This may be a silly question.

What is the Maine Coon population of cats in Maine in relation to non-Maine Coon cats in Maine?

I can't help but feel (hope) that there are a half-dozen of these majestic kitties everywhere you look in Maine. If I'm wrong, don't tell me. Keep the dream alive.

For me, I picture tons of Norwegian Forest Cats wandering around Norway.

Indeed! And wherever they go, they bring a little bit of forest magic with them.

As someone who lives in Maine, sadly in my area (central to western) there are not many Coon cats at all. Maybe it saves us though because if there were my mother would take so many off the street it would be unhealthy.

u/angryorphan55 avatar

Sorry I told you wrong, but I dont want you to come here disappointed.

Alternatively, if the breed of cat doesn't matter and things haven't changed too drastically over the last 20 years, I'd recommend OC to visit Mykonos (Greece). Been there as a kid, and approximately 75-80% of pictures from that holiday include cats - they roamed everywhere and were really nice and patient with little "I need to pet them all!"-me. But they were "just" your regular house cats in all possible colors.

I’ve got one (a gorgeous tuxedo girl named Belle), and she’s enough of a handful - ten would drive me into an early grave.

I love her so much :-) she’s sitting on the sofa next to me at the moment, watching the birds outside the window.

And a bonus video of her making biscuits: https://imgur.com/a/eQu5A8e

She is quite the majestic hunter and a very beautiful floof.

So, they're crazy? I've been curious about adopting one in the future. I read they're not really lap cats or clingy.

What is yours like?

She’s a great cat, and she’s got a great personality. But it’s a big personality.

When my alarm goes off in the morning, she comes in and demands a head scratch. She’s affectionate, but we always say she’s very aware of her bodily autonomy lol

She’s a lot more like a dog - she’ll follow me around the house, she plays fetch, she brings me random things to throw for her.

I wouldn’t trade her for the world... but I think “oh my god, could you imagine if we had two of her?” :-)

They just have big personalities. They can be willful jerks, but they are also incredibly loving and hilarious.

I love her personality. We’ve got a Ragdoll (Inara) as well, and it’s hilarious watching them interact.

If they were people, Inara would be the princess-type who doesn’t want to get her shoes dirty, and Belle is the well-intentioned but crazy friend dragging her into all kinds of mischief.

I have two maine coon mixes. They are the most affectionate cats I ever met. Also getting two ensures that they will keep each other busy. They also need more stimulation so that they don't go crazy. We have a lot of toys and also hunting toys. The hunting feeder toys especially help a lot with behavioral issues (our boy was waking us up in the middle of the night because he was bored).

Well, mine is SUPER clingy. I dont know what it is, but there’s something about him he’s a very unusual cat.

Oh my goodness. A diluted calico Maine Coon. So pretty and that face looks so soft.

u/Swooshtastic avatar

That is one beautiful coat of furr. This post would be a good fit for r/GirlsWithHugePussies

What a pretty girl!

u/CanAhJustSay avatar

Comes with its own snow-shoes!

Their faces are so adorable and have so much character. Such beautiful cats.

I want one. SO BAD.

u/dodge2015 avatar

Pretty young? LOVE the feet. I have a MC mix and never a dull moment. He won't ever get huge but he has the tail, the feet and best of all, the personality.

It's so beautiful!

Still a youngster

Usually Maine Coons look a little raggedy. But this one is beautiful.

u/CuteBeaver avatar

They require daily brushing to brushing every 3 days at minimum. We give ours sanitary trims once a month, and a monthly bath. Ours like to get into dusty places and with the cold Canadian air... their tails just acts like a Swiffer duster lol.

We started brushing them young, and have kept it up so its fairly easy to trim and brush them. Bribery also works with treats in a pinch.

I need to look at this breed up as this is an interesting cat.

r/torties would love your majestic floof.

I would to anything to give him one smol kiss on him head

“My momma used to shoe em’ off the porch with a broom”

What a beautiful animal, and such unusual coloring! At that angle he almost looks like a bobcat. Very close to looking wild.

u/misfit92 avatar

That is one fluffy long dude.

For real though, a gentle soul for you to hold them as such without them throwing an absolute fit or suddenly jumping away.

Are Main Coons somehow relatet to lynxes?

He's just a kitty too.

u/EJ100000 avatar

Wow his coloring is very unique. Always love a Maine Coon’s big ol’ paws, very sweet.

u/MarekVonMunchausen avatar

He looks almost like a lynx.

He is glowing

u/sundrop1969 avatar

But it doesn’t resemble Ron Perlman

What a beautiful baby

It’s so fluffy!!!!

Had a cat that loved to be held like that.

I think it might even be an apricot calico Maine coon. Swoon. Dead.

Belly of dreams

I have always wanted one, but living in the South with blistering hot Summers and high humidity, I just worry it would be too hard on them.

u/CuteBeaver avatar
Edited

That is a fair concern. Mine hug the AC unit in the summer and we are in Canada, Ontario... though to be fair the temps here can be high in the summer months, more so then you would expect. (Just not for the entire summer like you have).

I am a big fan of Maine Coon mixes. Growing up our neighbours PB Willow, got into some trouble with a DSH named George. They had a litter of beautiful kittens. They were self trained to fetch, gentle, all the temperaments of Willow and the inquisitive traits of their Dad. My friend in highschool who did not live in the base, adopted one of the MC mixed kitties. He was her everything. When she moved out he would take the elevator with her up and down in the apartment. Percy was just a joy and was ultra loving.

Mixes can be interesting to spot. Percy had all the MC features except for having extra long lynx tips on his ears. He had very small ones if you looked closely. However he had the long foot floofs. angelwing ear hair, long body , (rectangular spine shape) maine, and bushy tail.

Some mixes do not keep the Maine Coon long hair though. So thats what I am getting at. Those ones would probably have no trouble living in SC. If you can properly ID them (shelters will sometimes lie - or at least make mistakes ) so its good to know what traits to spot or look for. Petfinder would be your friend in finding Mixed Maine coon kitties.

You will need this. Also don't be afraid to pop into the Maine Coon subreddit if you want a second set of eyes to spot MC traits.

I really could not go back to another type of cat I adore how social these ones are. They choose to be in the same room, follow us around, they want to spend time with humans. Its so utterly sweet. However mine do not like to be held they want their own autonomy. I have to try and resist being grabby <3

My daughter has a cat that I really think might be a short hair MC. His intelligence, size and dog like qualities are incredible. Of course no way to find out, but man, he is a beast. She named him Dozer, because he is very much like a bulldozer compared to her last cat. Thank you for the information!

Beautiful. You are so lucky!

I know an Elvish Cat when I see one, and that is clearly a cat of the Elves

That cat is RIDICULOUSLY photogenic.

Haha yes a lynx, haven’t seen one of those in ages.

I see it has a long middle part. I like the middle part.

That is one good looking cat.
