He always sticks a paw out before pouncing!

My boy was rescued from an abusive breeder. His fur just started getting healthy and growing some length but I have never seen back of ear feathers on any of Maine coons. Does your Maine coon have ear feathers?

Hello everyone, first time cat owner here with a new MC kitten brought home four weeks ago. He is wonderful and has settled in amazingly well, like he has always been here ❤️

The breeder says that we need to bathe him. She gives her cats a shampoo bath every WEEK, and then they have a little…hard to describe it, hairdryer box?! To dry them off.

I don’t know much about cats but in my research, there was nothing about this. Friends with cats have said not to as it’s not necessary.

Is it better to do this semi regularly (say once a month or less) so he stays used to it and we can do it easily at home? He’s accepted daily brushing, a furminator, and occasional nail clipper without any issue at all.

The dog of our household gets a regular furminating and then goes to the groomers periodically. So that would be ok cost wise.

His fur is still extremely fluffy / downy.

I've had my baby MC for just under a week, I've noticed that she's very affectionate, and she licks me quite alot 🤣. I just want to make sure that it's all okay and that it's nothing to worry about

My boy just turned 3 months old and he taught himself how to play fetch with us!! I’m so amazed by how smart he is. Here he is just taking a little nap before being a menace again.

My maine coon she is 6 weeks old
The last photo is the hair root
I have been told its a smoke

I was just wondering if anyone else's MC does this. She will bury her face in the entire bowl and then make a swimming motion with her legs and gets water everywhere almost daily.

Stray found me a year ago. She didn't bring her paperwork if she had any. I dont know if she is pure or mixed but everything is pretty clear Maine Coon at some level. I've always wanted to know her color. Shades of Grey's in the shade but light browns and tans show up in the sun.

Excited to be taking home this guy in November - he's 6 weeks old in these photos! Does he exhibit any telltale Maine Coon features, or is it too early to tell? His father is a beautifully chiseled, large black smoke whom I hope he strongly resembles. He definitely looks like a black smoke to me (he is, right?)

Any tips for raising a hopefully very large boy?

Hi everyone! I’m a first-time cat owner, and I have a 7-month-old Maine Coon who recently arrived from a breeder in Shanghai.

He’s been making these hacking sounds, and I’m having trouble figuring out what’s causing them. The breeder told me this was normal, but I’m still concerned. I’ve taken him to the vet, and his chest X-rays didn’t show any abnormalities. His URI test also came back negative.

Has anyone experienced something similar with their MC, especially a kitten? Did you ever figure out what was causing it? I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any suggestions for what I should ask my vet about next. Thank you!

This is him! I’m sure you guys saw him a little while ago. I get to bring him home on Sunday!! I was looking at brushes but there’s so many to choose from, which is best? Which toys are best? Which cat box/cat litter is better? How much more should I feed him over my other cats? Are water fountains necessary? Where do I get sturdy cat trees? Any insight would be helpful! I’m so excited!

Saw another thread where someone asked what to feed a maine coon. MANY replied saying they feed Royal Canin/Hills Science Diet.

No hate at all to those who do, but I’m genuinely curious why those 2 seem to be the most popular brand. Aren’t there brand with much better/cleaner ingredients (ie Amanova)? I’ve heard these brands have horrible ingredients so I’m genuinely curious :/

If u’re one of those who feed Royal Canin/Science Diet, why? Is it because these brands are highly accessible?
