Mythical Beasts: Photographer Captures The Majestic Beauty Of Maine Coons
1.3Mviews
Let photographer Robert Sijka introduce you to Maine Coons - domesticated big cat breed that sure will leave you in awe. These fluffy cats are basically the closest thing to a lynx that you can share your home with, without worrying too much about your well-being.
Sijka always saw Maine Coon cats as majestic, almost mythical, not overly cute cats and now he came up with a way to share that image with the rest of us: "My passions are cats and photography, I do my best to combine these two things as good as possible," the photographer shares on his website. And he managed to combine those passions perfectly in his royal-like Maine Coon cat photo series.
He got the inspiration from a "photo of Dolce Vita and De La Loo - two of the most majestic black Maine Coon kittens photographed beautifully on a simple black background," Robert told Cat Behaviourist. And ever since that moment, he was creating these mesmerizing portraits himself.

Maine Coons come in all colors except blue. I have a 20 lb, 13 y/o Maine coon, The Great Zeus.
What a beauty. I bought a Maine Coon Baby from a breeder in Fallbrook, I will never forget being asked to come in her house,Megan and I entered and I kid you not, there were at least thirty cats hanging out in her living room. when I exclaimed how many there were she said o lot more, in different rooms in her house. Just thinking about dealing with all the catlitter, made me feel uneasy. Each cat had a price tag of $1000. or more. The lady sold me a cat for $100. because it had an infection as a baby, that ruined it's eye, She could see fine but her eye excluded her for SHOW.That was the sweetest cat...she died early at the meeting of a huge dog. That undid me. I want another. my cat Squirrel, is half Maine Coon he isn't fluffy, but he is a big boy!
this is probably one of the most unusual color & facial structure I have ever seen. Kitty's face reminds me of a lion!
