That cat the belonged in Hollywood!

I have adblocker so can't view them. sniff, sniff

Gorgeous but they mostly all look mean. I couldn't see all of them since it wanted me to disable ad blocker and I won't. I at first thought Bernie didn't like me because his expression wasn't as sweet as my other cats, but they all look like that.

Looks so much like Max!

But he was the sweetest most kind hearted cat. He was a protector for Garfield who was a kitten.

Whoa!!! Talk about "cattitude"! Those faces tell it all. LOL

Raven- I LOVE Maine Coons!!! Thank you so much for posting this. I have a 17-20 pounder that is SO SWEET!

What beautiful creatures! I had no idea there were so many variations.....I've only seen one grey tiger stripe that belonged to a friend of my Mom, and just assumed they were all grey striped. Gorgeous!

blfenton, lily, look at those paws! lily, this one looks like a fun kind of guy. not mean. :)

Another one for blfenton

I saw that one. Thought he looked kinda sad but very sweet. I love their paws. One of them had gigantic one. Bernie's are very big but sadly he was declawed. He's almost 16 pounds but even looks bigger since he's so long.

And a non-meanie for lily. A silly baby

I bet you love Bernie. Hope your Doxie is feeling better today

Extraordinary!

Fluffalicious

Thanks for posting the ones in this post. I have adblocker too and couldn't see them. I am struck by how much they look like wild animals. Their feet are huge. I wonder if any of the photos were "doctored" or that the real way all Maine Coon cats look? Some of them do look kind of ferocious. They are beautiful creatures though.

One more for those of you with adblocker

Lily, the one you thought looked sad looks highly intelligent to me. :)

Thanks, raven! loved looking at them

Oh, they are "all" just so beautiful.

My sister had a Maine Coon cat. It was the biggest cat I had ever seen but such a softy, not a mean bone in his body. And somewhat of a scaredy cat. It would hide under the bed if there was thunder or any other loud noise. Her other cat, which was small and extremely delicate looking, was the boss.

MurraysMom ... they have BIG muzzles, BIG whisker pads, BIG ears with BIG tufts and BIG manes or ruffs.

They all look that way, but they are usually sweet cats

Oh moonie, thank-you so much. I love the orange cat that you posted. We used to have a ginger cat with very similar markings. He lived to be 20 years old and was the best cat ever. His name was Orange Julius.

Many of these cats remind me of a character from Cats, I just can't remember which one, or maybe just a mix of them all.

I LOVE those pics! I'm on a pinterest board for MC's. I know everyone with a domestic longhair calls it a Main Coon...buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut......the difference is so distinct!

I was happy to post them. Hope that the photographer doesn't mind. oops

A friend's sister's cat had a litter of half-Main Coon kittens. They were the most beautiful kittens I have ever seen. This was years ago but I've never forgotten those kittens.

When I first found my cat, I had never heard of a Maine Coon. His fur was so long and wild and his muzzle was so much more pronounced then any cat I had ever seen. I joked that he had a face kind of like a monkey. His feet were the largest feet I had ever seen on a cat. I took him to a traveling cat clinic and the vet said he is a Maine Coon or Maine Coon mix kitten. I was shocked as I thought he was a full grown cat. He doesn't look as much like a Maine Coon the past year though. I guess shaving him and all his ruffles off hasn't helped lol. They really are the nicest, gentlest giants.

Thanks, Raven...loved looking at the pics...at least some. Moonie, the 3rd pic down, the one that you said looks like a fun kind of guy, is a female...dilute tortie, I think you call it.

Our Stormy. We miss her.

Try this link for his pictures maybe it will work for you.

More beauties!

I was amazed at how much fur those cats had on their paws. It seems to me its more than the average house cat.

Thanks for this, Raven. I got to see them all without the adblocker warning. My rescue Bernie looks the most like the second picture where the woman is holding the cat above her head. I knew little about them but am learning. Bernie has been living in the five rooms on the second floor. He's not doing too well on his brief, very brief visits downstairs. Interestingly, he barely looks at the dogs even though one of them barked at him when he first saw him. Bernie didn't even hiss, but he does not like Henry the other large domestic cat, and henry reciprocates by sitting at the french door at the time I bring Bernie down. Today I went up to pet him after his visit and he batted at me with his huge paws. This isn't going to be easy.

Jemdandy they have much more than the average cat. Max had the tufts of hair that sticks out between the toes. He also had them on the points of his ears as some of these do. His ruff around his neck was not as heavy and pronounced as some of these.

That white cat with the 2 different color eyes is stunning.

Moonie, yes, they are females. I took in some kittens recently that the guy that had them intended to dump. One is a yellow and white male and he has a dime sized black smudge on his side. I'll try to get a picture of him. He's still a little wild.

All the Maine coon cats I've ever seen in person have a sweet face. I'm attaching pics and you can see the staged one has been sheared, groomed and some photoshop done to the face. I love Maine coon cats. Maine coon cats

I could view them by disabling my AdBlock on that site.

Their expressions are ferocious. Smudge doesn't have a mean look at all. Maine Coon's are loving and gentle, they're called the Gentle Giant. Smudge is too gentle......when someone new comes to the house, he'll hide until he senses that he can trust them. It can take several visits before he "takes' to a person.

They're also very vocal, they have a vocabulary of several different sounds. They don't meow, they kind of bark.....a short vocal noise. Like a Grufff.

Smudge howls, cries like a baby, yodels, has a high-pitched noise, all that he makes every night as soon as we get into bed. He serenades as he comes all the way down the hall from the livingroom and into the bedroom. He's quite loud, I'm afraid the lady below us can hear him. Actually if it weren't for her hearing, I'm sure she could!

I have one now sitting by the french doors meowing a teeny little cry because he doesn't want to live downstairs with the rest of us.

That orange kitten is just too much!!! My girlfriend adopted a kitten from a shelter not realizing it was a Maine. Here's it's picture. Very fluffy, especially the tail, fur between its toes. I had a jigsaw puzzle made of this picture for her one Christmas.
