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 can't stop staring at this one! Beautiful, both the cat and the photography!
So blue eyes against the gray they almost glow... such a beautiful kitten
Those feet are serious I'd not want to be on the receiving end of those
These cats are all so beautiful, They don't even look real. Beautiful photographs!
even ity bity most likely still larger than my 20 pounder - soo cute
Back in the eighties, we had a beautiful boy with similar markings and true green eyes. We named him Pistachio. Miss him still.
That tune.... "Something Wicked This Way Comes" popped into my head! Little rascals I'm sure.
I don't always look so beautiful, but when I do, I make sure someone takes my picture
I want them ALL!
Stunning photography that brings out the best. Gives a new appreciation of what a coon cat really is! Thank you for this insight.
We live with 5 Maine Coons and they are amazing creatures. They have fabulous pursonalities, are typically social and are very loving. I have attached a picture of Rusty our big red classic boy, begging for treats with our 8 year old granddaughter. The coat, color and personality are driven by genetics. There are many breeders out there, but be careful that the breeder tests for genetic issues, heart and hip problems. A reputable breeder will require a contract with no declaw clause and indoor only. http://www.breedlist.com type Maine Coon and then select a state. Rusty-Trea...acd9bc.jpg
Beautiful boy..thank you
I am getting a Maine coon. I need to know all there is in training them. My half Bengal is pretty smart, not sure if I could let her loose though
