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.

I would be afraid to go to sleep at night if these guys were my pets!!
Oh I don't know, having a couple of loyal mini lions to guard me while I rest sounds quite comforting...

This looks kind of like my cats Thunder and Lightning. Rescues no papers except from the humane society.
Your cat looks almost identical to MY Maine Coon!

Look like they're about to explain their house rules to a perspective lodger 'human'.
The most gorgeous cats in the world. I know, I have a Maine Coon.
I believe black lions do exist..they're just rare...mankind probably almost wiped them out of existence.
I love black cats and this one is just mystically gorgeous <3 <3 <3
Are these cat's house cats? Looks like sort of a bobcat which isn't a house cat! Here in Washington state.
It has been alleged that the Lynx crossed paths somewhere when they came over on the ships.

they are absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I would imagine them to be as soft as chinchillas, what beautiful coats!!!
The fella on the left looks like my rescue Maine Coon, Skylar, except Skylar's eyes are light green. Otherwise, so similar! They have the sweetest temperaments, Maine Coons... : *)
Are gold eyes a trait of this breed or were these just the ones how found?
Ohhh Myyyy God! They are so majestically beautiful. I would love to have this pair. I'm a Leo. We are kindred spirits. Maybe that's why I find them so incredibly stunning!
