2023 Maine Coon Photo Gallery

Let's revisit some of the most heartwarming Maine Coon moments shared with us in 2023!

From fluffy kittens with oversized paws to regal adults showing off their luxurious coats, this handpicked photo album captures the beauty, personality, and charm that make Maine Coons so beloved.

We’ve selected the most striking photos and memorable stories - celebrating not just the cats themselves, but the love their families have for them.

Welcome to this look back at a truly delightful year in our Maine Coon Cat Nation community.

Miss Molly

by: Karen in Green Valley, AZ

Molly is 8mos old and growing. She is a hoot with all her charm. She is my second Coonie. My first lived 20 wonderful years.

She’s so unique and her ear tufts are outstanding and of course the big bushy tail. She’s 8 months old and keeps good track of her humans. Loves the birds on You Tube.

Ginny from Lumacoon Maine Coon

by: Ajuna Hacke in Denmark

This is Ginny our three year old dramaqueen.

She's a big softie once you get to know her, despite that look of doom in her eyes XD she was actually called Idun after the goddess of youth, but we felt Ginny suited her confident and independent personality more :)

Oh my gosh. I have been looking for à red/white like Ginny for over a year. I lost ours on 2020, that I rescued!. Coral

Beautiful girl
by: Pam
She is a beautiful MC! I have 2 MC one is five and our youngest is one. I have always wanted an orange Maine Coon. I hope she is a blessing to you for many years.

Maximus Rex

by: Susan in South Carolina

Max and Jagger

Maximus Rex

We got our boy, Maximus Rex, as a 6 month old kitten.

He’s very dog-like and follows us, especially my husband, from room to room, and absolutely hates being excluded from anything we’re doing!

He’s now one year old, and loves to play with and chase our other cat Jagger all over the house.

Jagger is a good-size cat himself, weighing about 14 pounds, but you can see how Max already dwarfs him, despite not being fully grown yet!

Lacey Our Beautiful Baby

by: Gloria in Nova Scotia, Canada

Lacey is very affectionate and quiet. Loves being hugged and kissed. Amazingly, she understands a lot of what we say to her.

At 11 years she has slowed down some but is very healthy at 14 lbs. Our first Maine coon and we fell in love with her the first time we saw her.

Will take as much attention as she can get. Loves her grass box on our deck.

Update on Barron

by: Elizabeth Duncan in Las Vegas

Just turned one! I am still full of energy and mischief! My hobbies are chasing bugs and my fellow feline Summer.

I wake my parents up at 6 am every day by making loud trills when I am bored and want a snack.

Life is an adventure and I am ready for whatever visitors being me admiration and treats.

Hope

Wherever Aila is, Hope is there too

Aila and Hope's first Christmas

Hope is our beautiful 14 year old Maine Coon. She was our granddaughters 3rd birthday present.

They have been close buddies ever since. Hope has been known to call her name looking for her, "Eye-ya".

As you all probably know Coon cats are very cool, I mean really unflappable. Something will startle the other cats, Hope will look up and yawn.

I cannot say how much we love this cat and the breed. I am sure our house would not be complete without a big old Maine Coon looking out for us.
Wendy

Queen Nika

by: Diana in Upstate, NY

She is almost 2. Very energetic. Loves to play with her feather wands.

She is the love of my life. I need to get a male soon. Lol

Tintin

by: Nelson in Nashville

Just turned one. Tintin is still growing. As a kitten, he always stayed near us, slept in our bed, etc.

But nearing adulthood, he's become more independent, especially during "hunting" hours. Is this normal?

He's still affectionate; just not nearly to the degree as when a kitten. He’s my first Maine Coon so I’m full of questions.

He is 14 months old, and I love him like crazy. He’s still playful and friendly, but not the cuddly kitten he used to be.

These days, he's more independent - and honestly, I'm having a hard time with the change.

He used to curl up in my lap, purring nonstop. Now, he does his own thing. Is this typical for the breed? Do they go through a more distant phase as they mature?

This question is moved to our Q&A: Do Maine Coons get less cuddly as they mature?

Cyrus 8 months old

by: Pam Cook in Tennessee

Cyrus is the most energetic kitten we’ve ever had!

At just 8 months, he could leap six feet across the kitchen - like it was nothing - and nap through anything afterward.

He loves the bird feeder view, kisses me with his nose, and even came from the same Alabama cattery as our other Coonie, Sadie. Turns out they share the same sire!

Now, at a year old, he’s only gotten faster and more athletic. He races through the house and launches to the top of our tallest cat tree like it's a game. We had to put a box on top of the fridge just to stop him from reaching the second-story windows!

Cyrus has a favorite felt mouse toy he plays with when I tell him, "Go get your baby!" He’s endlessly entertaining, crazy smart - and so loving, too. We absolutely adore him.

He loves chicken, roasted the best! He has been so entertaining and he is also very loving!

Gorgeous
by: Charles
He is absolutely adorable. These cats are so smart and entertaining. My male Maine Coon is just over one year old. And we love him so much. He is spoiled, but you can't help but spoil them.

Ripley

by: Chryss in Colorado Springs

Ripley was a gift from a friend and oh, what a sweetie! She loves being petted starting at her forehead and ending past her bushy tail.

She chose me as her human pet and sleeps in my bedroom. She pulls her water dish across the floor until it's in the right place to lap up some water; I stepped in it once and was lucky not to fall. Silly girl!

Rhumba

by: Patti in Pennsylvania

Rhumba and Creola

Not sure what they’re waiting for

Rhumba

Mmm. What can I find in here!

Rhumba was found at Pet Smart’s kitty area. We immediately went to the SPCA to put in an application.

He was 4 mos at the time but looked alot older because of his size, minus the teeth. He's now 10 years old and lives his big sister Creola 14 yr (long haired calico).

He does not care for baths at all. He snuggles and has the sweetest chirp. Rhumba follows me around the house all the time. So glad we found him ❤️

Shandy-Fluff

by: Sarah Larkins in Ramsgate, U.K.

Shandy-Fluff will be 14 on the 20th March😻

She was diagnosed having a brain tumour 30th September last year and is on steroids giving her a healthy and happy (me included) time. S

he is seeing the vet again on the 22nd March so Paws crossed 😻😻

Shandy-Fluff appeared on your Coonie website quite a few years back and she would love to feature again please 😻
We love Maine Coon Nation

Princess Ariel

by: Sandra in East Tennessee, US

Princess Ariel chilling

Ariel came to us from a friend who couldn’t keep her. They got her to be a companion to their older cat and it didn’t work.

She is the sweetest cat I have ever had. She loves to cuddle and still plays like a kitten. She has become very vocal in the last couple of years. We love her very much.
