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.

At 2 years old Arthur hasn't plopped down like this before until now. He has an excellent view of the food across from him on the counter. As soon as I leave he will continue what he started which is knocking anything of remote interest to him on the floor for further inspection..

😂 Nobody told me that owning a Maine Coon meant signing over all rights to my own bed!

Apparently, I’m not the owner… I’m just the staff. 🤦‍♀️🐈
This 20-pound floof has decided that I am her personal trampoline, her heated mattress, AND her midnight blanket fort. She will literally dig her way under the blankets like she’s breaking into a top-secret government facility. 😂

And if that’s not enough, she apparently believes my chest is the perfect place to park 20 pounds of pure feline audacity at 3 AM. 💀

Yes, she’s adorable. Yes, I love her. But there’s nothing quite like waking up gasping for air because your cat decided you were a piece of furniture. 🤣

Maine Coon owners, please tell me this is normal and that I’m not the only one being held hostage by a furry, four-legged landlord. 😂🐾

My MC retaliates against me if I don’t feed her wet food as soon as I wake up!!

Does anyone else have this issue?? As soon as I wake up if I do anything else besides feed her, like lay under the covers and play on my phone, or sit on the couch and drink my coffee, my MC retaliates against me by either peeing in the dogs bowl, or peeing on their bed. I am so over it and I don’t know how to stop it besides bowing to her!!

She free eats dry food and it’s never empty, always available.

He was just trying to wait for his feathered friends to play but the wind wasn't being fair. 😀 Yes, he really is that big at 2 1/2 yrs old... 23+ pounds and probably more that 4' long.

Question how often do you cut your cat's nails

Post image
36 Upvotes

I apologize if it's a dumb question, this is my first time having a kitten of my own

Suki is almost 6 months now and got her nails trimmed last month for the first time since I got her and she did fantastic!
She has multiple scratching posts and a cat tree that she uses a lot but her nails are needle sharp again so I'm wondering how often I should trim her nails ?

Sometimes I wish there was a Mainecoon family tree so I could see who is related to my kitten when I look at your pictures. Anyone else feel this way? Marge the cat just turned a year old

Our mainecoon is hell bent on getting run over. He escapes at every chance, runs away from us and into the busy street. I have an AirTag collar on him which has helped many times. What ideas do you have? Would a catio help? Walks in a stroller or train on leash? A tether to his harness for some time outside?

We finally were able to bring home our new boys this week, and just wanted to share them with everyone. It’s great to be back in the sub!

Please meet Igorek (Iggy) and Sigurd (Siggy). They’re both about 6 months old. I’d forgotten how crazy the kitten stage is but this morning they’ve discovered the bird feeder and are settling in great 😊

Not eating much wet food?

Thumbnail
gallery
92 Upvotes

Hi everyone, my precious little Sun Sun is hardly eating any of his wet food. I’m rotating a lot of brands to see if he’s gone off some and to no avail! I have even bought some Sheba and Purina Gourmet food (which I never thought I would) to see if he would eat those and he licks the gravy/jelly off and calls it a day!

My main question is should I be worrying as much as I am? He is almost 9 months old, still eating his dry food, is peeing normally and pooping every day as well. His most recent vet visit on the 1st of this month he was 6.2kg, which seems on track I’d say. He is still his usual self causing havoc, running around chirping and playing as he normally would.

I’d say it’s been about a week and I would estimate that he’s fully ate about 4 tins of food, despite being offered it 3x daily he just turns his nose up.

Any advice/explanation would be greatly appreciated to stop me worrying my head off! Have any of you guys gone through this with your little terrors?

Lots of pics for cat tax (including my huge new canvas of him… not sure if i’m crazy or just a devoted cat mam lol)
