Rocky is a two year old red and white Maine Coon. Whose nickname is the Red Rhino. He and Sasha have different moms but are from the same father.  Comments: Two Beauties! Thanks for sharing them! Beautiful The stars of the show Simba Simba is a 3-year-old Maine coon who can open cupboards and closet doors with a few flicks of his tufted paws. He enjoys wrestling with my other cat, chasing shadows, and playing with feathers. He seems to have a fascination with green toys, too. Comments: Simba From Above Beautiful Beautiful cat! Kiki
Kiki Enjoying The Outdoors Kiki is about 9 months old. We found her as a stray and took her home with us. She enjoys watching Mom do the dishes. Her favorite toy is a hackie sack and a pink heart pillow. She follows you everywhere you go and if you're trying to read a book she plunks herself right there. That is her only flaw. Besides that, she gets lots of love and attention. Comments: Pretty Kiki Thanks for sharing her! Hi Kiki!  Kiki @ Christmas TimeThis is Kiki in a Santa hat. We all know that she really isn't enjoying this but we were able to grab a quick snapshot. Isn't she cute? Comments: Ho Ho Ho! Love it Little Leo Introducing our new cat Leo. Never had a Maine Coon before and despite only getting him on Saturday I am completely amazed by the breed. He has settled in so quickly and is already displaying those famous Maine Coon traits. He is totally awesome and he has completely won us all over. Comments: Gorgeous! Leo is just perfect! Love the big fluffy ears. You must be in love. Thank you so much for sharing him with us, he really is stunning! ~Carrie Handsome! Sweetie Leo Miller The Cat
Miller Roasting by an Open Fire
Miller is our 5 year old main coon mix. He is the most personable, smart and hilarious cat ever. Even non-cat people love Miller! He's definitely 'The Godfather' of the house and we do what he wants; as it should be. Comments: Merry Miller! Thanks for sharing him, he's quite a cat! Thank you Carrie Tulu Tulu with her toy feather :) I rescued Tulu off the street, in below zero weather. The poor thing was dropped off by someone who was ignorant. You could tell she was domesticated, she came right to you. She was very hungry and cold. As soon as I put her in my car, she wanted to lay on my lap to get warm. After taking her home, I realized she was deaf when I went to vacuum, and also suffered a leg/paw injury. I also noticed she had a neurological problem, she was having difficulty in gaining balance, and was walking in circles terribly. After taking her to the vet, she was diagnosed with toxoplasmosis and didn't have long to live. I gave her a lot of TLC, and the rest is history! She was definitely worth it... she's an awesome "coon cat"! Comments: Beautiful Tulu She was so lucky to have been adopted by you, in her time of need. You were just the angel she needed. This is a really nice picture of her. Thanks for sharing your beautiful girl. Nice story! Hello all... This is Aries just being himself lol what's up Well my Coon's name is Aries he is a 3year old male, I find he is very vocal mainly in the morning or when my son isn't home, and I also love the fact I can share with all of you that well I will tell you the story: Well a few days ago my other cat 'bonehead' was eating her food when a piece had got stuck so she started to choke on it. Well Aries kept running in and meowing at me like a dog barking and then he run back to bonehead well when I finally realized something was wrong I got up only to witness Aries jumped on her back and popped out the piece of food that was stuck! This showed me my Maine Coon Aries is more than just that, he is Bonehead's hero, I find Coon cats to be very intelligent than we realize and I also find them to be very very affectionate and playful. I also want to say that since I have had my Coon I feel that my other cat which is a cabbit lol now has a brother to love as they show each other everyday and she has accepted him whole paws wide open well not to sure what else to tell you about Aries at this time. Comments: Wow, Wow, Wow! What else can I say but WOW!!! Simply amazing. They are super smart cats, and this just proves it. I wonder how many things we miss when we're not home? Thanks so much for sharing this awesome story! I remember when you first got Aries. I'm so happy to hear how happy he is. Sound like your cats definitely have "the good life!" ~Carrie 2 cool!  Tiesto-KittyShe has the "M" on her forehead...she has the fur coming out of the pads of her paws....she is vocal...so sweet...so loving. I bought her from a pet store which makes me believe she was a product of a kitty mill. She has been a treasure in my life since the day i brought her home. Comments: Beautiful cat! Patrick
Patrick sleeping when he was kitten
I got my dear loveable Patrick from our local shelter he is a wonderful cat! He loves to play fetch and lounge around the house. I've watched him grow from a skinny little kitten to the big majestic cat he is today. He can be a lover or a loner depending on his mood. Ms Sybil
Ms Sybil lounging on the couch
Sybil was a shelter cat. They called her Susie, but I knew right away that was much too bland for her. I had a giant male cat and a dog at home, so I tried to introduce her gently. She adapted pretty well and seemed rather submissive till one of the "boys" ticked her off and then she became a little tiger! She certainly held her own with a 65 pound dog and her 17 pound brother cat. She could go from shy to tiger in nothing flat,then back to cuddly the next second....thus the name Sybil...many personalities for the little princess. She is a dainty 12 pounds but looks incredibly tiny next to her big "brother". She prefers to be called Ms Sybil and to be stroked and adored. She's a sweet little girl who doesn't take any guff from her "brothers". She's beautiful and she knows it. She loves to have her curly belly rubbed and will grab your hand if you stop too soon. I tell her daily that she's my beautiful girl and she gives me kitty kisses in return. Cashew
Cashew is just over 1yr old, he was 3wks old when I got him he was a stray. I thought his fur was just baby hair and would change as he grew. Boy was I wrong. He got BIG and fast. He is the now the middle cat of 3. I had Peanut (female tom cat) and 2yrs after her I got Cashew (Maine Coon). He is so lovable and loves to talk. He loves to lay in the bathtub and play in the toilet. He sleeps with me, well follows me anywhere I go in the house. I was offered a another kitten and I didn't know if Cashew would take to another male in the house since he has such a dominant personality. To my surprise he let the kitten try to feed from him, cleans him, plays with him, they sleep together. I mean they are really inseparable. Since I already had Peanut and Cashew, the new kitten I named Macadamia. So I literally have a house of nuts. Cashew definitely steals the show though. I included a picture of Cashew (gray & white) sleeping with Macadamia. Comments: Adorable... Our 9 Month Old Baby Boy
Jasper Daniels 1st Trick Jasper was a rescue cat which we had the great fortune of adopting. When he came to us he was neglected and after months of love and lots and lot of food he has become the most gentle, attention seeking but quietly independent who sits outside of our bedroom to keep watch. He is performing his 1st party trick of 'kiss kiss' where he stands up on hid hindquarters (like rugby player sized thighs) grabs your hand and pulls it down to give you an assertive headbutt/affectionate kiss (depending on your interpretation). Comments: Cool Trick! He's very handsome, too! Thanks for sharing him :) Where's Mom? Where's mom? I have never had a pet cat of my own, even though I grew up on a farm. My friend, Elfrieda, started a community shelter in Powell, WY and while visiting her recently, I decided to go see what she did every morning. I couldn't believe her dedication to animals and how hard she worked! This cute kitten wanted out of his cage and I decided there might never be a perfect time to adopt an animal, so I just did it. He's easy to have around and a joy! Comments: Lucky for Kitty & Lucky for you!! Robert - Costa Rica His name is Robert, he is 8 years old. Very lazy & loves water. He is always with me while I'm taking a shower.I just love him with all my heart!!!! Comments: Big Robert Great cat Gorgeous Mi bebito bikingo Robert my baby I love him very much!!! Tessie Tessie is a five month old kitten, who is probably part Maine Coon. She can't be full, though, because her brother is all black with a white chest. Comments: Little Tessie As for her brothers markings, Maine Coons can be "Tuxedo Cats" as they're called! Maine Coons can actually come in just about any color other than Siamese-type pointed colors. Even solids are possible. Thanks for sharing her, and update us as she grows, too! She's beautiful-- What a cutie pie! Snuggle bun Jimmie
We adopted Jimmie from Chicagoland Animal Rescue at our local PetSmart. He and four siblings were brought in after living in foster homes until they were ready for adoption. He was just 5 months old when we brought him home. Solid black, with the biggest eyes I've ever seen, and an enormous fluffy tail, he was just the most affectionate, sweet little kitten. As he grew, his color changed from solid black; it was evident he was getting more and more of a soft gray undercoat. And he has the same smokey gray color on the back of his hind legs. Curious about his features, I began researching on the internet and am now convinced he's most definitely a Black Smoke Maine Coon. He displays many of the traits I've been reading about. He will leap into my lap when I'm in my favorite chair, and immediately settle in to snuggle and purr. He loves to paw and splash his drinking water which is in a large container with a tray underneath. He makes those funny chirping noises and also a noise that sounds like a chimp. And he plays fetch when we toss one of his toys across the room. He is the most loving and entertaining cat - we definitely picked a winner. 12/10 Update: (note from editor) Comments: PaPi, our big boy. Well he is very lovable,playful,loves to sleep in beds. always follow me around, he meets me and the kids at the door everyday. He is not shy, he is now 1yr.old loves to look out the window at the playground and watch the kids play. We love PaPi! "Mister" FluffyBy: Kimberly Collins in Jacksonville NC US
Fluffy, better known as Mister, Fluffy Muffin, Daddy Cat, Sweetie Pie or whatever I decide to call him at that moment came into my life right on time and not one moment too soon. I would take 1 million dollars cash for him at this moment. He is the bestest cat in the world, my friend and my baby boy, always there to comfort me. He is playful and sincere not to mention faithful and very vocal. I used to give in and let him out to play under supervision but since I have moved and my home is now closer to the highway, I do not dare let him out--For a while there I'd take him out on a leash to smell around but over the last couple weeks he has adapted well to just the sun room windows. He has a new scratching post that for the first few weeks he would not touch, it almost seemed he was waiting to see if it was really his and would not touch it till he knew for sure that it was, now he goes to it at least 5 times a day and just plays to his hearts content. He's so cute pouncing his toys and feathers and gives me hours of entertainment. He was around 4 years old when I got him 5 years ago, now I think he is around 9 years old--I can kinda tell by his teeth. He does love to see company come and is very friendly to all but at the end of the day it is his maw-maw (me) he wants. Comments: Thanks for sharing Mister Fluffy with us! ~Carrie Thanks Carrie Sophisticated Gwendolyn  I went to the Orlando SPCA in search of a feline friend. I had always had cats growing up and as a young adult, did not have a cat to share my home with me. My mother was excited by the idea and decided to go with me. I walked around the cat room at the SPCA peering into numerous cages to see if I could find my "that's the one for me" friend. Many cats rubbed up against the bars and pawed at my fingers, but when I approached Gwendolyn's cage, all I could see were two big black eyes peering at me from the corner. She was terrified and come to find out was a stray. It was her second day at the shelter and she was not friendly at all. I had to get some assistance to get her out, thinking she would claw me to death. The woman could not get her, so I very hesitantly tried. To my surprise, she let me take her out and she gripped on to me for her life. No claws, no biting, just a very scared kitty that didnt know what was going on. I have had her for a year now and she has blossomed into a beautiful young lady. I have also acquired a persian mix from a sole rescuer. They have become great friends! Not sure if Gwen is a maine coon, mix, or whatever, but she sure has that wild, wispy fur and coon like intelligence! Comments: Did you send a photo, too? If so, it didn't come through. Feel free to send one anytime & I'll add it to this page! Thanks for sharing you wonderful rescue story. I'm glad you found each other, You hit the jackpot! I live in Orlando too and once adopted a tortiecalico (tortie on top, calico on the bottom) from the SPCA. Unfortunately, she had a low tolerance for other cats, so we started calling her Meouch the Grouch (Meouch is Micmac for "cat"). A Sleeping Moose
Loves to sleep Moose is an average size Maine Coon cat that loves to play and sleep. He is a great hunter but is scared of anything that he is not hunting. He is very sweet to the kids always playing with him but does not let them hold him. All and all he is a great cat that I spoil way too much. Comments: Thanks for sharing him! Tuxedo Maine Coon - Scratchie
Forget the computer, focus on ME!
This is my Tuxedo Maine Coon, Scratchie, who we adopted from a no-kill shelter 2 yrs. ago. He is now 4 yrs. old and rules the house! He was already named when we adopted him and we think it's due to his weird habit of briskly sliding his paws back and forth on linoleum (no claws) like he's on a treadmill - he does this when he is really happy. Easy to slide those big paws with those "slippers" he's got! Very weird but cracks us up every time. He was apparently so matted they had to shave him but he has regained all his fur. This is a pic taken last week and does not yet show his full winter coat. I will take a full pic of him in a couple of months and send it in. Babs Comments: He's just like my Alice, right up in front of the computer screen! I've resorted to making her a bed right next to the monitor! Yes please do send in a photo of Scratchie in his winter coat. I'm sure he's impressive! Thanks for sharing him! Lazy day(Coventry, UK)  Max (short for the more pretentious Maximus) is a great boy! He's almost 8 years old now and has traveled with me from the US to the UK where we live now. You'd never know to look at him now that he was the scrawny & sickly runt of the litter. He's got the best personality & is very loving. Comments: Handsome Max by: Anonymous Beautiful boy, wish we lived close enough to introduce our cats to each other. Joann & Bubba Lazy... by: Maine Coon Cat Nation Thanks for sharing Max! He is a very handsome boy. I love his white markings. You're right, he doesn't look like he could have been a little runt! Nice photo, too. I like the angle and the lighting. Misty Maine Coon Baby(England)  Misty is a 4 month old Maine Coon Silver Tortie, we traveled to Wales to collect her and her brother Chewie. We wanted a male Silver Tortie but we found out she was a female so we saw her brother and fell in love with him. Then we decided we would have her too as she has a remarkable fur coat and it would be better if they lived together rather than being on their own. Comments: What a pretty girl! We did the same thing, taking home a brother and sister as kittens. It worked out so well. They have always had each other, and have always been so closely bonded. I'm sure your two are having a great time together! Misty's markings are awesome. She is going to be one stunning lady when she grows up. Chewie Baby Maine Coon(England)  Chewie is a 4 month old maine coon, we collected him from wales with his sister misty. He is a ginger maine coon kitten and i adore him very much  Comments: Have fun, Sweetie! One day, as I was sitting outside on the steps, talking on my cell phone, this beautiful cat jumped up into my lap. I'd never seen her before, but she was so beautiful and so sweet! I spent the next 4 days looking for her owners, but no one claimed her, so she moved in with us. At the time, we thought she was a 1-2 year old angora, but it turned out that she had a surprise for us! Sweetie was a 6 month on Maine Coon! She's bigger than our other 3 cats, and nearly as big as the dog, which has given her the nickname "puppycat". Comments: Sweet Puppycat! She's so pretty, and I love the nickname "Puppycat!" We may need to use that one sometime! Thanks for sharing your Sweetie with us. I'll be sure to add her picture to our photo album soon. Wiley(Idaho)  Wiley picked me out at the local animal shelter. I walked into a room full of cats, an orange kitten bounded across the room, managed to jump up on my shoulder and pretty much said "let's go home". He sat on my shoulder the whole way home, happy as a cat can be. I had no idea I had a Maine Coon until a friend of mine told me. She could tell by the distinctive markings on his head, rings around his tail and other physical characteristics I now know go along with the breed. I went to the computer and did a search for Maine Coon and there he was. I don't suppose he's a purebred. I still can't figure out if he's fat or just big. He weighs about 25 lbs. He is extremely eccentric with a long list of odd habits. He talks a lot. He is ALWAYS with me, on me, talking to me and demanding my attention til I can't stand it and send him to his bachelor pad for a time out. When he won't leave me alone sometimes I yell at him and he runs across the room and lays on his back with his feet up in the air. He is very sensitive to human emotions. If I cry, he leaves. If people argue, he has a little odd chatter. If people laugh a lot he talks as though telling them to stop. He hides when people come to the door and eventually comes out when the coast is clear. He hates being brushed, bites me and claws me so I quit trying and he looks terrible most of the time. When I can't stand him I take him to the vet and they gas him and deep brush him. Otherwise he's a happy cat as long as he gets his Mountain High (will accept no substitutes) plain yogurt twice daily. I have had many cats but never a cat with such a distinctive personality. When I have guests they can't seem to leave him alone. Comments: OMG! by: Anonymous Wiley is just like my maine coon, He sleeps in the funniest positions, never leaves my side follow me everywhere and loves to play with the kids. He just terun 1yrs old in 8/10 got him from the APL, and he was the kitten who decided to break the cage. I knew he would fit right in with the kids. We Love papi. Brushing your cat by: John My Maine Coon looks exactly like yours. He is 2 years old and weighs about 20 pounds. So he still has another possible year or two to fully mature. My cat loves brushing but loves to roll on his back and then tries to play with the brush. He tries to grab it with paws and bite it and lick it. I give him a very soft brush to grab with his paws when he gets playful like that so he will be distracted from the other brush. So cute! by: shirley Hi Fredde.. What a pretty cat. We got our Mandy at the shelter & is such a joy to us. Mandy displays many of the qualities of Wiley and truly we wouldn't change a one. Many years of happiness to you & Wiley. Happy Cat! by: Maine Coon Cat Nation Hi Fredde, What a happy cat! Wiley is so cute, and he's actually smiling! Thanks for sharing his adoption story, and his personality with us. He's a very unique individual! Cats like him are the best kind of company, I think. Tesla, physicist kitty(Maryland)  15 pounds of love, showing off his tummy, per usual. Comments:
Awesome!
Hector the cutest Maine Coon
My Maine Coon is now three months old and he is tiny. He has a big personality at times but he can also be very sleepy and dozy, I love him to bits! I love my baby hector here is another pic of him sleeping he is beautiful, I am so proud to have him! He is so loving and playful - when he is awake, I really do love him! Here is another pic of my beautiful baby sleeping! Zeke the cat & Mateo the rat,Zeke is a Maine Coon, who I adopted from a lady who's grandchildren were allergic. I got him when he was 4 months old & is now a yr and half. He is such a sweety. Loves to play & be where ever I am. He has such a personality. Loves to talk & play in the bathtub. I've had Mateo for almost a yr. He & Zeke are best buds. I never would've dreamed they would get along. They play together all the time. Zeke never has his claws which is surprising for a cat. He rarely gets rough with Mateo. What a unique friendship. Hi Mary Ellen! ~Carrie Comments: Sasha My Silver Tabby Coonie(Bristol UK) 
This is a pic of Sasha that I took today, a lot bigger than the last one I posted! Sasha loves watching the birds in our garden but has never caught one, thank goodness! She once caught a mouse but didn't harm it and we were able to release it. Her favourite food is Gourmet Perle and Royal Canin. She loves her big sister Pixie (a 3 year old tortie DLH) who treats her like a daughter! The kitten picture is her at 4 months old. She is nearly two years old now and pretty small for the breed, we call her our "minor coon" - but she is very pretty. She is very much her own cat and only wants love and attention on her terms - but when she does she is incredibly sweet and affectionate! Comments: Demanding His Place at The Table...(RI) Bert at the dinner table 
Bert is now 20 months old. He's a good sized Coon though far from a huge one. In the picture he's standing on his back legs at the dining room table. Friends stopped by and one of them usually plays with Bert when visiting. Last night Bert had to get a bit more assertive to get his expected entertainment. Comments: He is a handsome cat! It's nice that this photo shows his height. He's still young, so in a couple of years you could have a big Maine Coon cat on your hands! Great name, too. Very unique. Jasmine With Her Lion Cut This is Jazzy (Jasmine) when she had a lion cut. She's a brown tabby. Stella(Michigan)  I found this little sweetie a week ago. The man who owned the property told me to take her and her sibling AND her momma, but I couldn't find them. He wasn't taking care of them at all - they were strictly outside cats. I couldn't leave her looking like she did. Her eye was crusted shut and she was blowing snot bubbles from her nose. She could hardly breathe, and that she had to do through her mouth! She had a horrible eye/upper respiratory infection, and was only about 4-5 weeks old. The vet said she wouldn't have lasted the weekend. I'm glad I brought her home! She had ear mites like the vet tech & I have never seen before! It took 15 minutes and 20 ear swabs to clean them out! We took care of her, got her eye infection cleared almost up, and she's purring and playing like crazy. We couldn't keep her, but gave her tonight to some good friends to be a friend for their 5 month old cat. A friend says she's a Maine Coon, but I'm not so sure. I had a Coon a long time ago, and this little sweetie doesn't look like mine did. Just wondering if you can help. Comments: Hi Laura, You are a real angel! It sounds like Stella wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. That is a true rescue story if I've ever heard one. I just hope Stella's mom & sibling are ok, too. How could anyone let those cats get in that condition? That's so sad. As for whether she's a Maine Coon, she looks like a sweet Tabby Kitten to me. Since Maine Coons have a natural look to them, it can be so easy to mistake just about any Tabby for a Coon. The M on her forehead is a nice marking. Tabby Maine Coons do have it, and lots of other Tabby cats have it as well. It would be unlikely that her mom was a purebred Maine Coon cat, unspayed and abandoned. Anything can happen, though. Stella is a sweetie. It must have been hard to give her up, but you did such a wonderful thing by getting her well and then finding her a nice home. Thanks for sharing her! ~CarrieNext: Maine Coon Cat Pictures & Videos Main Page
