Cat Owner Shares Breathtaking Photos Of Her Maine Coon, And It’s Crazy How Big It Is

The Maine Coon cat looks like a mythical creature from a fairytale. As one of the biggest cat breeds, even just lounging on a couch the fluffy cats look majestic. Unsurprisingly the owners of these gorgeous kitty cats love to show them off, and I think we can all agree that they are even more instagrammable than some humans.

One such cat owner created an Instagram account that features her Maine Coon Lotus. So far the cute cat model has 49.5k followers, and when you look at her photos, it’s easy to see why. Scroll down below to check out Lotus making everyday cat life seem glamorous! And after looking at these biggest cat specimens, I think you won’t be questioning their Internet fame any longer, as they indeed are exceptional.

    I have a gorgeous pedigree 3 year old Maine c**n the same colour, called Orson. However, although he's an adult and fully grown, he's smaller than the average pet cat. He was the runt out of a large litter of 14 and 1/5 of the size of his brothers and sisters. The breeder neglected him, didn't advertise him or anything and just by chance we visited her house a few hours before she was going to "humanly dispose of him" (read break his neck and kill him) I was sat on her sofa when I felt this little brush of fluff against my ankle and picked him up. He was tiny and could sit in the palm of my hand! He snuggled up on my chest and his piercing blue eyes engaged with mine. I asked her about him and why she never mentioned him and she explained his size, how he wouldn't get money that the others would and thus her plan and I told her I would pay his vet fees and take him with me. He's one of 5 cats I have and I'm sure he knows I saved him that day.

    Many years ago I adopted a cat from RSPCA who looked almost exactly like this. He had been treated *very* badly, and displayed behavior that would be called PTSD in humans. Now I am guessing that I had the privilege of living with a Maine C**n for a while. With lots of care and love he rehabilitated very well. And had a lovely life for a few years. Still I miss him.

    I love Maine Coons. I love the way they look. I love their attitudes, which are very dog like. As a dog person and a fan of adopting (you don't see many Maine Coons in shelters), however, I will probably only ever be able to enjoy them from afar. Lotus is an especially gorgeous example of the breed.

    You can tell by the face. Maine Coons have larger skulls, higher "cheekbones" and longer noses than most cats. Norwegian Forest Cats have softer looking faces and while they tend to be big, they never get as big as the large Maine Coons do.

He was born deaf and now he's gone blind. He's the sweetest cat I think I've ever met and I'm so glad fate brought us together. He's 15 pounds of fur and pure love. my-mr-meow...4343a1.jpg my-mr-meow-meow-5be950f4343a1.jpg

    Awsome creatures but over-bred and overpriced. My cat - a rescue, was large and perfect champagne beige colouring to his long fur. We rescued him a second time when the pond was lightlyfrozen and covered with a coating of snow. We saw him investigating it and inching out onto it . I just managed to grab him by the scruff of the neck as the ice broke under him. Damm cats

    I have a gorgeous pedigree 3 year old Maine c**n the same colour, called Orson. However, although he's an adult and fully grown, he's smaller than the average pet cat. He was the runt out of a large litter of 14 and 1/5 of the size of his brothers and sisters. The breeder neglected him, didn't advertise him or anything and just by chance we visited her house a few hours before she was going to "humanly dispose of him" (read break his neck and kill him) I was sat on her sofa when I felt this little brush of fluff against my ankle and picked him up. He was tiny and could sit in the palm of my hand! He snuggled up on my chest and his piercing blue eyes engaged with mine. I asked her about him and why she never mentioned him and she explained his size, how he wouldn't get money that the others would and thus her plan and I told her I would pay his vet fees and take him with me. He's one of 5 cats I have and I'm sure he knows I saved him that day.

    Many years ago I adopted a cat from RSPCA who looked almost exactly like this. He had been treated *very* badly, and displayed behavior that would be called PTSD in humans. Now I am guessing that I had the privilege of living with a Maine C**n for a while. With lots of care and love he rehabilitated very well. And had a lovely life for a few years. Still I miss him.

    Beautiful cat. The ruler of my house is a 20 pound seal point that looks like a midget next to Lotus. I'm a sucker for cats and think it's impossible to have one to big or to small.

    I love Maine Coons. I love the way they look. I love their attitudes, which are very dog like. As a dog person and a fan of adopting (you don't see many Maine Coons in shelters), however, I will probably only ever be able to enjoy them from afar. Lotus is an especially gorgeous example of the breed.

    You can tell by the face. Maine Coons have larger skulls, higher "cheekbones" and longer noses than most cats. Norwegian Forest Cats have softer looking faces and while they tend to be big, they never get as big as the large Maine Coons do.

    Here's my Maine C**n cat, Mr. Meow Meow. We adopted him from a friend's Grandma who couldn't take care of him anymore (I couldn't let him go to the humane society to be put down!). He was born deaf and now he's gone blind. He's the sweetest cat I think I've ever met and I'm so glad fate brought us together. He's 15 pounds of fur and pure love. my-mr-meow...4343a1.jpg my-mr-meow-meow-5be950f4343a1.jpg

    Awsome creatures but over-bred and overpriced. My cat - a rescue, was large and perfect champagne beige colouring to his long fur. We rescued him a second time when the pond was lightlyfrozen and covered with a coating of snow. We saw him investigating it and inching out onto it . I just managed to grab him by the scruff of the neck as the ice broke under him. Damm cats
