[@kevinwithers3781]

I had a MC who lived to be 19. Buz was a big grey cat and incredibly smart. One summer day my wife and I were arguing about her spending habits. I told her that it's getting to the point where we won't have enough money left for food. Little did we know that Buz was listening. A few hours later I walked into the living room and there, on the floor in the center of the room, was a blister pack of hot dogs. I was astonished and almost reduced to tears. Buz must have exited the back door, climbed over the 6' wood fence in the back yard, stolen some poor guy's pack of hot dogs while he was in the house waiting for the grill to heat up, climbed back over the 6' wood fence while carrying the hot dogs, walked into the living room and gently placed them in the middle of the floor. They were in perfect condition with no bite marks. It was his contribution to the family. I'll love that cat forever.

[@justineholliday1581]

I'm definitely my cats owner and it knows it. But I prefer the term companion, friend, or family. Why do people still spout that nonsense that cats are the dominate ones in the relationship dynamic. What type of doormat would someone need to be to let their cats dominate them? Do you feed your cat? Do you shelter your cat? Do you offer protection for your cat? Do you provide special medical aid by vet visits if needed for it's well being? in nature the one that meets these needs in a pack or family is the leader or dominate member and thus all cat owners are the dominate ones.. good cats know this and mind their place.

[@marijanewernsman6134]

Friends were amazed by our Maine Coon. Smartest cat I ever saw. He must have had a huge vocabulary because he would fetch objects on command. He was also the only cat I ever heard of who would return home when we called him, no matter where he was in the neighborhood. Did not drink water by lapping but scooped it up with his paw. Extremely clean and wonderfully loving. I’m a dog lover, but this MC changed my mind about cats. (He also got along extremely well with our older dachshund. The cat was so big the dachshund could walk underneath him.)

Best pets ever. I lost mine in 2018. I had him for 17 years. The best 17 years of my life. We've been through a lot together. Traveling throughout the country. Taking a job in a different state. And, a few relationships. I still think about him and smile as well as dream about him. I can't think of a better companion than a Maine Coon cat.

[@The_Laser_Channel]

we adopted a Maine Coone cat from our local shelter. We do believe he was abandoned as a kitten and maybe he was just "found" and brought to the shelter due to his personality. He was very aggressive, did NOT want to be touched at all. Now that we've had him for a few years, he's calmed down a LOT. He don't like tummy rubs, but he does love to cuddle in bed. This is the first time i've ever owned a Maine Coone and wasn't aware of how big they got, but I wouldn't trade my Maine Coone kitty for anything...despite him being a big cat, he's still my baby kitten :)

[@lanarey2809]

Just a piece of advice cats generally don't like tummy rubs, that's a very sensitive area for them. There are exceptions of course but most cats aren't into that. I'm glad your cat has found a loving home with you.

[@ragnhildmd5063]

@@lanarey2809 by experience the only cats that might like to have their belly rubbed is the females, but only if they truly trust you. Mine, for instance loves having her belly rubbed and will often nag until I pet her there. However if I do the same on a ramdom cat that doesn't know me, my arm will definetily be mauled.

[@Herodotus3]

Cats as a rule do not like belly rubs. Being on their backs leaves them vulnerable and though they are predators they are not at the top of the food chain. Only one of our three part Maines likes her belly rubbed. She is a littlle piggy for love. Even food doesn't matter in comparison.

[@CAoffRoading]

I feel like it depends on the cat. Most of the cats we've had through my life have enjoyed having their belly rubbed. But we have gotten them all as kittens and they grew up with constant contact and love as a result being very devoted and affectionate as adults. My current cat was and abandoned stray who I later learned was a Bombay. She turned out to be extremely cuddly and affectionate. Loves to be held and rubbed all over. Most especially at the root of her tail. Is accustomed to being held belly up like a newborn human as that's the easiest way to hold her without her getting stuck to our clothing. For whatever reason the poor girl is not able to fully retract her claws.

[@A50S2D]

Exactly I knew that immediately. I've own both a female & male Maine Coon cat. The male was 27 LBs at three. Sadly he passed away due to cancer I guess at almost 11 years old. But he and his grandfather were both huge. Zeus was 27 LBs and grand champion grandfather Big Mac was 32 lbs. They looked like twins but a few lbs lighter.

[@myXmasOldies]

My Maine Coone was definitely my cat and not my husband's nor my son's. He had and attitude and treated the cat sitter as his servant. He would walk to her house and knock on her door when he was hungry. He would also swat to others from time to time just to remind others who was boss. He would sleep on my husband's side of the bed and would not move until physically moved somewhere else. I often wondered if my cat was jealous of my husband. He was a very smart cat and I miss him since his passing.

Dear cat lovers: I have the most beautiful orange tabby cat. His little paws look like he has white mittens on his front paws, and white booties on his back paws, with a white spot on his nose, and a white chest and tummy. I found him at a wonderful no kill shelter. This adorable little cat is all mine...he socializes with my sons, buy he is glued to me. He is with me all day long, right at my side. He is so precious to me that my sons ask me what am I going to do when Peanut dies...I have no answer. We have had alot of pets, with 6 sons, they always brought some neglected little animal for me to fix up.(I'm a registered nurse) but my Peanut is different. He acts like he really knows what I say to him. I'm a young widow, 5 of my sons are in the armed forces, and the youngest is at home. May God bless each of you wonderful pet owners, and your pets, too, of course. And, yes, I really don't know what I will do without him.I know you people understand me. And I'm so sorry about your dearly beloved cat passing. May your heart find comfort.

Yes they are. But never forget, that they are top predators. A grown Maine Coon, that has a bad day can easily bite off your finger, and it won’t even bother him much. They don’t do that, but they could. When handling a big boy - or a girl with an attitude, one should never forget that.

When we first got her, she was out of control, almost like a wild animal, but got along with the cat we already had (whom was a very tiny cat, and much older, but he just wanted a friend) as the years went by, she got HUGE!!! But the little cat still holds his own when playing and chasing. She can be so sweet and caring, but turn on a dime. I chalk that up to be being separated so early in life. They're both still alive and doing well, just not physically in my life anymore. But I'm still sent photos of them regularly.

[@ariellegenesisfabro7475]

give me one bro pls. im from philippines 😅

[@missrobingood]

Were your imported cats from Russian shelters or rescue groups?

[@-AmyRuth-]

@@missrobingood who cares if (s)he adapoted the cats or bought 'em? All that matters when someone has a pet is to take care of it and never abandon it. It doesn't matter if the pet is taken from a shelter or bought from an authorized breeder.

[@missrobingood]

@@-AmyRuth- you do apparently. I simply stated my opinion to which we are all entitled to.

[@missrobingood]

@@-AmyRuth- The cats( or any animal) that await euthanasia in the shelters are the ones who care..

[@lsdarius8702]

Absolutely gorgeous cat

[@johnwhite8535]

I had a Maine Coon Cat that lived to 21. They have a wonderful disposition.

[@handg0re63]

Thank you !! I'm getting one myself so this was helpful

[@D4rthridiculous]

I love all these fluffies

[@toxicwqste1645]

We adopted a small sick kitten from the shelter, and he turned out to be a strong boi tabby/maincoon mix.

[@lalalalunarrrrr5016]

I rescued mine from living in a drain in my apartment complex. Stella is absolutely stunning. I also have a cat, Luna, that my brother and I adopted together. She is incredibly territorial and mean. She’s coming along ever so slightly. However, Stella just wants Luna to love her. Stella is beyond cuddly and sweet, loves sleeping on my chest. She’s so tiny, from being abandoned and not knowing how to hunt for food without her mother. She is currently being nursed back to properly. I love my darling little rescue kitten ♥️

[@Elizabeth-fu6rm]

The cat wearing the tie 😭😭😍❤️❤️❤️

[@kieren3601]

I have a 3 year old Maine coon as a therapy pet. They are VERY playful.

[@Foo007]

Do they all come with a necktie or is that a subset of the species?

[@Park_Place]

Subset. Some come with a vest and white dress shirt

[@honeyv540]

My twin babies I believe are Maine Coone mix. I fostered them as 4 week kittens and ended up keeping them. They don't mind water, chatter and meow a lot and thick soft fur and large fluffy tail. They grew so big after 1 year! So sweet and loving.

[@ManofCulture]

Perfect combo of Thicc and fluffy.

[@ericpettyfishing]

I have a cream tabby Coon. He is a monster. So nice and cuddly and always nice to guests that come over. They really are a great cat breed. I'd reccomend one to anyone who knows the grooming and feeding regiment. Really the best cat I have ever had.

[@JK-bl2sg]

I knew a coon cat that lived to be 28 or 29. I cant remember. The cat was a farm stud, ruling over many other cats, and the only one allowed in the house.

[@Areekurou]

Really want to get a Maine coon someday! Beautiful animals!

[@krisaaron5771]

Our beloved Maine Coon (Kaboodles) came to us as a "road cat" -- we rescued him on the coldest night of the year after a neighbor found him in their yard. He was about a year old, and lived with us for the next 13 years until he died of heart failure at 14. About 30% of have a genetic mutation that makes it likely that they will develop hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - thickening of the muscle walls of the - and, in time, this condition leads to failure and/or other complications. (www.ufaw.org.uk/cats/maine-coon-hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy) Boo was my best and dearest friend. When I was down he'd bring me a chipmunk (alive and uninjured) and drop in in front of me with a look that said "Here, have fun!" He loved chasing them and was sure I would, too. Boo ran the entire household and supervised all the other cats. He loved riding in the car and went on vacations with us. He could tell time and never failed to wake me at 7 am for breakfast. If we dared shut him out of the bedroom he'd sit at the door and howl mournfully until we gave up and let him in (yes, we spoiled him rotten). If you love cats and have the chance to share your life with a Maine Coon, you are truly fortunate! Just be aware that they can have health issues and make sure your vet is up to date on treatments and medication.

My Maine coon Toni was the best little creature ever. She had quite the personality. Happy to have had her for the 10 years we had her

[@manuelangelajoy]

My maine coon cat just died and now i'm watching this. 😢

[@EXTIQUE]

I'm 51,,feel like I lost my son or daughter. and I'll never find a replacement for Zeus either. so I can honestly feel your pain honey. 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭 I really mean it when I say my heart goes out to you.

[@toby6275]

Angela Manuel same..

[@butterflynessie8921]

Mine runaway a few months ago :(

[@debbiecunningham970]

Mine died of Renal/kidney disease at 6 years old this December 2020😭😞😭Please everyone!!! Talk to your Vets about this terrible illness. I don't know if it is an illness that is related to Maine Coon cats or not but what I read leads me to believe that catching it early can lead to a longer life with special diet and care from a Veterinarian. Our vet was amazing and did everything they could to help him. Leo was just the best and every story of how absolutely awesome they are makes me miss him so much. My hubby says he got into some brake fluid or something... but I'm not sure. In any case, they are just the best pets. Leo even let my 2 year old granddaughter give him a kiss on his back. He did get to know her a bit, hanging around while watching her play and before I knew it he was down where she could pet him and see him up close. He was SO good with her❤️ l love you forever Leo kitty

[@adrianelias2365]

Just buy another.

[@BalmoraBabe]

Incredible kitties, the ones I've experienced have all been incredible

[@mushu4689]

My baby is a runt but he’s still twice the size of my other cat❤️❤️

[@Theworldisyouroyster156]

If you ever have the opportunity to get one, do it! I’ve owned cats my entire life. I was given one as a kitten and he is 10 now. They are very special. So social, sweet and loving. He loves to eat and eats almost anything I give him. He loves pulling fish out of our lake and eating them whole. And he loves getting high on catnip. He is so fluffy with the biggest tail anyone has ever seen. You can hold him anyway you want too. So as you can see I love my Maine Coon Cholly Boy. ❤️

[@trippplefive]

oh lawd he comin'

[@user-hb6tv8yt9d]

In awe of the size of that lad. Absolute unit.

[@jeffrichards5106]

Beautiful, never heard of this breed. Thanks for sharing.

[@PsIloveu]

Can you do one on nebelung’s please? Absolutely beautiful and intelligent cats.

[@jimb9369]

My MC, Short Round, was a wonderful animal. Huge, affectionate, obedient, amazing. Loosing him and his sister was too much for me. I will never get another animal. The loss is just too much.

[@kathypluger3550]

If it was a recent loss, wait awhile...you'll find that you miss having them around. I know I did. No I'm getting 2 MC kittens this week. Yay!! Can't wait.... You will know when you're ready. Take care.
