Maine Coon vs. Normal Cat: The SHOCKING Differences

[@ThePurringJournal]

What do you think is most shocking about the Maine Coon? 🐈

[@petarivailov-vi4tk]

They're giants🌊

[@CrispBaker]

How they shaved a particularly large one and it became famous character actor Ron Perlman

[@rwing27nuke]

@ThePurringJournal love all your videos. Amazing channel Any chance we can get some Norwegian Forest Cat love?

[@annlavine3576]

i got one for free Poor guy was left alone in a apartment complex He lived to be 20

[@tb-ys6sl]

@@annlavine3576 nice story bro

[@marinal.]

wow

[@dathorndike4908]

i have a Norwegian Forest Cat and his coat has two layers like all the cold weather breeds. It is really fascinating. The undercoat has a texture like pure cotton

[@Mama-Ames]

Bless you for mentioning adoption. There are so many, TOO MANY beautiful, innocent kitty angels living in shelters, each of them truly worthy of a loving forever home.💗X💗O💗

[@janb92]

My brother just got a free Maine Coon because his friend found 2 kittens not realizing what breed they might be. He is literally the cutest kitten I’ve ever seen and I work as an animal nurse. He looks like a Pixar character, he’s so adorable.

[@leekelly9639]

I’m getting a Maine Coon Kitten in August after my beloved cat sadly died, I hope the new kitten will give me as many years of love than my cat did..

[@nemesis7774]

So, cat hardware but a bit of dog software ?

[@sonnyboy7spurs]

@@nemesis7774 yes I have one and they are like dogs

[@ameliawarfield5637]

Wow, the Maine Coon Cat likes the water.😮

[@Nannerchan]

I have two of them and one that I adopted from the shelter. They are the best. As is a Ragdoll.

[@Pythonaria]

What I'd like to know is how much cat food a Maine Coon would eat in a day.

[@kirara2516]

I usually fed mine twice a day. One can in the morning and one at night with some treat snacks throughout the day.

[@evelyntodd9946]

I feed a part Maine Coon the same as my other cat. Once they are full grown the two are the same amount.

[@Pythonaria]

@@evelyntodd9946 I did wonder. I've had the privilege of a half-Maine Coon "guest" overnight when I used to help with rescue. Turned out his owners were on holiday and neighbours were feeding him (he was an indoor cat). He escaped, followed a lady home who had two Maine Coons who were not impressed by this newcomer. I collected him and took him home overnight until his owners could be contacted as he was microchipped. He was huge but what a laid-back, gentle cat he was. He was reunited next day to very relieved carers. I took a photograph of him. My own cats weren't bothered by him at all. Lovely cat.

[@Superstuff]

Love Maine Coons but your opening statement about size is not correct, you stated they get up to 20 lbs, I’ve had 2 males, my first reached 22 lbs and my current one is just over 26 lbs and almost done growing. They reach full size and stop growing after 4-5 years old, he’s almost 4 years.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

I was showing my Sphynx cats at a show, and there was the biggest Maine Coon neuter there that I had ever seen. He was a gorgeous brown classic tabby. I started talking with his owner, and found out that he was 18 inches at the shoulder, 40 inches long, and weighed nearly 30 pounds. He was only 2 years old. My male Sphynx weighed 16 pounds, and was big himself, but he looked like a little kitten next to this big boy. Both were grand champions. They had a picture taken together by the show photographer, which I have a copy of. This was back in the mid 90s. (Jan Griffiths).

[@HavocHerseim]

mine is a but over 30lbs. he's massive

[@terfalicious]

Adoption is the best way to go. Get 2 kitties, so they can keep each other company!

[@huskiesgo5944]

What did I adopt from the shelter??? Morris is a 30" long 20lb tabby with a cranky disposition.

[@cheery-hex]

lmao

[@stevekershaw7994]

The very rare Cranky Coon cat.

[@Rezkeshdadesh]

People pay money for cats? All the cats I've ever had were free

[@peoplehavetherights]

They weren't made to enjoy different environments and are much larger, yet friendly. And not as expensive as other breeds.

[@cheery-hex]

big $$. we usually spend up to $500 for even mixed breeds but some cost $1500-$3000 on average. ones withe breed papers are more

[@priyap7041]

Yeah, my cat just walked into my friend's house...and then she was our cat.

[@Slinkyminky1]

Totally. Who buys a cat. It’s gross. Get to a shelter

[@sayitlikeitis8759]

I had a Maine Coon for a short while, he was a big fluffy beauty but my tortie, who was a fraction of his size, made his life a living hell. I had to rehome him.

[@roberthubbard3302]

What a beautiful cat!

[@Hundo_Mo]

We found a Maine Coon at a shelter. A Gentle Ginger Giant. The best of both worlds. A sweet cat who was picked off the streets who gets a home and a shelter fulfills a kitty’s wish to find their forever home.

[@xt6wagon]

My first one would take himself on walks. Like someone called because he was a couple miles away.

[@sherrypettit5552]

I love all cats

[@tigger06]

The Maine Coon IS a normal cat

[@megnotes7908]

“Typical” would have been better than “normal,” I think.

[@Larzang]

I prefer "Long-Tailed American House Lynx" for their species moniker.

[@Glorious_Yell0w]

I have two tuxedos and one of em is a big boy and he does high five, lay day down, foot, comes on command and even does nice paw to get a cat candy. His brother older and smarter just looks at his younger brother and goes "u idiot the hoooman is the slave u dont have to do tricks to get what u want". Both cats sleep in the bed every night with me . I so fucking love my cats. I will say they are so much better then dogs.

[@EstellaHerrera-f2c]

I really love cats and I would love to have a Maine Coon one day ❤

[@tabbynomnom]

Good stuff. Very interesting! 6:56

[@Leedleleedlelee123]

Ain't no way these cats are just 11 inches shorter than me. Wow.

[@janetandrews1306]

Interesting 😊

[@lauraadacerri1311]

È sicuramente molto bello e interessante... Cerchiamo però di adottare salvando cosi tanti animali

[@BallymurphyBabe]

[@gamingwarlord9184]

It can be hard to rescue one from a shelter because they are so popular

[@brianpalay2]

[@scottdean2199]

I would love a Maine Coon, but even watching the brush go through its coat made my eyes itch. Allergies suck!

[@HavocHerseim]

up to 20lbs? ah... might want to check facts. my biggest male is a bit over 30lbs and he's not fat.

[@MrLongFeiUZB]

I have one this cat and she is just 3month

[@MichaelLeeOne]

You missed the facial features like the prominent chin.

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

"Normal Cat".......??? 🤔 I will ask my Cat, George, who is 9 years, black fur, if he is "normal".....likely get "the look", licked fingers, some sleep time, or he will walk away and return.....normal-??

Maine Coons are from Maine? That's not exactly artic...I'm from Canada.

No such thing as evolution, GOD CREATED THEM THE WAY HE LIKED THEM.

[@megnotes7908]

Of course God created everything, and exceedingly well, too. He made some of His creatures very adaptable, which was smart, so they wouldn’t become extinct. Thanks God for cats - I love ‘em!

[@Toaster6008]

Nope, every animal comes from evolution/breeding

[@VoidCraftGaming]

Praise the Lord God! :D

[@BPJD2004]

@@Toaster6008Every animal we have TODAY is the result of selective breeding and a lot of bloodlines dying out. The animals of today are very, very different from the original kinds we started out with. If you’d like more information, I strongly recommend the Answers in Genesis library for books and documents on animal kinds and how the world has changed from when it was Created 6000 years ago.

[@69meplease100]

@dont4143 why not.....BOTH

[@icecreamtruckog3667]

Well that is wrong, large animals have more skin surface and loose heat faster. So cold environment and large is total BS. All animals that evolve in the cold are short and thick not long and skinny.

[@angelacrabtree2847]

@@icecreamtruckog3667 No. Larger warm blooded animals lose less heat. This is because they have more mass per inch of skin. They also tend to have shorter limbs. It isn't about total skin surface But the ratio of skin surface to body mass. Smaller animals have more skin in relationship to the mass of their skin. This is why we had magafauna like wooly mammoths during the last glacial period with the largest of the megafauna living in Northern areas. Conversely, Cold blooded animals do get Smaller in cols climates because they gain heat threw their skin. The more skin in relation to mass they have the faster they warm up. This is why the bigger reptiles are from hotter climates.
