Our girl Aerith is a pure bred Maine Coon tourtie and she trills and chirps all the time. She's actually quite chatty at times, especially when I get home from work or if she's excited. She's an absolute sweet heart and we love her so incredibly much!
I have had cats all my life and I am now approaching 70 years old. I took in a 6 year old Maincoon last year and is the BEST cat I ever owned! ❤️ I am a widow of 3 years and he( Benny ) I believe was sent to me by my deceased husband! He is my love and my best friend. Can't go wrong owning a Maincoon!!!
What a sweet story! My first Maine Coon was a silver tabby named Bubba. Only 3 days after he died a breeder had a young female returned to her, the couple that bought her were traveling all the time and she was lonely. She is the same color as Bubba and I tell everyone that Bubba arranged all this so I wouldn’t be lonely. I know it’s silly, but still….what are the odds that a pure bred Maine Coon would show up at a breeder near my home and be needing a home right when I needed her the most? I don’t think it’s implausible at all that your husband “arranged” for Benny to come into your life! I hope you are well. 😊🐈🐈⬛😻😽💜💞
I am a happy owner/father of a pure red Maine Coon cat I named Richard. I love big animals in general and Maine Coons are my love because of their close-to-dog character. Love this red-haired snake-eyed fluffy a-hole))) Loving, beautiful and chatty fella he is)
Don’t know where you live but there is a breeder in or right around Sanford, NC. They raise registered show cats if that’s what you want or you can agree by contract that they will be spay/ neutered and not bred. These are wonderful people who take excellent care of their cats. And I believe they are the folks who bred and sold the kitten who went on to hold the World Record for size and weight. I cannot remember the name of the Breeders but they do have a channel. I will post it on this channel as soon as I look it up for you.
True, Maine Coon is a sweet breed. We need to bathe, comb and groom cats occasionally to keep them fresh and clean. Thanks for your comment, we really appreciate it. Please Subscribe to our channel and share
Best animal I have ever had, she is a four footed doorbell, she answers my door, she’s on guard all the time, drink’s out of my cup, she’s like every thing I could ever want in an animal, ❤️her dearly
Rescued a male coon living outdoors 24/7 for 3 years, vet guessed his age at 4-5 years old, that was a year ago. BEST CAT EVER. I love my previous rescues, but he's in a totally different league. Half dog, half cat best I can describe him, and I've trained several dogs. Tough as all hell, but so devoted and loving, 100% indoors now (yeah, coyote country here), him so appreciating a safe place to bed down, he sleeps the entire night. If you happen upon one, just get him/her and run for the door.
Had a Maine coon cat come out of nowhere when I was probably 15 years old on Thanksgiving day and we fed up some turkey and it never left. Was one of the best cat I ever had and he lived until I was probably 25. He was big when we got him, so I’m guessing he was probably 5 to 10 years old. So he lives probably 15 to 20 years. Great cat, great temperament and after watching this video I’m actually debating in getting another. I’ve been really partial to Bluepoint Persians, after getting one from a great lady out of New Jersey who the second that I picked her up at probably 6 to 8 months old, climbed up my shirt wrap her arms around my neck and gave me the huge hug that she give me every time I pick her up. She also pushes her nose into my lips so I kiss it, so she can fall asleep. I’ve never had a cat like her before. Gives hugs and kisses. But kisses with her nose. Just love to have it kissed. Truly an amazing cat and I wish the cloning place were still in business, because I think about that every day. She’s only seven, but I am horrified of losing her. In any case, the Persian and Maine coons are some of the best Cats I ever had. If you can afford a pure bred one, don’t think twice. You won’t get a better tempered, more loving cat.
That's super lovely, you must be a passionate cat lover especially the Maine Coon breed. Will recommend you get another Maine coon since you've lived with one for over a decade. Thank you for commenting, we really appreciate it. Please Subscribe to our channel and share
I was just blessed with the main coon cat hes 5 years old and he is the sweetest thing that I've ever owned my little Lucy a Persian Orange cat died and here a week later Mr. Teddy arrived in my life the older lady couldn't take care of him anymore so he was given to me He is the sweetest thing ever such a bundle of joy
I have 4 Maine Coons. Two are Polydactyl are two are not. I have had 9 others total. I actually had a furniture delivery man saw my largest boy and he ran out of my house and got into the truck and even locked the door. As if Stormie could have opened that door. House doors, yes, he can open those but not a big truck door. He asked me how I got permission to keep a Bobcat as a pet. We laughed so hard at this guy. This guy played with my Rottweiler but ran from my Maine Coon. I still laugh about that.
My "Lion" is Maine Coon/ Norwegian Forest cat. He is so handsome with his smaller face and ears. He is a character. He does funny things, chirps and thrills alot. Never meows. He is my first cat I've had that does. I love it. I love our conversations. When he wants something he comes and sits by my side. His eyes tell you alot. Mine wags his tail when I ask him a question. This is extremely important when he's sick as it's very hard to tell because normally they go and hide. He will tell me what's wrong; body aches, cold, sick at tummy etc. He loves being outside, but I have to watch him when he's out. He is not a fighter at alI. I love him very very very much. He's my big toes.
Sassy Girl was a silver classic tabby. She was the size of a cocker spaniel dog. She trilled and chirped when she was watching birds(wild turkeys) were her favorite pasttime as was being brushed. Sassy was chatty especially when my hubby brought her along to pick me up from a long week of work. She loved to go for rides. She was soooo sweet and adorable.
My wife and I got lucky when we were able to adopt a female Tabby Maine Coon 5 months ago she is so fun and we enjoy her more and more with each passing day!❤🎉😊
When we purchased my daughters cat from a friend we did not know hecwas a Maine Coon until the vet saw him one day. He is very unique in a beautiful way which fits all traits of a Maine coon.
I just got my mom a Maine Coon because her Husky is now living with my brother and she is the sweetest most explorative of our cats! I have 4 DSH and only my female took to her! She acts like her mother! At least one of my cats is polite! Thank you for this information!
I have a 2yr old calico Maine Coon, she has such a funny personality and always tries to join me in the shower. Before her I had a sweet silver Maine Coon that would chirp and trill in conversation with me all day, she passed at 14yrs old in 2020. I had people report me to the leasing office of my apartment complex a few times because they thought she was a bobcat!
I've always believed Maine Coons stem from the Norwegian Forest cat (Ship's Cat) the Vikings brought to the Northeast of America. Many of them have the same extra claw and the ear tuffs. The Vikings used those cats onboard their ships because they were great mousers, great company, they had the claw to grip onto a moving ship, and they have the ability to climb masts (and trees) much more easily than other breeds. They will climb down a tree face down, while most cats back down from a tree. If some of those cats were left in the wild, they might have bred with other cat species or evolved on their own to become the Maine Coon. Very handsome cats!
My picture is our Maine Coon Sheba when she was about 4 months old. She's 15 months now and weighs 14 pounds. She talks to me constantly but doesn't say much to my wife.
I had a sweet orange and white cat who I still love. He was the best, most loyal cat. He behaved more like a dog. I do not care where he came from. He was a great companion. He was loyal to me right up until he died, and an excellent hunter. RIP.
I had two Maine Coon cats 35 years ago and I still miss them. Your video was extremely informative and brought me back to the days when they were still around.
I took in a little feral/stray that is so obviously all or part Maine Coon. They're amazingly intuitive, intelligent curious, very active, do like playing with water, (mine are not so fond of going fully into the water, but love playing with it), very vocal (mixed blessing 🙉), very prolific, and not the breed for people who want quiet docile little couch potatoes, although they do like to snuggle when they're calm. The kittens sound like little birds. 🥰
My son has a Maine Coon named Spunky. I absolutely love him. I’ve always been allergic to cats and I have asthma but he doesn’t bother me at all. He’s so sweet and a bit of a clown. ❤️🥰
My Maine Coon mix died abruptly and in heartbreaking horror 6 days ago. The only warning that something was wrong was her gradual loss of appetite and unusual thirst for water (she rarely drank water) in her last few days. She was a wonderful, sensitive & sweet pal who followed me around & usually got up on the bed for purring cuddles, including the night before. She was also a beautiful Tuxedo with long, fluffy plumage on her chest & tummy, and the cutest 'masked bandit' face. I loved her a lot, so her bizarre sudden death devastated me with a lasting impression of her brief ordeal of intense pain. I'd rescued her from a feral existence over 5 years ago when she was 11 or 12 years of age (according to the local animal rescue), so she was about 17 and her expiration date was due. She looked young & health though. Aside from being heartbroken, I was struggling to understand what happened to her. I found out that Maine Coons are especially vulnerable to a gene mutation (A31P) that can cause Feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This likely caused Miss Kitty to have a heart attack and sudden death. It was *over* in less than about 5 minutes. For viewers who want to adopt a Maine Coon, a test for this gene is available, which I highly recommend. In retrospect, I ask myself if I want another kitty. I now plan to adopt another Maine Coon Tuxedo in a few months, and this time I'll adopt a tiny kitten! The Maine Coon breed seems to be wonderful; sweet, friendly, charming & beautiful! Since I'm almost 74, she might just outlive me!
If you do, please please please make accommodations for your new kitty in your will if something happens to you. I am 70 and volunteer at Blue Bell Cat Sanctuary in Laguna Beach, California. Nearly half of the 40 residents are there, many of them "chauffeured" from across country, because their loving owners died or were no longer able to care for them. Also, I wanted to say I am inspired by your willingness to bring a new animal companion into your life. I am 70 and thought it might be too late to responsibly adopt a cat. Good luck!
Hey, thats exactly how my baby died!!!! She lost weight during the last few months and she was always drinking water but she was almost 20 years old so I thought it was just old age. She was still eating, playing going to litter box on time. She was in the kitchen, she started walking in circles, then she meowed real loud and fell. I held her in my hands as she passed. Im a big tough looking dude and I was absolutely devastated. Cried like a kid for 2 days.....ugh!!!!
Simkinetics, First of all I am so sorry for your loss. I've had several cats succumb to old age or cancer. It is never easy. If there is any blessing to this, your kitty did not suffer for weeks or months. Registered M/C breeders test for HCM and other genetic dangers, hence the pricey sales tag. When one adopts a cat from the shelter or rescues a cat off the street, future health issues are a crap shoot and there is always that risk. I am your age and applaud your willingness to share your love and your home with other kitties. Make sure you have a "legacy" plan in place in the event that you cannot care for them. Me, while I am waiting to get my own forever home and get a maine coon or two, I petsit and volunteer at a cat sanctuary in Laguna Beach, CA. Good luck to you and your future furbabies!
I just turned 70, and had the opportunity to adopt a Maine Coon. Before doing so, I asked my daughter if she would take care of the cat if I kicked the bucket. The answer was a resounding "Yes!". Kahlua is now 2-1/2 years old. She naps on my desk while I work, and sleeps in my bed. MCs are wonderful cats!
I now have my second main coon and he is 2 1/2 years old. My first one lived to be 22. I had read in several places that it was the Norwegian forest cat who nearly became extinct in the 1950s. And that they used the main coon possibly to bring them back. I have also read that it was probably the Vikings who brought them here about 1000 years ago and ships Katz, making them now native to North America. Regardless, they are intelligent, inquisitive, and a great companion.
I always wondered why my cat didn't meow like normal! She does the chirps and trills as well instead. I compare her little noises to Marge Simpson (the little grunmbling noise she does when she's mad at Homer) 😆 it sounds exactly the same lol
Saying that Maine Coons don't require much grooming maintenance is false and dangerous. They DO. Maine Coons are prone to deadly obstipations from injesting their fur and nor being able to pass it. This can lead to necrotic intestines and death. You must maintain your Maine Coons coat. This includes regular brushing, bathing, hygienic shaves and lactulose (prescription) or other regular hair ball laxative like Cat Lax. Vet Tech here, Cat Rescue Owner and Maine Coon owner.
We have a MC cross and he is asleep in his cattio at the moment. My wife and I have had many cats over the years but never anything like this guy. VERY smart, absolute sweetheart and we no longer have a mouse problem. We got him from the local SPCA and he had been returned twice. He was quite shy when we got him but he is an absolute suck these days and most definitely a mommas boy. He will jump up on a table when he wants grooming and will even pick the brush. he is such a handsome boy and oh my, that tail.....
I do NOT have a Maine Coon, but I would not be surprised to learn my big boy has some family ties to the breed. He's not long haired or lynx eared, but he's big boned, affectionate, loyal, smart, and relatively tolerant to baths. He doesn't like them, but he won't go ape the way most cats do. And if I'm taking a bath, he is very curious about the water. Wants to sniff, put his paw in it. And he definitely does the chirping and trilling thing.
The biggest negative (I've had 2 for a decade)......they tend to sniff every single thing you bring into the house. There are certain sniff-items they get attached to, and will to great lengths to 'hide' them.....or present them to you several times a day. On the positive side, they try awful hard not to hurt you (believe me....if they wanted to....they have the capability to send you to the ER).
I have a male Maine Coon kitten that, despite being almost 5 months old, is so small he's just about a handful. He was the runt of the litter and after he was fully weaned, I fostered him to provide the one on one care he needed to catch up with his siblings. He put on so much weight so fast, has so much energy and is really thriving. But his rocky start has delayed his growth a bit, yet he could potentially get as big as the males in this video. I can hardly believe it. But I think his not-so-great start in life combined with neutering, might determine his ultimate size. He's old enough, but I'm just waiting until he's big enough for the big chop. :P
Start teaching him now, with baths, brushing and walking on a leash. He will love you for that. Start feeding him natural or homemade meals rice chicken, lots of protein. You can teach him to sit, beg, roll over, and talk they love to talk. He will be around you either in the back ground or next to your legs when walking, if you cry he will come and stand by you to see what's wrong and look for who hurt you. They love most other animals, but they search for prey so no birds or frogs and such. Regular check ups with regular shots are all.they need. You will rewarded with Love, dedication, and a long life could live to 25. Be careful people will try and steal him. He could be worth up to $2,500. So be aware. He will love you 💖 the rest of his life and since you hand raised him you are more then just a mom to him. You are very lucky to own one you will never regret it. Many happy years ahead.
They're addictive, they snuggle into your heart, when they leave, it breaks your heart. With the overload of fur, you could make money selling mittens. They are high maintenance, always running you to the store for goodies, toys, and catnip. They talk all the time, and they expect breakfast on time. Oh, what's not to love!
I had two Maine Coon cats-Niles and Daphne. Daphne loved to splash water at Niles, and Niles loved to play catch. Daphne trilled and chirped and was very vocal. Niles didn't say much, but when he did ,he said it loudly. Daphne lived to be 16. Niles got out of the house, and I never never found him. I miss the both of them. When I am ready for another cat, it will definitely be a Maine Coon.
A friend of mine from the US brought his Maine Coon girl when he moved countries and we had one of her kittens for over 15 years, shame that he didn’t live longer, like his mother he died quite suddenly right after Xmas a couple years back.
I have a maincoon cat he is a mix breed his name is Monte he is a really cool cat he loves to open closet doors plays fetch with me also growls like a dog he is so cool.
Viking means/suggests a genetic relationship to the Norwegian Forest Cat. That beautiful cat in the open has a face very much like the forest cat. Gorgeous felines!
I think the Norwegian Forrest Cat is the largest domestic cat breed. The current record in 2022 is a Rag Doll from Texas in height and length. -just sayin
I really want a maine coon kitten but I can't afford to pay the huge cost and now that my husband is disabled it feels like I will only be watching them on youtube. I have almost been scammed 3 times so I am really checking it out. is there a kind soul who will gift a main coon kitten to a caring person? my 4 year old kitty-boy left me two years back from kidney failure. I'm missing my fur baby. a main coon seems like the perfect fur baby I love their face and big paws. I smile when I see them every time. Please think on me and gift me this sweet maine coon fur baby. Thank you. Mama T
I think I had a Maine Coon years ago. He was a very long bodied and long haired cat with a huge head. When I walked him on a leash people Would ask what kind of cat is that?
Wow, that's lovely. you can still get another one, same breed. That's for your comment, we really appreciate it. Please subscribe to our Channel and share
I have two mixes I think have this breed in them. One is short haired but he’s about 30#’s. The other is a red point Siamese x. He doesn’t meow, he chirps. They’re both quiet and affectionate.
My two Mainecoon cats are opposites lol One dosnt meow or trill or chirp much unless there’s food or I’m in a different room lol and the other one trills whenever she takes a step lol. We joke that she makes a sound effect for each movement XD
Whoever wrote the copy was exactly correct! Wow, someone who knows what they are talking about on the internet! A president has been set! The bar has risen!
We adore kittys and we just recently rescued a little tortoise shell. We have been searching for an minecraft for months and I really want to rescue but finding one close by is so hard. But we have a while before we look again.
Most Maine Coon cats do NOT have six toes. However, it is more common in Main Coons then in other cats. Most likely it's a evolutionary trait and the larger paws help them walk on snow more easily.
Get one as soon as you can!!!! The best Cat in the World. Brushing once a week is good enough. This breed are smarter then dogs. You can train them and they learn quick. If you get young start giving baths, and walks on a leash they will love you for it. Mine was 9 years old when someone stole him I miss him everyday and am looking for another in all local shelters. It is the only cat I will ever own after him. Space give them levels high cat trees or shelves on the wall. Feed them the right food and you could have a cat to live 23+ years.b they shed twice a years during the changing is season spring and fall. Just brush twice a week during this time. They are worth the money if you buy from breeder. Just please make sure to check their licensed, and check Bob no deposit till you see their home and breeding ground. TIF is a license is a must. Good breeders will have started the shots and have clean areas for this cat. They are easy to training better smarter then dogs. You own one you will never want any other breed, and will love them till they die. Now please Note people will steal your cat so don't just let them roam free they may not come home because these cats are expensive and very moveable like stolen property the thief can get good money for stealing your cat they did with mine and I never saw him again after 13 years I still miss him and still looking for another even a half breed would be lived in my home. Buy buy buy just be careful when buying. Keep a look out at shelters where you can get one or half breed for 200 bucks. Love love this cat
My Tortie cat seems to be part Maine Coon! I have to get her shaved twice a year, since she gets SO BUSHY in that time!! I can brush her everyday, but she would still get mats!!
I have a Maine Coon/Ragdoll... and he is the grumpiest asshat on the planet when it's raining, to the point I know he thinks it's my fault, as he hates getting wet... or when he comes back in, I know it's raining cos he comes straight for me to get dried off... meaning I get very wet too XD
It is horrible that just because a cat fancy association doesn't approve of polydyctal Maine coon cat: the result is that the poly genetics are being bred out. Keep them natural. Keep your cat amazing. If the cat has a genetic anomaly love the cat. They don't have a clue that they are diffrent. Shame an these outlets saying a feture of a cat is not wanted. It is genetics so love what you got.
I had a cat that had some of the traits of the Maine coon as like the long hair and tortoise shell markings and she was big and she lived 17 years but was told she was an American curl
I am from the central part of New Jersey and I am interested in finding adopting or purchasing A Maine coon kitten/cat. I love cats and I’ve had them for years. But I’ve never owned a maine coon cat. Where can I find one in my area?
I rescue cats & discovered 1 mum with kittens I rescued was part main coon they where beautiful, then a Yr later rescued a mail part main coon he's now my shadow & loves me to bits, he likes to lay on my chest but due to his size can only stand it for short periods 😂
Love our beautiful baby girl!! Her so smart and laid back. I mean she is very intelligent! Majestic and you should see her in Predator mode.. WOW, so blessed to have her as part of the family.. and her is called 🍑! 💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡
Genetics Savings & Clone. Hahahahaha We have Maine Coon mix (2 of them). We love them, but 1 gets in all of the drawers and steals. Particularly hair bands. Don’t you believe him when he says they don’t meow loudly! They scream loud enough when 1) it’s food time. 2) they want a treat 3) they want to play. But they are sweet enough they bring their choice of toy and lay it at our feet before they meow. :-D They know their mind Ps. They are currently hanging out the top Louver window of my 2nd storey bedroom window eyeing the garage roof next door, having never been out yet. They are getting fixed on Friday. :-/
Hi Terry, are the make and female? Could you please tell me the color of their coat? I really need a very loving cat and I’m convinced now the MC is the breed I’ll go for but also know the color also can determine if the cat will be sweet. I really appreciate it if you reply. Thanks 😺

I had one boy many years ago. The sweetest most beautiful tender and loving cat I've ever had. They are gorgeous!
I love my Maine Coon, Ozzie. He's so big & chirps like crazy when I come home.
I bought three Maine Coon kittens. They are so adorable. I just love them.
They are sweet
I want one or two as well. May I ask; what kind of prices should I expect to pay ?
I just bought two from Europe, wow are they exotic.
I simply think Maine coon cats are absolutely beautiful. The more I learn about them, the more I want one. One of these years.
They are sweet
If I could have one wish before I die, I want to have a Maine Coon cat companion someday. But for now, I'll enjoy my time with my current cats 😻❤
I want to live with a Maine Coon. As I took care of my friend's coon cat for 2 months and fell so in love. So I'm looking for one now for myself.
Don’t know where you live but there is a breeder in or right around Sanford, NC. They raise registered show cats if that’s what you want or you can agree by contract that they will be spay/ neutered and not bred. These are wonderful people who take excellent care of their cats.

Having two Maine Coon boys, I gotta say, grooming is very needed for their long, thick coat.

Sounds like you were adopted. Lucky you!
Ours just passed away. Rusty was born in 2004 and lived until 2023. Best buddy ever. Everyone loved him.
I was lucky enough to rescue a calico Maine Coon cat, Stella, and she trills all the time! She is 11.3 lbs. and I love her.
That's good of you, Thank you
I was just blessed with the main coon cat hes 5 years old and he is the sweetest thing that I've ever owned my little Lucy a Persian Orange cat died and here a week later Mr. Teddy arrived in my life the older lady couldn't take care of him anymore so he was given to me He is the sweetest thing ever such a bundle of joy
Thank You SO MUCH for ADOPTING 🐈😸💕
I have 4 Maine Coons. Two are Polydactyl are two are not. I have had 9 others total. I actually had a furniture delivery man saw my largest boy and he ran out of my house and got into the truck and even locked the door. As if Stormie could have opened that door. House doors, yes, he can open those but not a big truck door. He asked me how I got permission to keep a Bobcat as a pet. We laughed so hard at this guy.
This guy played with my Rottweiler but ran from my Maine Coon. I still laugh about that.
Big beautiful cats I love cats in general
My "Lion" is Maine Coon/ Norwegian Forest cat. He is so handsome with his smaller face and ears. He is a character. He does funny things, chirps and thrills alot. Never meows. He is my first cat I've had that does. I love it. I love our conversations. When he wants something he comes and sits by my side. His eyes tell you alot. Mine wags his tail when I ask him a question. This is extremely important when he's sick as it's very hard to tell because normally they go and hide. He will tell me what's wrong; body aches, cold, sick at tummy etc.
He loves being outside, but I have to watch him when he's out. He is not a fighter at alI. I love him very very very much. He's my big toes.
I just love their look... they are too beautiful... gotta get me one or two..
Sassy Girl was a silver classic tabby. She was the size of a cocker spaniel dog. She trilled and chirped when she was watching birds(wild turkeys) were her favorite pasttime as was being brushed. Sassy was chatty especially when my hubby brought her along to pick me up from a long week of work. She loved to go for rides. She was soooo sweet and adorable.
My wife and I got lucky when we were able to adopt a female Tabby Maine Coon 5 months ago she is so fun and we enjoy her more and more with each passing day!❤🎉😊
Gentle Giant? My monster boy is all purrs and trills until he decides to eat forearm.
When we purchased my daughters cat from a friend we did not know hecwas a Maine Coon until the vet saw him one day. He is very unique in a beautiful way which fits all traits of a Maine coon.
I just got my mom a Maine Coon because her Husky is now living with my brother and she is the sweetest most explorative of our cats! I have 4 DSH and only my female took to her! She acts like her mother! At least one of my cats is polite! Thank you for this information!
I miss my baby boy so much. The best cat I ever had. When I am able I want another one, I miss him so much.
We have had our Maine coon, Crowley, for over a year has has never hissed or been aggressive once. Amazing kitty
I have a 2yr old calico Maine Coon, she has such a funny personality and always tries to join me in the shower. Before her I had a sweet silver Maine Coon that would chirp and trill in conversation with me all day, she passed at 14yrs old in 2020. I had people report me to the leasing office of my apartment complex a few times because they thought she was a bobcat!
I've always believed Maine Coons stem from the Norwegian Forest cat (Ship's Cat) the Vikings brought to the Northeast of America. Many of them have the same extra claw and the ear tuffs. The Vikings used those cats onboard their ships because they were great mousers, great company, they had the claw to grip onto a moving ship, and they have the ability to climb masts (and trees) much more easily than other breeds. They will climb down a tree face down, while most cats back down from a tree. If some of those cats were left in the wild, they might have bred with other cat species or evolved on their own to become the Maine Coon. Very handsome cats!
That's true, thanks for your comment, very educative
They love their mice! Our are great hunters and play with it too! We live in an older home so we get them!
Yes, mixed with Bobcats!
@@gunnarkvinlaug9079 I believe so as well Gunnar. At least interbred a few times during all those years.
My picture is our Maine Coon Sheba when she was about 4 months old. She's 15 months now and weighs 14 pounds.
She talks to me constantly but doesn't say much to my wife.
I had a sweet orange and white cat who I still love. He was the best, most loyal cat. He behaved more like a dog. I do not care where he came from. He was a great companion. He was loyal to me right up until he died, and an excellent hunter. RIP.
I had two Maine Coon cats 35 years ago and I still miss them. Your video was extremely informative and brought me back to the days when they were still around.
I am glad to hear the cloning co. Went out of business!
I took in a little feral/stray that is so obviously all or part Maine Coon. They're amazingly intuitive, intelligent curious, very active, do like playing with water, (mine are not so fond of going fully into the water, but love playing with it), very vocal (mixed blessing 🙉), very prolific, and not the breed for people who want quiet docile little couch potatoes, although they do like to snuggle when they're calm. The kittens sound like little birds. 🥰
My son has a Maine Coon named Spunky. I absolutely love him. I’ve always been allergic to cats and I have asthma but he doesn’t bother me at all. He’s so sweet and a bit of a clown. ❤️🥰
I have a chocolate, interesting to know they don’t breed them, he’s gorgeous! Black brown with a gray and red chest. Oh...chocolate Siamese?
My Maine Coon mix died abruptly and in heartbreaking horror 6 days ago. The only warning that something was wrong was her gradual loss of appetite and unusual thirst for water (she rarely drank water) in her last few days. She was a wonderful, sensitive & sweet pal who followed me around & usually got up on the bed for purring cuddles, including the night before. She was also a beautiful Tuxedo with long, fluffy plumage on her chest & tummy, and the cutest 'masked bandit' face. I loved her a lot, so her bizarre sudden death devastated me with a lasting impression of her brief ordeal of intense pain. I'd rescued her from a feral existence over 5 years ago when she was 11 or 12 years of age (according to the local animal rescue), so she was about 17 and her expiration date was due. She looked young & health though.
Aside from being heartbroken, I was struggling to understand what happened to her. I found out that Maine Coons are especially vulnerable to a gene mutation (A31P) that can cause Feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This likely caused Miss Kitty to have a heart attack and sudden death. It was *over* in less than about 5 minutes. For viewers who want to adopt a Maine Coon, a test for this gene is available, which I highly recommend.
In retrospect, I ask myself if I want another kitty. I now plan to adopt another Maine Coon Tuxedo in a few months, and this time I'll adopt a tiny kitten! The Maine Coon breed seems to be wonderful; sweet, friendly, charming & beautiful! Since I'm almost 74, she might just outlive me!
Sorry For your loss, Please try and get a replacement
If you do, please please please make accommodations for your new kitty in your will if something happens to you. I am 70 and volunteer at Blue Bell Cat Sanctuary in Laguna Beach, California. Nearly half of the 40 residents are there, many of them "chauffeured" from across country, because their loving owners died or were no longer able to care for them.
Also, I wanted to say I am inspired by your willingness to bring a new animal companion into your life. I am 70 and thought it might be too late to responsibly adopt a cat. Good luck!
Hey, thats exactly how my baby died!!!! She lost weight during the last few months and she was always drinking water but she was almost 20 years old so I thought it was just old age. She was still eating, playing going to litter box on time. She was in the kitchen, she started walking in circles, then she meowed real loud and fell. I held her in my hands as she passed. Im a big tough looking dude and I was absolutely devastated. Cried like a kid for 2 days.....ugh!!!!
Simkinetics,
First of all I am so sorry for your loss. I've had several cats succumb to old age or cancer. It is never easy. If there is any blessing to this, your kitty did not suffer for weeks or months. Registered M/C breeders test for HCM and other genetic dangers, hence the pricey sales tag. When one adopts a cat from the shelter or rescues a cat off the street, future health issues are a crap shoot and there is always that risk.
I am your age and applaud your willingness to share your love and your home with other kitties. Make sure you have a "legacy" plan in place in the event that you cannot care for them. Me, while I am waiting to get my own forever home and get a maine coon or two, I petsit and volunteer at a cat sanctuary in Laguna Beach, CA. Good luck to you and your future furbabies!
I just turned 70, and had the opportunity to adopt a Maine Coon. Before doing so, I asked my daughter if she would take care of the cat if I kicked the bucket. The answer was a resounding "Yes!". Kahlua is now 2-1/2 years old. She naps on my desk while I work, and sleeps in my bed. MCs are wonderful cats!
I’m looking at a 5 year old that I believe has main coon in her. I love their size and how cuddly they are.
I now have my second main coon and he is 2 1/2 years old. My first one lived to be 22. I had read in several places that it was the Norwegian forest cat who nearly became extinct in the 1950s. And that they used the main coon possibly to bring them back. I have also read that it was probably the Vikings who brought them here about 1000 years ago and ships Katz, making them now native to North America. Regardless, they are intelligent, inquisitive, and a great companion.
Vikings came to New Foundland between 900 and 1100 CE. New England was established in the early 1600’s CE. Wonderful cats!
I always wondered why my cat didn't meow like normal! She does the chirps and trills as well instead. I compare her little noises to Marge Simpson (the little grunmbling noise she does when she's mad at Homer) 😆 it sounds exactly the same lol
He's so soft ........ loving ......
Our girl Una from Slovenia is a special special girl. She chirps all the time. Such a gentle giant.
Saying that Maine Coons don't require much grooming maintenance is false and dangerous. They DO. Maine Coons are prone to deadly obstipations from injesting their fur and nor being able to pass it. This can lead to necrotic intestines and death. You must maintain your Maine Coons coat. This includes regular brushing, bathing, hygienic shaves and lactulose (prescription) or other regular hair ball laxative like Cat Lax. Vet Tech here, Cat Rescue Owner and Maine Coon owner.
We have a MC cross and he is asleep in his cattio at the moment. My wife and I have had many cats over the years but never anything like this guy. VERY smart, absolute sweetheart and we no longer have a mouse problem. We got him from the local SPCA and he had been returned twice. He was quite shy when we got him but he is an absolute suck these days and most definitely a mommas boy. He will jump up on a table when he wants grooming and will even pick the brush. he is such a handsome boy and oh my, that tail.....
My Bombay’s both trill and mini-meow just like that when they want something, usually a lap or a pet. Mostly when they want brushed out.
I do NOT have a Maine Coon, but I would not be surprised to learn my big boy has some family ties to the breed. He's not long haired or lynx eared, but he's big boned, affectionate, loyal, smart, and relatively tolerant to baths. He doesn't like them, but he won't go ape the way most cats do. And if I'm taking a bath, he is very curious about the water. Wants to sniff, put his paw in it. And he definitely does the chirping and trilling thing.
They are the most friendly cats I ever had, foster. I have 2 rescue ones, and I'm in love
The biggest negative (I've had 2 for a decade)......they tend to sniff every single thing you bring into the house. There are certain sniff-items they get attached to, and will to great lengths to 'hide' them.....or present them to you several times a day. On the positive side, they try awful hard not to hurt you (believe me....if they wanted to....they have the capability to send you to the ER).
I have a male Maine Coon kitten that, despite being almost 5 months old, is so small he's just about a handful. He was the runt of the litter and after he was fully weaned, I fostered him to provide the one on one care he needed to catch up with his siblings. He put on so much weight so fast, has so much energy and is really thriving. But his rocky start has delayed his growth a bit, yet he could potentially get as big as the males in this video. I can hardly believe it.
But I think his not-so-great start in life combined with neutering, might determine his ultimate size. He's old enough, but I'm just waiting until he's big enough for the big chop. :P
Start teaching him now, with baths, brushing and walking on a leash. He will love you for that. Start feeding him natural or homemade meals rice chicken, lots of protein. You can teach him to sit, beg, roll over, and talk they love to talk. He will be around you either in the back ground or next to your legs when walking, if you cry he will come and stand by you to see what's wrong and look for who hurt you. They love most other animals, but they search for prey so no birds or frogs and such. Regular check ups with regular shots are all.they need. You will rewarded with Love, dedication, and a long life could live to 25. Be careful people will try and steal him. He could be worth up to $2,500. So be aware. He will love you 💖 the rest of his life and since you hand raised him you are more then just a mom to him. You are very lucky to own one you will never regret it. Many happy years ahead.
They're addictive, they snuggle into your heart, when they leave, it breaks your heart. With the overload of fur, you could make money selling mittens. They are high maintenance, always running you to the store for goodies, toys, and catnip. They talk all the time, and they expect breakfast on time. Oh, what's not to love!
❤❤❤🐈🤗😸❤❤👏
I own a Maine Coon cat , is so cool cat to own
I have a 3 yr old Maine colon and he is the best and loving cat I've ever owned , when he is no longer with me, I will stick with the breed.
I had two Maine Coon cats-Niles and Daphne. Daphne loved to splash water at Niles, and Niles loved to play catch. Daphne trilled and chirped and was very vocal. Niles didn't say much, but when he did ,he said it loudly. Daphne lived to be 16. Niles got out of the house, and I never never found him. I miss the both of them. When I am ready for another cat, it will definitely be a Maine Coon.
My Maine Coon was my best friend. I miss him very much.
Ooh, please get another one. Thanks for your comment, we really appreciate it. Please subscribe and share
My Maine Coon will be 17 years old this year! When he was little, he used to jump into the bathtub with my daughter and walk around lol
Cats very wonderful and very nice and very beautiful and very happy 🐈😻👌👌👌👌
A friend of mine from the US brought his Maine Coon girl when he moved countries and we had one of her kittens for over 15 years, shame that he didn’t live longer, like his mother he died quite suddenly right after Xmas a couple years back.
I have a maincoon cat he is a mix breed his name is Monte he is a really cool cat he loves to open closet doors plays fetch with me also growls like a dog he is so cool.
Viking means/suggests a genetic relationship to the Norwegian Forest Cat. That beautiful cat in the open has a face very much like the forest cat. Gorgeous felines!
I think the Norwegian Forrest Cat is the largest domestic cat breed. The current record in 2022 is a Rag Doll from Texas in height and length. -just sayin
I really want a maine coon kitten but I can't afford to pay the huge cost and now that my husband is disabled it feels like I will only be watching them on youtube. I have almost been scammed 3 times so I am really checking it out. is there a kind soul who will gift a main coon kitten to a caring person? my 4 year old kitty-boy left me two years back from kidney failure. I'm missing my fur baby. a main coon seems like the perfect fur baby I love their face and big paws. I smile when I see them every time. Please think on me and gift me this sweet maine coon fur baby. Thank you. Mama T
I think I had a Maine Coon years ago. He was a very long bodied and long haired cat with a huge head. When I walked him on a leash people Would ask what kind of cat is that?
That's Lovely, Maine Coon are adorable. Please Subscribe to our channel
I had an American shorthair red tabby cat was dog like,too. He was a big sweet and friendly cat. At his heaviest was 20 pounds.
Wow, that's lovely. you can still get another one, same breed. That's for your comment, we really appreciate it. Please subscribe to our Channel and share
I had a maine coon named ginkins. He was a joy
Behold … the king finds his throne with so regal a proclamation: “Mow row!”
hahahahaha, he is a king in the feline world
I have three of these cats, two being polydactyl.
I have two mixes I think have this breed in them. One is short haired but he’s about 30#’s. The other is a red point Siamese x. He doesn’t meow, he chirps. They’re both quiet and affectionate.
My two Mainecoon cats are opposites lol One dosnt meow or trill or chirp much unless there’s food or I’m in a different room lol and the other one trills whenever she takes a step lol. We joke that she makes a sound effect for each movement XD
That's interesting, are both females? please subscribe to our channel and share
Whoever wrote the copy was exactly correct! Wow, someone who knows what they are talking about on the internet! A president has been set! The bar has risen!
We adore kittys and we just recently rescued a little tortoise shell. We have been searching for an minecraft for months and I really want to rescue but finding one close by is so hard. But we have a while before we look again.
Most Maine Coon cats do NOT have six toes. However, it is more common in Main Coons then in other cats. Most likely it's a evolutionary trait and the larger paws help them walk on snow more easily.
Get one as soon as you can!!!! The best Cat in the World. Brushing once a week is good enough. This breed are smarter then dogs. You can train them and they learn quick. If you get young start giving baths, and walks on a leash they will love you for it. Mine was 9 years old when someone stole him I miss him everyday and am looking for another in all local shelters. It is the only cat I will ever own after him. Space give them levels high cat trees or shelves on the wall. Feed them the right food and you could have a cat to live 23+ years.b they shed twice a years during the changing is season spring and fall. Just brush twice a week during this time. They are worth the money if you buy from breeder. Just please make sure to check their licensed, and check Bob no deposit till you see their home and breeding ground. TIF is a license is a must. Good breeders will have started the shots and have clean areas for this cat. They are easy to training better smarter then dogs. You own one you will never want any other breed, and will love them till they die. Now please Note people will steal your cat so don't just let them roam free they may not come home because these cats are expensive and very moveable like stolen property the thief can get good money for stealing your cat they did with mine and I never saw him again after 13 years I still miss him and still looking for another even a half breed would be lived in my home. Buy buy buy just be careful when buying. Keep a look out at shelters where you can get one or half breed for 200 bucks. Love love this cat
Thank you for telling me more about the main coon cats that I didn't know about that I haven't heard in the main coon cats. Web sites
Thanks for your comment
Just love to own a smart cat that has dog like attributes, independent but training-able and loyal
My Tortie cat seems to be part Maine Coon! I have to get her shaved twice a year, since she gets SO BUSHY in that time!! I can brush her everyday, but she would still get mats!!
I need one!
Fuzzy is a easy ct t love n very playful
LOVE MY SIAMESE BREED, I THINK MAINE COON BREED WOULD COMPLIMENT MY FAVORITE BREED ❣
I've had 2 MC's now & neither were/are polydactyl.
I have a Maine Coon/Ragdoll... and he is the grumpiest asshat on the planet when it's raining, to the point I know he thinks it's my fault, as he hates getting wet... or when he comes back in, I know it's raining cos he comes straight for me to get dried off... meaning I get very wet too XD
2:57 That's my Stella. She was feral when I got her. Check her out on my channel
It is horrible that just because a cat fancy association doesn't approve of polydyctal Maine coon cat: the result is that the poly genetics are being bred out. Keep them natural. Keep your cat amazing. If the cat has a genetic anomaly love the cat. They don't have a clue that they are diffrent. Shame an these outlets saying a feture of a cat is not wanted. It is genetics so love what you got.
I had a cat that had some of the traits of the Maine coon as like the long hair and tortoise shell markings and she was big and she lived 17 years but was told she was an American curl
I am from the central part of New Jersey and I am interested in finding adopting or purchasing A Maine coon kitten/cat. I love cats and I’ve had them for years. But I’ve never owned a maine coon cat. Where can I find one in my area?
Would LOVE to hear Maine Coon Chirps and “trilling”…. Have no idea what “trilling” is.. can you do a video of the sounds??
I love MC,but the kitty hair
Maine Coon is a wonderful breed. Thanks for commenting, we really appreciate it. Please subscribe to our channel and share.
Ah yes. This Khajit is pleased with this content.
You lost me when you said that you should own one. I got my first cat in 1966 and I can tell you this, you don't own a cat, it owns you.
I rescue cats & discovered 1 mum with kittens I rescued was part main coon they where beautiful, then a Yr later rescued a mail part main coon he's now my shadow & loves me to bits, he likes to lay on my chest but due to his size can only stand it for short periods 😂
i love how matter of fact this video is
I have 3 maine coons they are large and in charge
Maine Coon is a sweet breed. Thanks for your comment, we really appreciate it. Please Subscribe and share
I have one. Hes floofy and meows all the time lol
😍😍😍
I've always thought they were the result of a male lynx or bobcat breeding with a domestic longhair female.
Love our beautiful baby girl!! Her so smart and laid back. I mean she is very intelligent! Majestic and you should see her in Predator mode.. WOW, so blessed to have her as part of the family.. and her is called 🍑!
💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛🧡
Genetics Savings & Clone. Hahahahaha
We have Maine Coon mix (2 of them). We love them, but 1 gets in all of the drawers and steals. Particularly hair bands.
Don’t you believe him when he says they don’t meow loudly! They scream loud enough when 1) it’s food time. 2) they want a treat 3) they want to play.
But they are sweet enough they bring their choice of toy and lay it at our feet before they meow. :-D
They know their mind
Ps. They are currently hanging out the top Louver window of my 2nd storey bedroom window eyeing the garage roof next door, having never been out yet. They are getting fixed on Friday. :-/
Are these cats safe to own for a beginner... Also what about warm weather 36°C
Vikings in the 1700s? :D
Norwegian Forest Cats are also big and long haired though...
We love ours! They sit on our laps and lay in our bed. Always with us! Affectionate and they do meow to get us up in the morning! 😂
Hi Terry, are the make and female?
Could you please tell me the color of their coat?
I really need a very loving cat and I’m convinced now the MC is the breed I’ll go for but also know the color also can determine if the cat will be sweet.
I really appreciate it if you reply. Thanks 😺
Male and Female. Cameo poly and she is a blue tortie.
@@terryobrien388 thank you! What is Cameo?
A color
