Enzo

by: Amy in SC

gorgeous purebred brwon tabby maine coon cat with bright attentive eyes.

This is Enzo. He is 2 years old. He is such a sweet boy. He is my talkative one. He is always trilling. His most favorite thing to do is fetch the cat spring toys. He is obsessed with those.

Augustine

augustine1121

This is Augustine, my fourth Maine Coon, born on August 14th 2017, so he’s just over four years old.

He weighs in at 22lbs and is a gentle giant. A very pampered kitty, who loves his heated throw, now that it’s getting colder.

We live in Northern Ireland. I got my first two Maine Coon brown tabby brothers back in 1996, one of which lived till he was eighteen.

Took me a while after he passed away to come around to getting another, but Augustine, who usually answers to Buddy, is a very special boy!

Our beloved Cooper was the sweetest cat I have ever known (a true gentle giant). He was very quiet except when talking to his human dad. We lost him way too soon due to heart problems. He is greatly missed each and every day.

Stanley Steamer

by: Jewell in Sarasota Florida

classic purebred ginger and white maine coon cat with gold eyes.

Stan is six years old and the total boss of our two golden retrievers. I am convinced that he believes that he is a Golden. He is also the laziest at that we have ever lived with but is a total joy to us.

Luka is our 3 year old boisterous sometimes bossy boy. He’s affectionate and clingy but wouldn’t change it for the world.

He escaped earlier in the year and was gone for three long devastating nights. A long story but so happy he found his way back to us.

We built a catio for our crew and they love it and gives peace of mind. He's a bit territorial with his half sister Trixie, our beautiful Tortie smoke but she’s learning to deal with him.

Sadie 3 years old

by: Pam Cook in Tennessee

pretty female brown maine coon cat sitting on a desk.

Sadie is very sweet and very spoiled. She is very talkative and has no problem letting you know she wants something.

If you don’t go to her she will begin to howl as if she has been deserted lol! She is also very lady like when she wants human food.

She sits on a chair at the table and waits to be given a few bites. All in all I don’t know what I would do without her!

My New Fall Decor!

by: Darleen Saunders in Sacramento, CA, USA

two black and white kitties in baskets side by side.The boys love their new sleeping nest baskets

I use these baskets for picking vegetables and set them inside temporarily before storing them for the winter.

But the kitties found them irresistible and repurposed them as sleeping beds. So much for cleaning up. They love their new beds, so there they will stay.

Cool Beans

Of course my handsome little stuffalupicous.

Finnegan

by: Patty (Toledo, WA

Finnegan will be 6 months old in December. He already weighs in at 10 lbs.

He is a chatterbox with lots of chirps and trills. He is silly and plays and plays by himself with what ever he finds, usually a paper clip or a tissue - rarely a purchased toy.

He's a handsome boy and a sweetheart. We all enjoy his company and super sweet nature.

Georgina Keane-Anderson

by: Eleanor in Como

beautiful female black smoke maine coon cat with luxurious tail

I’m Georgina! I was featured in your Gallery a few years ago, and I was very happy to be chosen. I live with Mum in Como, Western Australia.

We travel every month with our JAYBIRD ROADRUNNERS CARAVAN CLUB friends to a Rally.

Western Australia is a lovely State and the weather is always nice, even in Winter. My Daddy/Uncle Neil built a terrific tree house for me which sits in the middle of our living room.

I can go anywhere I want to in our apartment but Mum won’t let me go outside, (I think it’s because I am so beautiful, she thinks someone might take me away to live in their house).

Luna

by: Carol in Alachua, FL

silver tabby furry cat with legs outstretched.

Like so many Coonies, she loves running water.

Every morning she insists I turn on the faucet, cup my hand in the sink as she proceeds to stick her whole head under the stream in order to lap the water collecting in my palm!

She is not a lap cat, she is a shoulder cat. She loves to perch on my chest and shoulder interrupting my TV watching. Can’t see past all that "floof." At night she sleeps right up against my back. Best heating pad ever
