If you're wondering if your cat is a MC, this is the place to ask!

In general, this subreddit operates under the assumption that having no papers means your cat is not a Maine Coon. However, what we can tell you is whether your cat does indeed exhibit any physical characteristics that look like those of a Maine Coon.

I’m so obsessed with him. I can’t believe I’ve had him for 3 weeks now! He’s made himself right at home.

If anyone is wondering about the weird collar, it’s a rfid tag shrink wrapped. He’s got a special feeder that my ragdoll can still manage to break into.

That’s the stare of an orange Buddha who’s been fed the wrong breakfast.

I almost gave in. I almost appologised. I almost got down on my knees begging for forgiveness. I almost swore to never ever ever EVER doing that againg. I almost handed over my credit card, car, horses, gold mines, my life.

But then, I didn’t: I’ve finally found something that is not a garden fence that he wouldn’t stuff his cute and most adored face with in 0.01 nanoseconds.

Where TF are my bloody earplugs…??

Question Advice please! Kitten purrs too much?

3 Upvotes

We just brought home Ruby, a 3 month old Maine coon girl last night. We chose her over another baby boy cos she purred so much when we held her.

Back in her new room, she purrs a lot too. We have a overfriendly mini dachshund at home but he’s separated from her at this point. My husband and I take turns going into Ruby’s room to play with her but we notice she purrs A LOT.

When we’re near her, when we touch her, when she is beside us grooming herself, SHE PURRS. Like a motor running without stopping. She has warmed up to us fast - she lies down & shows her belly, allows belly rubs etc.

We are first time cat owners but know that purring might not always be a good thing.

Is there anything we should take note of? Is she happy? Or stressed that she knows there’s an extroverted dog at the door?

Please help, thank u!

He’s loving all the attention and of course he shared his birthday cake with his siblings. He was so hungry smelling these delicious treats that I forgot to add the temptations. lol

Hello to the wonderful MC people who allow me to glaze your beautiful cats. Apparently a MC cattery named one of their kittens after the actor who played Tormund Giantsbane on Game of Thrones because they are both ā€œkissed by fireā€.
I am not affiliated with the breeder, just a fan of the show and you kindly allow me to lurk here and appreciate your majestic and glorious cats, so thought I’d share this for a laugh. Of course, delete if this is not permitted. Cheers

This is Goose. She is 14 weeks old. May or may not have pooped in the carrier on the way home to us earlier in the week... and on her first trip to the vet yesterday... and she'd do it again, too.

Her hobbies include naps, springs, purring, springs, cat tree lounging, springs... I laughed at the springs before I bought them, "Seriously, plastic springs? Is that what we're doing these days?" Officially the top toy she loves, will chase for hours, 10/10.

Meet crouton, our 2 year old main character.

Recently, as soon as I turn the stove on (induction, so it beeps) she will run over and start screaming at me to cuddle her! She will wrap her arms around my ankles and just be in the way until I pick her up to cuddle

She’s never gotten any human food, we don’t cook a lot of meat (so no enticing smells), never drop anything etc so no reason for her to be interested in me cooking. No cans are opened for her either etc. We’ve had her since she was 4 months old and she’s only started doing it recently. She just genuinely seems to want to be cuddled all of a sudden!

Maine coon kitten

27 Upvotes

Very upset and at this pointing….just venting….

We bought a male Maine coon kitten about 2 weeks ago. Had put down a deposit and waited till he was ready to come home. We paid $2,500 for him. Breeder has over 20k followers on FB. They have been breeding for 10+ years, kitten is out of titled, imported parents. Breeder has a ā€œknown nameā€. They seemed reputable.

Upon receiving the kitten, he was so small for his age…every vertebrae along his spine could be felt along with his hip bones. Her contract with additional information wasn’t released to us until we received him. She has a clause that she doesn’t cover health of the kitten if it has diarrhea since it’s due to clients changing their food. We bought the same food and he has had diarrhea since we got him. He is lovely and playful and gaining weight though. We took him into the vet 30hrs after receiving him. His weight was 3.6 lbs for a 13 week old Maine Coon. We have sent out a GI PCR panel to see what the underlying cause might be. Also, when we received this kitten, his feet and cheeks were stained yellow…we think from urine/feces. At the end of the day, we love him and he is on the mend!!!
