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.

Do get one, you'll never regret it. Did the photographer say that in cat IQ they measure 200? And if you're also a dog lover, it doesn't get any better than this for having the best of both worlds. They'll actually come when you call them as opposed to taking a message and getting back to you later.

The word that comes to my mind is handsome, but it's probably a female according to its pelt, lol.

Such a beautiful, interesting face! I have a pair of ragdoll sisters and when I call them they wake up from where ever they may be and come a running! <3

This one is rather a more casual kind of cat than the first two. Rather laid back 'n' chillin'

This is definitely a female. Almost all tortoise shell or calico cats are female. She is just beautiful and so sweet looking.

Back in the eighties, we had a beautiful boy with similar markings and true green eyes. We named him Pistachio. Miss him still.
