This Maine Coon Cat Is So Big Many People Think That It’s A Dog At First

When this kitty head boops you, you're going down ;o)

I've heard the Maine C**n has a very dog-like personality (outgoing, walks with its owner, plays games, etc.). Is that true?

This cat is majestic as fluff.

I was just startled at the picture where he's shaved! I have a Main C**n Ragdoll cross and was told that since they have double coats, shaving them down can ruin their fur texture and in worst case scenarios can cause alopecia. I simply brush ours every 2/3 days, have a de-matting blade just in case and remove all his undercoat every 3 months or so. Since I've done this since he was a kitten too he now looooooves being brushed which makes the whole process very easy. Makes me super sad to see such a majestic cat be shaved down.

Kefir is a truly majestic cat. I would follow him into battle, and together we would be victorious.

Whoa, Kefir is majestic. Don't mess with him

Floofy kitty!!

Most Maine Coons that I've seen also love water, drinking straight from the faucet and playing in it. Some of them swim. I had a 1/4 MC and he was so different from our white Manx but they were both very different than the average domestic cat and they were both rescues. We had them both until they passed away at 13 and 14 years old. The Manx would sit by my oldest daughter at dinner time and if he wanted her food he'd wait for her to get a bite on her fork and very nimbly and quickly swipe it without dropping a crumb. His favorite was grilled salmon. She knew if he was sitting very close when she had food that he fully intended to steal it from her. Our MC, Thai, was happy to wait until we were done and have some salmon and they'd often get some chicken and rice made especially for them. They didn't care for many of the dry foods and there wasn't the variety of healthy pet foods that we have now. So I would often make them up unseasoned meals for them to have and they loved them.

A MC normally takes about 4 years to reach full size. He is going to be a big lad.

This giant floof does look like an awesome sweet boi!

The first two photos are photoshopped - here is the real Kefir: https://www.missmainecoon.com/kefir

I had a black cat whom weighed 28lbs at his largest, but in NO way did he look in any manner as long and tall as this white cat. I'm astounded.

Maine coons grow until they're 4 years of age.

Food for thought- grain-free diets cause urinary crystals in felines and cardiomyopathy in dogs. We want longevity in our animals, feeding a good diet is HUGE! Maine Coons also have horrible dental disease- start brushing their teeth early so they are used to it! He’s absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Makes my 22lb Tuxedo "Miles" (after Miles Davis, a "cool Cat") look like a kitten, and I assure you, Miles is NOT a kitten. His paw stretched out, is as big as the palm of my hand. This guy though, he is humongous.

My Aunt and Uncle have 3 year old,Maine C**n. The time we spent with her was nice. She laid down in the middle of the living room and never moved once. Kids were playing it was loud! She was unfazed!

Love Maine Coons he is gorgeous❤

MASSIVE BEAUTY , LOVELINESS AND CUTENESS, PERTAINING TO FELINES, THAT NO OTHER CREATURE POSSESS, you mean?

OMG, such a handsome "little" one; oh my aching back

Stuff of nightmares

I love the idea of a dog-sized cat.

king kitty cat

Are you sure it isn't a Kajiit escapee from the Elder Scrolls?

Big. Giant. FLOOF. 😻

Imagine when he pretends to be lovey dovey before ripping your hand off 😬

Waw its very Big cats

И в чем его огромность?!?

King Kat

Love this beautiful boy !!

The first photo sure looks odd. The arm looks photoshopped over the image of the cat. Out of proportion.

Not a cat...that's Krampus

I had two. One lived to be 15, he was large at 15 lbs, and yes, very loyal, and dog like! Best cat breed ever!

Can we write Maine C o o n without being censored?

Photoshopped, by the look of it. They get big, but nowhere near that big.

Love the bathrrom scene.

"Mommy" doesn't look Russian. African? Cat is totally gorgeous andI love those eyes!
