Maine Coon Cat Stories
Fairy Tail Endings!
These wonderful Maine Coon stories are sure to brighten your day! Every day we receive new additions to our Monthly Photo Album. Most of these are nice, short introductions to a cat.
But sometimes we get a long get-to-know you kind of story. Even better, some of these are happy ending "tails" about a Maine Coon or Maine Coon mix that almost didn't have a home. Enjoy!
Welcome to Our Legacy Library of Reader Stories
Over the years, our community has shared hundreds of heartfelt stories - funny, sweet, surprising, and sometimes downright extraordinary.
These aren't just tales about cats. They're about the bond we all share with our Coonies, and the everyday magic they bring into our lives.
This collection is part of our site's legacy, preserving meaningful moments submitted by readers just like you.
While some of these stories go back a decade or more, they still hold timeless charm - and many feature photos, quotes, and memories that will make you smile.
We've gathered a few of the best here in one place so they can live on as part of our shared history.
Whether you're a longtime visitor or a new cat lover just discovering us, we hope you enjoy exploring these memory-laden pages.
