah the pure ones are huge. My stepgrandmother who is also my landlord in the duplex we live in, she broke her hip 2 years ago and couldn't take care of the Maine Coon she had anymore. My mother and stepfather wanted me to take it. I told them no way, I have 4 cats already, one female, 3 males, all fixed. The female is definitely "The Queen" of the group she chases away the males except one that she likes. Far as I'm concerned I'm happy with that, my female cat was the first in this house, and she knows it. It would have been nothing but problems, my female cat is all "bark" no bite, and my smallest male cat (the one the female likes) isn't afraid of anything, doesn't matter if its a bigger cat or a Doeberman, he wont back down, and he'd definitely get clobbered by a Maine Coon if it got territorial. There was no way I was bringing in a cat twice as big as the ones I already got. Was a pretty cat though, my stepfather named her (yes. HER) "Cletus". Sorry about your loss.

Yeah. He went with my dad after my parents divorced. My mom claimed he was a loner despite him clearly not being a loner and loving the other cats. There was some issues with my grandmother's cat after my dad went to live with her. She was a sassy, territorial, b*tch. But one swiff of the maine coon's scent and she stopped eating (but she got over that.) Not wanting the maine coon to stay in the basement, we decided the maine coon would come back to live with me and my mother. Problem was, the moment he stepped foot back in the house, he became a jerk. He became incredibly hostile to his younger brother who he had lived with for many years because he saw him as a threat. He would intimidate him rather than attack him. And that poor younger cat, fat and arthritic, would literally sh*t himself. He still poops on the floor to this day and is afraid of a certain hallway if it's not lit. He was a victim of unnecessary territorial and hierarchal instincts. It's not that the maine coon was a asshole. The most he did to the second oldest cat was bap him on the head one time when he was just a kitten. And that wasn't mean, it was more of a friendly, brotherly, acknowledgment. I miss him.

Oh. And the maine coon went back to my grandmother's and stayed in the basement with my dad. My grandmother's cat died in like August or October, then the maine coon died in December. He was about to inherit the upstairs, but died before he got the chance.
When I first went to sleep over my friends new house and he led me to this smaller portion of the house, he turned on the light and all I see is one of these cats standing on the counter, thought he bought a domesticated minx. Coolest pet I’ve ever seen in person.
this is my dream cat!😊
My baby is a runt but he’s still twice the size of my other cat❤️❤️
We got a male black cross. He is 16lbs and presents as a full blood. I think the shelter was incorrect. He was returned twice but we have had him for several years now and he has blossomed into a beautiful happy kitty. Smart as a whip, has his own language and will come and get us when he wants something like food or a door opened. He will ask for grooming and to top it all off he is a master hunter. We used to have a problem with mice. He is such a gentleman and we enjoy his trills and calls. We love him to bits.
