My daughter had a Maine coon who never liked me! Until she moved out and took the cat! When I visited he loved me! He also liked playing with the raccoons on the house roof! He passed at 15yrs! He was a runt for his breed!he was very different from my half siamese- Russian blue! I have a severe cat allergy! My baby is ok for allergies!

[@tubawritaguy]

I love Maine Coons. Wish I had one. I have to disagree on some of your true and false. I've been watching videos. 1. Never saw a video where the cat is angry, even when rough playing with other cats and small dogs. 2. Seen some loving belly rubs. 3. They appear to be very social, jumping on sofas and laying down next to a person. 4. They do sit on naps. 5. Saw video of Maine Coon kitten on their owner's stomach and meowing, like an ordinary cat. I've also seen videos where a grown Maine did meow. 6. Some do love water. One video showed a cat laying next to their dishes, dipping their paw in their water dish and licking the water off their paw. Another showed a cat walking along the rim of a bathtub, to get to the faucet so they could tilt their head under the faucet to drink water. Another video showed a Maine lounging in a tub of water, as if it was natural. Plus there are pictures of Maines walking in snow, which is a form of water. Since they are very independent, you can judge the behavior of one as they mind set of all. Maybe this is how your cat behaves. Very independent. Thank you for the video.

My sister has a mainecoon that purrs and chirps and loves to be pet. His brother is a mix and will come sit and fall asleep in my lap and he has very long meows.

[@jamiewilcox.506]

My MC looked just like your beautiful boy. He lived to be 23!!! I'll tell you a little story - i ALWAYS wanted a MC. One day I was shopping in Petco. Was in the cat food aisle and guess what was at the end of it? The adoptions windows, of course! Told myself to walk on by, but....i stopped "just a second" to look. There was a poor old cat there who was so depressed he didn't even raise his head up. He was so full of hairballs they had to shave him very short. I felt so sad for him and told the clerk "I'll take that sad cat" I took him home, and nd as his hair grew out -- he was a beautiful MAINE COON❤❤❤❤ !!!!!! He was the sweetest cat I've ever had in my 72 yrs.

Found my MC at a yard sale, which became her name. It was more of a rescue, the previous owners hated her. We had a rough 1st year w/me going to the Doctors twice for bite infections. Once I gained her trust, she was a totaly different cat. RIP Yardsale.

*Beautiful story!* 💋🐺💋

[@lucyb7929]

My female Maine Coon also lived to be 23 and was the most beautiful, intelligent cat I have ever had. She was named Fuzzball and my son brought her home from KMart where a boy was giving them away. When I saw her beautiful face and enormous eyes I knew she was going to be ours. She was just as smart as they say and figured out how to let a rabbit out of its hatch in a backyard several streets away from us, just so they could play. The rabbit owner followed her home just to tell me how smart my cat was!

Had a fenale main coon and she was very affectionnate cat. She loved to sleep on my lap and she had a favorite blanked and would put that blanked on me and jumped quickly on me and loved to be peted and would purr so much. She loved it in the morning when i took her in my arms and was rocking her. She was just a good cat. Miss her so much. Was just a wonderful cat.

[@sarahmcmillen495]

We have a male Maine Coin, Sprocket. Definitely the most gentle, loving, intelligent cat I've ever known. I've even trained him to sit at meals, sit and stay on his bed, open the outside door himself, ring a homemade door bell when he wants to go out, and come when called. Definitely the dog of the cat world. He loves to follow you on walks like a dog as well. He chirps much like Grace, but also has a whole vocabulary of meows. He loves the ppl food like Grace too! He also never uses his claws on humans (even at the vet getting shots! He will try to escape, but never lashes out.) However he is certainly a lap dweller, and is the most affectionate cat I've known, constantly nuzzling, and wanting to be on your lap (the only exception is during the hot weather). We loved your video! Please post more! :-D I especially love your commentary for Grace!

[@ramonaschober600]

Sarah McMillan ~ My male Dwarf Maine Coon, Squish, is very like your Sprocket; in that, my husband calls him my puppy, because he follows me everywhere. Also, Squish has a large meow/merp vocabulary. If he can't find me, he even meows "mah-mah"! Supurr cute! Although, he doesn't like to sit in laps, he *Loves* getting his belly rubbed. 😺 Whether giants or dwarves, Maine Coons truly are sweethearts!!!

[@jenniferwood8944]

I took in abandoned kitty I named Sam - I now know he is a main coone - he is lovely! And I am smitten! He is gorgeous!

[@bullettube9863]

I've had a lot of cats and every one had a different personality and quirks. I've had a Maine Coon and a Siamese and both loved high places, while my other cats are Tabbys and prefer to lie on the back of the sofa. The best cat you'll have is one you raised from a kitten, they bond with you more completely though with time an adult will also bond with you. I had one orange Tabby that liked to play catch much like a dog, and purred so loud people heard him from across the room! Treat all pets with love and respect and you'll be rewarded with many years of enjoyment and returned love.

[@jazzcatt]

I've hardly ever had kittens. Mine are usually adult rescues, and after a time an adult will bond with you. It has taken up to two years for some of my adult rescues. Once they realize that they have found a forever home is when they begin to trust. After the trust builds, the bonding begins. To me that kind of love and bonding means so much more. It has to be earned.

[@bullettube9863]

Mine lays meatloaf on my chest and likes to rub his face against my chin if i havent shaved my face recently. Also if i am sleeping too long for his liking, he knows he can ever so slightly extend his claws and gently touch my face. Hes poking me, only because he knows I can be a heavy sleeper haha. It was so cool seeing him really understanding my personality and adapting accordingly. Always in a respectful way of course (duh). It proves that the constant eye contact is really them being so intrigued and interested in bonding and building the most loving relationship between animal and man that i have ever experienced. I love my Francis. He turns 4 is September

We had a Maine Coon years ago. He was was sweetest cat we have ever had. He never bit or scratched anyone. He was gentle and fun loving. He played fetch as well as any dog. He didn't mind belly rubs but did not like to sit in your lap. Like in the video, he would stay for a few seconds and then move on but he loved to sit next to us. I miss him a lot.

[@melindac3368]

They're really special cats with good personalities and just an overall good cat experience to have.

[@ichhasseamerika]

Definitely 'Gentle Giants'!

[@joanbreva5569]

I've rescued a Maine Coon from the woods. She must have been abused, but in the 3 years I've had her she has somewhat overcome that fear of mistreatment. It took a lot of work, but she is really the best cat ever. She runs the dogs, has learned not to tear me apart while we play, and actually tries to sleep with me. It's been a long time coming.

[@cindywitter9741]

We had a Maine Coon in the 70’s/80’s. Sam was such an awesome kitty! He was orange, tan and white, really beautiful! He had those beautiful rings on his tail, and webbed double pawed feet. He was enormous! In his prime he weighed in at 35lbs. He’d scare people who came over and met him for the first time because of his size but he was, as it’s said, a gentle giant ♥️. He had one bad habit and we’d have to watch him so he wouldn’t get into trouble. He LOVED alcoholic drinks! If you poured a beer into a glass if you left it and walked away his face would be right in the glass drinking away! Same for mixed drinks, especially sweet drinks. Since alcohol is a huge no no with any pet we’d really had to watch him. He lived to age 18, it was hard saying so long for now but it was his time. He wasn’t ill, but he’d lost a lot of weight in a short time span. If we really listen they tell us when it’s time. And the last gift of love we give them is to be with them as they begin their next journey. 😊♥️

[@christah4102]

My Maine Coon likes potato chips. He also likes sweet candy called Smarties. If he sees me eating Smarties, he will run over and beg until I give him a tiny bite. The only time I let him have chips is if we are trimming his claws. It's the only way he will allow me to cut his claws, I have to feed him little bites of Barbecue chips while I'm doing it. I've never had a cat that liked junk food, until I got this cat. I love my cats so much!

My kitten is part mainecoon. He has all the "typical" traits personality wise. He also has the ears. He's so talkative and cuddly. He naps in my arms on his back, belly up. It's so hard not to laugh when he does it. Too cute.

[@knitwit9447]

I have a male maine coon cat, and he stays in my lap all the time. He loves to curl up on my chest to sleep, and it's adorable! Plus he meows quite a bit. Well, it's more like talking, and it sounds a little strange, but he's so vocal. I don't know exactly how old he is, but I'm thinking he's a year or two old. He definitely uses claws but I don't think he means to. Of course he bites when he's grumpy lol

[@gracemainecoon3691]

[@DoowopLover]

I had a Maine Coon cat at one time. His name was Sydney. I had him for 14 years. Unfortunately, he passed away 6 or 7 years ago. He was a stray and he adopted me. The biggest problem in having pets is that we outlive them. It's like losing your best friend. Now, I have a Korat cat. Her name is Katherine. She is sweet and affectionate. She also was a stray cat. Now, she has a forever home.

[@apokryphos117g]

DoowopLover 1946 Agreed. My Maine Coon, Hercules, died almost 15 years ago. I’ve rescued strays since, but since I’m down to one cat, I’m thinking that it’s time for another M.C. I’m thinking of an elderly cat at a shelter that I can pamper. G

[@DoowopLover]

@@apokryphos117g Prior to having Sydney, my Maine Coon cat, I had a dog named Rocky. He was a husky/border collie/wolf hybrid mix. I raised him from a little puppy. When he died, he was almost 15 years old. I went through a phase where I didn't want any more pets, because it hurts so much, and I can't handle the heartbreak. Then a year or two later, there was a cat who lived across the street. The people moved and left him behind. I left cat food and water on the carport for him. Then he came inside, and the rest is history. I had Sydney for 14 years, and when he died, I put cat food out on my terrace for the stray cats. A few came inside, and the others preferred to remain feral. But they all had something to eat. About 4 months ago, I saw a little gray female cat in the building next door. Then I saw her scrounging around for food. She came inside, sniffed around, and made herself at home. Apparently, a case of someone moving and leaving the cat behind. I know she is a Korat cat, and they originally came from Thailand. She is very sweet and affectionate. I named her Katherine. She is usually quiet, but if she wants something, she becomes very vocal. I agree that it's best to adopt a pet rather than buy one from a pet shop. Or take in a stray if the animal is willing. If you really want to adopt that Maine Coon cat at a shelter, then go for it....Doo.

We adopted a true father and son this past August. Wow! They are amazing and our now six-month old kitten is over 6kg on a raw diet! He’s already larger than any non-Maine Coon I’ve ever had. His Dad, who had been neutered the day of adoption is now 9kg at eighteen months. They’re not chubby, just big and powerful. Dad can easily make a 165cm broad jump from a standing start. Their paws and claws are huge, but they are both so incredibly gentle.

My Siberian was almost identical to your Maine Coon, except he loved to sit on laps. And the Siberian's hypoallergenic qualities might be a little better.

Doesn't like to be held for very long because she's so big but loves to be cuddled and is always with me wherever I go in the house. She also lets us pet her belly and she usually starts purring when we do which is not normal for a cat. I love her 😄

Imagine if you had to eat next to the potty you poo and pee in. Cats don't like it either. They are very clean animals,. Other than having her food near her toilet she seems very happy and very well cared for. I miss my Maine Coon, Mac, every day. He was loving, sweet and very smart. He saved my partner's life. He would not stop trying to get me to follow him. When I gave up after about ten minutes, Mac led me to find my partner lying on the floor....he had a stroke and Mac knew he needed to help. Without Mac It may have been another hour before I knew anything was wrong. They are very intelligent.

Back in 1990 I got a grey and white Maine Coon from a breeder in Carmel, Ca. His Grandfather was a Grand Champion in the State of Ca. We named him CJ for the white C and J on his side of dark gray fur. We had 5 cats and 2 Beagles at the time, but he was mine. The most loving cat of many I have ever had the pleasure of living with. I would lay on my bed reading the newspaper and he would jump up, climb up on my stomach ( he wasn't light !), Stick his nose up under the bottom of the paper and get as high up on my chest as he could. His purr was incredibly loud. As I would pet him, he would reach up and very, ever so gently bite and hold onto my chin purring even louder. He never hurt me even once. He would go for walks with my wife and I but it seemed the corner was as far as he would go. A couple loud meows and he would turn around and head home, tail held high. So big , he could, standing on his hind feet , look directly onto the kitchen counter. Always in the mood for a good belly rub. I greatly miss him.

I have allergies to cats, but my main coon as a kid was goofy as hell. She loved belly scratches, but she also loved to murder you when walking up the stair case. She loved being spun super fast in the computer chairs. I never had any bad allergic reactions to Blue.

I also had an orange MC. He was 23 pounds (ca. 10 kg) and not fat only a little chubby. There was a slanted tree hanging out the side of a small cliff. He could stand on most of it without claws. It overlooked a river and a fair distance(1200 feet (0.37 km)) of railroad tracks. There was a nearby hill with an abandoned building that had around 80-100 mostly wild cats including some other Maine Coons. His name was Max, and he was very protective and territorial of that tree. It was his tree and other cats wanted it too. It was above and overlooking a small field of tall grass and poison sumac. He acted like he was the king, and he was some sort of alpha authority for the best part of a decade. Some cats he seemed to allow would come and hang out near him and a few times he even tried to invite them in the house. I remember one day, out of the blue, a small orange kitten crawled up on him while he was sleeping and curled up and got comfortable. He just stared a sec and then laid his head back down. He was actually born in that area, and he had a wild orange father who had impregnated the neighbors cat. His father was an orange Maine Coon that looked and acted like some kind of king just like him. We joked that we had a miniature Lion King with the way he acted with that tree. A truly Unique and amazing animal he was! Never had another cat like him, and yes he was a Maine Coon.

[@dennisproulx3215]

Reminds me of my cat Micky. He’d love to slinky on my shoulder like a baby. Affectionate! Vacuum killer? Maybe 4 vacuums ? But worth it!!

[@fathimahamza3163]

I have 2 MC. 1 is a male and his name is Simba. He is 2. The other 1 is a female her name is Nala and she is 1 year old. They both are look alike your cat but a long and medium hair. They both are pretty large in size. They are very friendly and they never bit or scratch us. We love when they talk. They are very chatty. They play fetch. I can say so many good and special things about them. They are very good to have in ur life. We all are very happy with our cats. If u don't have a MC yet, adopt 1 then, you'll know.

My sister had a Tabby Main Coon mix and he was like the cat version of Liam Neeson. He went missing twice and was able to hunt to survive. He would also help keep the rodent population down around my house.

[@pancakeevergarden7451]

Hehe! I'm getting a Maine Coon on the 18th of Feb and we're going to name her Pebbles after the cat that played Mrs Norris in Harry Potter 😊😊😊😊😂😂 I'm so excited!

[@ajom734]

Lost my old cat in October after 15 years together. Still has her sister but wanted a new friend for her. I found a mixed Maine Coon kitten and it has been the best impulsive shopping I have done:-) They play together so well, she follows me like a dog and catch things if you throw them to her.

[@AlmostReady504]

The girl narrating has a lovely accent and is very pretty. Long-haired cats can be a lot of work but they are beautiful

[@GzimoRadio]

It might be true for this MC but not for all. Mine (not a mix) mews like crazy. Loves to be hold and demands to walk around while holding him. Can't take my shoes off when I come home until I scoop him up. Oh yeah... every night he falls asleep with my hand rubbing his belly, it’s his fav place to rub...

[@alexclark307]

I had one that I grew up with she got to be 18, she was the sweetest cat I have ever meet

[@alaric49]

I adopted an orphaned Maine Coon kitten 6 months ago. I have always had domestic cats, but Maine Coons are different. He is really smart, extremely social (even around strangers), very strong and athletic. He does love to play, but can be a bit rough by some peoples' standards, but never actually bites and never has his claws out. So much personality too! Now 7 and 1/2 months he is already over 4 kilograms - or about 9 pounds. A great addition to any animal lovers' home. I do think that they should be adopted by people who have experience with felines as some of their behavior is not typical compared to other domestic breeds.

[@robertlehnert4148]

I had a Maine Coon mix and he made noises exactly like those guys. RIP Mitzvah.

[@mathewhorodner2000]

We had a Maine Coon mix named Pebbles; she talked that way, too. :) She has soon since been laid to rest in the pet cemetery.

[@Battlestar31164]

R.I.P. sweet Mitzvah ❤️=^..^=❤️

[@crackbarcentre3669]

My MC tries to meow anyway and the sound is so cute. It’s basically is a meow but it’s so gentle and sounds like a desperate attempt.

[@andreamcclure8235]

They are awesome cats ours is a gentle giant . But they are particular about WHERE they are petted and choose WHEN want to be picked up if at all . Very loyal and can be trained to fetch at least ours does.

[@christah4102]

Mine will play fetch if you throw a plastic lid in the bathtub. He loves playing in the tub (without water). He takes his toys to the bathtub and chases them around in the tub. It's so cute.

[@nitziamartin-vazquez4420]

My 3 year old baby, Sebastian (Maine Coon) is a hoot. He's very sweet and smart. He loves to play with water except when it's time for his bath. He puts on a temper tantrum when I kiss my husband goodnight, it's hilarious to watch him argue with "dad" and when he's done, he flops and grabs my foot, hugs it and go to sleep. I love him very much.

[@anarchy6304]

i have a maine coon mix, he’s not quite as big as some but he’s pretty big, he’s also got more rounded ears since he’s a mix but he definitely has the loving “gentle giant” personality that maine coons are known for

[@nancyroberson9312]

Well I can say to everyone out there that he is definitely one of the smartest cats I have ever seen and I love that she has the ability to be the best cat anyone could have. What a great deal in this life. ❤

[@Roadghost88]

Mine was male. Got very dominant at 8 months so I had him fixed. Used to eat rabbits, squirrels and chipmunks. Definitely like sleeping in high places. Definitely did not like sleeping in lap for long. Often followed me around outside. Loudest meow of any cat I ever had. Could hear the sound of my car coming and would run home to meet me. Extremely gentle cat, and that's a good thing because he had really big claws and was very strong. I might get another some day.

[@leonid4468]

Mine, Archimedes--Archie for short--falls asleep on my chest regularly, while laying his head on my chin. Or behind me in my office chair. Either way, he LOVES having his tummy petted!

[@cindyblackman2275]

I've had Maine Coons all my life. One I have now is pure black. 2 were pure white. My other 2 are are mackerels. 1 I had lived to be almost 23 yrs old. So far I've had 10 of them. All were wonderful sweet loving, intelligent beauties.

[@NerwenSeregon]

Our Maine Coon Star fits all of these with the exception of one. She is a lap cat. Will not let you pick her up but the second you sit, she hops right on up and passes out. Best blanket ever she is.

[@gracemainecoon3691]

Oh, you are so lucky!

[@raycope2086]

Beautiful cat sweetie. I enjoyed your video very much too. I wish you rainbows.

[@sweettrubble4635]

I would love a Maine Coon. I have a Siberian/Calico mix. He is also pretty large, and his fur is as soft as cotton. He is the sweetest cat.

[@bigtimetorifan]

She’s beautiful!! I have one too! she is 13 this year, her name is Mia and she plays like she’s a two-year-old LOL

[@lindasamul9058]

I had to put my Augie down 5 weeks after he turned 13, but he still thought he was a kitten...playful and curious as ever, right up to the end! Been two years and still miss him terribly! 😿

[@jillfoster2432]

Does not matter what variety they are if you love them they will love you back

[@wesleytownsend8214]

Such a fantastic piece of content! What absolutely stunning creatures these felines are. I have never had the pleasure for being the human servant for this breed but as an old crazy cat man, I recognize that this is a fantastic breed. Much thanks for this. I wish all the best to you and yours!

[@sam-elisan1083]

My Maine Coon's personality if very, VERY similar to yours. The only difference is mine LOVES belly rubs and goes limb when we pet her, she shows her belly just for us to rub it. She is also a lap cat, she likes to sleep with me on my bed and lay on me or lay beside me with her head rested on my arm, she is such a person... I love my Coco ☺

[@MHow-qc3ns]

What a beautiful cat! I hope she lives many more years, healthy and happy with you and your family.

[@MxSae]

Omg my Maine coon is almost the same as yours!! The only difference is, he doesn’t hunt or bring things to us/a bed and he can meow. Also he sits in laps but only sometimes. He doesn’t do it often, but when he does it’s only when we’re sitting in a rocking chair. Also we don’t have any high places in our house besides the attic, and he does go in their but usually only at night. I bet if we had high places though he probably would. 😊❤️

[@coffeeandcloaks9807]

My father when he was younger had a Maine Coon cat that like to jump out the window during the school week. For the Cat knew 2 things the garage door was always open, and and bang bang bang form jumping around on the open door woke up my father. From what I've been told that the cat did not like my father's alarm clock. So it would bounce on the garage door to wake him up first.

[@Sunflowerowo]

This video is like mostly the opposite of my cat. In our house, we don’t call her “Spawn of Satan” for nothing! 😂

[@ericbowsher6227]

Great name. I had one named, "Lucifer" once. Great cat but don't rub his tummy else get shredded.

[@akbychoice]

Our Maine coon is a big hunter, so much so that he caught a muskrat and carried it over a 6’ chain link fence and brought it into the house through the doggy door. He often brings in birds, shrews and voles.

[@micheleobrien1516]

Beautiful cat! That tail is amazing!😻💞

[@Akasha8667]

My Maine Coon is the sweetest and clingiest cat I've ever seen. You can't sit anywhere (not even the toilet) without him jumping up on your lap for snuggles lol. And if you're in the bath he is too

[@That_AMC_Guy]

Good Climbers, Terrible jumpers - my walls can attest to that. Quite the opposite from my dealer departed Korat.... he could jump 6 feet straight up, but couldn't climb a tree to save his life.

[@dawnlapka2433]

That is a great video of the Maine Coone. I had a service cat, Callie, all these things you say are true. I have my Callie to someone who needed her more. I pray when the time is right, I will be able to find a service dog, because of balance control, and excruciating migraines. I live alone, right now, without my boyfriend. Maybe someday we will be able to get married, but I have to go to school first. Praying 🙏

[@MuhammadSafdar-qe7rq]

Very beautiful kata and very beautiful colour very happy 🐈

[@avah8992]

I have a small female kitten MC mix who is only around 2 months she loves belly rubs when she is tired but don’t even try when she is playful. She is still very cute and is the lazy and playful type.

[@maryanniaeck6031]

I had a orange Maine Coon he was like a dog. Loved to chase things play with the dog, but he did love water!

[@lavenderflwr]

Gorgeous and adorable cat😻

[@brennakokkinis2616]

Hi! Beautiful kitty. Do you remember where you got your shelves and scratch post setup? It's perfect!

[@MizCherry]

Grace I really like your cat personality it's fantastic
