I live in Maine and have 8 coon cats. They all have very unique habits and catalities. Some are lazy, some active. Some love outdoors, others barely go out. Some are mischievous, some cause no troubles. Some are meek others are aggressive. I wouldn't take this video too seriously...
So youre just a “ Yeah theres some but not ALL women “ type of person. Sorry but I need a person with an opinion thats direct and that they stand on. Not this sometimes soft beta bullshit.
My big boy LIGER was like a dog he come when called and play fetch! I made the last one up! He was a shelter pet we adopted. We had Liger form the time he was 2 till he was over 16! I still miss him!
I miss my Maine Coon, she passed in 2014 at 16 years old. I rescued her from a warehouse I worked at when she was a kitten. It was 3 years before I found out what kind of cat she was. 19 lbs of sweetness, and a long cat. I miss my dog in cats clothes.
I live in a one bedroom apartment I’m with her most of the day and play she’s leashed walked daily so don’t let a small apartment put you off . As long as you have enrichment
Nope...the biggest draw back is they are too relaxed...way too chill. Our Maine Coon got rain over bc it would just lay in front of cars and would not wake up if it was sleeping. It was horrible...we loved him so much. If I ever had another one...we would keep it inside or on a leash.
Sorry to hear that, mine is anything but that, she's ok with me and a few others, I've actually started calling her el chupacabra lol, she's ferocious, all of my neighbors have gotten attacked lol
My maincoon was 28lbs. My daughter was a premie. She would grab his tail and would drag her across the hardwood floors. He slept under crib. Had him for 18 years. Best cat ever
I wouldn’t take this video too seriously. I have a Maine coon and while he enjoys playing, he is obsessed with cuddles and wants nothing more than to sleep on your lap 24/7. He makes sure you know it. Not aggressive, freezes in place outside, hates water. Moral of the story is besides common health issues, every cat is different no matter the breed
I had a Maine Coon for 16 yrs. Got her when she was abt 5 months old. After a nasty auto accident moved back with my mom. Ms Brat included. One thing I did every night after I got home from work, I would give her treats. 3 of them. She'd be happy and waiting, for treats 1 & 2, but as soon as soon as I got #3 out of uts container, her ears went back and she got a disgusted look.on her face. She knew it was the last treat for that night. Mom OFC burst out laughing. 'That cat can count!" she said. And she was right. Yep. They're smart.
We have had a Maine Coon for about 5yrs now and there is NO downside. He is the sweetest boy and so well behaved as well as a real gentleman. Bonus is our mouse problems have ceased.
My Maincoon was a stray who found me , Jet black it’s the most beautiful green eyes . I had him for 6 wonderful years and lost him last October to a snake bite, I was not a cat person until My Enzo.
I have a malamute and this cat is exactly like having a malamute or even worse….a husky 😅 this would be a perfect match for us. I wanted to bring my cat with me everywhere as a teen but he was too small and house catty but it seems these guys would love it! I also live in a quite town in the Rockies! ❤
Miss my cat. She lived 15+ years. I fed her when I saw my in my backyard and she just kept coming back so I took her in over time. She was already a big cat the first time I saw her so I never knew her real age. She only loved being carried and babied by me. I was driving back home one time from playing basketball and once I turned into my street i saw something on the floor from a distance and I already knew it was my cat. She didn’t have one scratch on her. I just picked her up and buried her in my backyard. My favorite cat 🐱 🙏🏽
My Maine Coon cat gets daily zoomies. She's always my shadow, having to be in the same room with me. She has played fetch since she was a kitten. Downside is she is prone to fur mats. Oh, BTW, I think that's "catio" (rhymes with patio)...lol.
One serious con...once they take a scent-liking to something that might be important to you.....they will plot to seize and hide that item. I have one M=C that also does the opposite.....taking one single item that I hide, and this cat will seize via scent for an hour, to find it, and return it to my chair. Even goes beyond the room, to any room in the house....sniffing.
It’s pretty easy to sum up: A Maine Coon is more like a dog than any other cat breed. They want attention and are super fixated on their favorite human. You could rightfully say that they are in love 😻 What’s better with them than having a dog is, that they can roam free, which I absolute recommend. They shouldn’t be house cats, they are FAR too active for that! They are messy eaters and some require a sanitary shave of their fur to not get soiled. They have a standout personality indeed, they really care for their favorite human. And they can learn commands and fetch and stuff other cats are just not interested in. The Maine Coon wants to be part of your daily life, and you need time for her, like for a little doggy. They can also overwhelm other cats with their different and distanceless behavior, again, more like a dog than a cat. So a Maine Coon can also be a challenge for other cats. All in all, if you are cat experienced and have the time to share and to care, Maine Coons are AWESOME!
"They shouldn't be house cats, they are FAR too active for that." But, but, but...Main Coons are trendy, and I WANT one! Never mind that I live in a 300sf apartment on Manhattan, and I work three jobs to pay the rent, so I'm never home. It will get used to it, I'm shuuuuure. (I need to replace the Australian Shepherd I had for a while - he was a problem, and the pet psychiatrist said he had a personality disorder and needed therapy and prozac - and I don't share my prozac with ANYBODY.)
Very true I was never a cat person, but I had an ex GF that wanted a cat, I agreed after much begging, and when we went to the shelter to adopt the cat she wanted there was this big fluffy grey cat meowing at me through the cage. I had some beers with friends before going so I was a little tipsy and made the spontaneous decision that I wanted the cat meowing at me. Turned out it was a maine coon, and even my dad that hates cats liked her. That cat won me over and I still miss her.
@@AbsentWithoutLeaving Yeah, selfishness will sadly never die out.. hope remains that a Coon treated like that grows to 25 lb and wreaks havoc on that appartment as a revenge LOL
@@AbsentWithoutLeaving - An apartment can still work as long as you are aware that Maine Coone Cats need lots of exercise and mental stimulation. For example, when you are finished with work for the day, take your cat for a walk, etc.
Someone left a box of baby kittens by our back door. We adopted them all and the Mom. The first I had ever heard of Main Coone cats was when I asked the Vet if I needed to get the hair in their ears and between their paws clipped. I didn’t even know that they were larger than normal because I hadn’t owned a cat and knew absolutely nothing. People would see them and ask what I was feeding them to make them so big and then the tails started to expand and they got gigantic, much larger than the mom. Anyway they all lived long lives and gave me so much joy and my humanity. The adventures they got into as a group (sneaking a mop, coffee filters, a sewing box) upstairs to their lair for example. They all got along and were playful all of their lives. I will forever be grateful that somebody left that box of kittens and their Mom by our back door.
Who run the 🌎 Maine Coons 😆 🤣 😹 my cat is spoiled, playful, smart, mischievous but so sweet and independent. She has a big personality and I just love her!
I love my big coon girl when I lift her or she lays on my torso every night she takes up my ENTIRE torso you only see my legs and arms and part of my head sticking out from over her. lol Also I rarely pick her up anymore she's just too big and heavy for my Arthritis now. Also she's one smart cookie knows trick or commands like : Sit, Stay, Stand, Wait, Go back, Left shake, Right shake, OK, rug, come, Up, Lay down, Nose, Eye, Ear etc all things I taught her. At night she has a routine of laying on my chest when I get into bed she patiently wait for me to adjust my pillows, put my glass of water down next to me on nightstand pick what show I want to watch staring at me whole time waiting. When I am down and I lean back into bed she's gets on me lol LIKE CLOCK work! Anyways back to what I was saying I decided to make use of them time we are literally FACE to FACE every night (like inch's lol) and I started teaching her face parts. Pointing to my eye and saying EYE and then lightly tapping her eye and saying EYE. Same with nose, mouth, ear etc. My husband made fun of me saying WTF are you doing? I said teaching her face parts. He laughed and said she does not understand you, you know that right? DUH I KNOW she does not really know in ENGLISH what the word means but, she will understand the sound I say that sounds like EAR will mean her ear or my ear. So, been doing this every night for a year. This is how smart she is, she likes to reach out and paw my face you guys know what I mean too that affectionate let me lightly touch your face with my paw well, now when she puts her paw on my eye or mouth somewhere I do not want it. I say Daffodil plz do not put your paw on my eye and she remove's it instantly or don't touch my mouth plz, again she removes it. She is well aware I am using the word mouth or eye and reacts. SMART cats very!
I can confirm the issues with being destructive when bored, the high maintenance coat and especially the health problems: my first male Maine Coon suddenly died at age 3, an autopsy found HCM. His sister has hip dysplasia (although she still climps and jumps at almost 13 years now, I only know this because of X-rays taken when she dislocated her knee cap a few times many years ago). Another one had a rare fatal intestinal cancer at only 7. Both my remaining cats have bad teeth and inflammed gums, the vets says that is common for this breed. Treatment requires a lot of money, they need to be under general anaesthesia and due to their age each time I am a little bit more afraid that they will not wake up again. Well, to be honest, I am also afraid that they just drop dead at home for no special reason now.
I already have a small domestic 4 yr old fluffball, but next year I'm getting a BIG Maine coon fluffball 😁 spending a few months constructing things for him to climb first 👌
I have a half Maine Coon half calico and he's a trip He loves playing fetch daily and everything pretty much she said he is done and he does on the daily I left my Maine Coon best cat breed out there even though he's not full breed he's still very much Maine Coon
I live in an apartment. There’s an orange Maine coon mix I think someone dumped when they moved. It’s not chipped and no one seems to be looking for this cat. I was building its trust for about three weeks while searching missing pet sites and pages. When it came running up to me hurt. It’s at the ARL for vet treatment and hoping they have better luck finding the owners. But there’s no chip and it’s still at the shelter. It’s been there for awhile. I have VIP on adoption and they’ll probably going to be calling me tomorrow to pick this cat back up. It’s a girl and I dunno the age. But I figured I better get educated now. Because this cat choose my home and family, and I’m gonna make that happen it that’s what she wants.
I had a Maine Coon Cat Persian mix grey and white super long hair just beautiful, got her as a young feral barn cat took some doing getting the wild out of her.(Mindy Lou) Me and my Mom bled a lot that first year training her trying to get her tame lol.
We have one he doesn't like be alone fortunately I stay home and I don't go out much. He didn't like our tortoi she passed away last December and he bit her and we had to go to the vet twice for that. She didn't play much and she was deaf and she was tiny. We had a couple of cats who played with him sadly we lost all of them for old age and cancer.
I have a shorthair one too. Came in my yard in the country looking for food. Brought him in my house. Asked the neighbors but wasn't theirs. He is HUGE now. LONG body, very thick and long tail. Extremely CALM. Never fought with my other male cat. My cat growled at him. But he just stayed in the corner and ignored my cat. He still ignores him. Very QUIET. Sneaks up to me now and then and wants pets. Eyes are slanted. He looks Egyptian. When he's in the front room with me at times he will stand at the kitchen door and meow to go in the other room. He sits there until I let him into the other room. He really IS like a dog. I think he weighs 12 lbs at least. He almost too heavy to pick up. He has a strange meow more like a chirp not like other cats. He only makes that sound when he wants to go in another room. He's gray and black like a striped tabby, but his markings are DIFFERENT not like other cats. I think he's a main coon, but not sure. He's not like a normal cat.
My main coon didn’t climb his new tree for a few hrs because he couldn’t figure out how and he likes playing in water but not baths lol he has random spurts of energy which then he will randomly start bouncing off walls 😂🤣
I love this cat cause a friend of mine got on a tour and I’m feeding and caring the cat. It seems so cool and relaxed, always allows me to pet it and is very relaxed and cautious when playing with me. I like it cause I’ve never met a more dog-like breed of cat than this one. I am looking to get one but I need your advice. I’ve never had a pet and I was always a dog person cause of the nature of the cats. I’ve always loved cats but couldn’t get ok with their temperament. I want to have one of those cause of their appearance and behaviour. Is it hard to have this cat in an apartment and is it good for people with little to no experience with pets? I want to take care to one of those sweethearts but I don’t know if it will be easy for someone as inexperienced as me. Thank you in advance! Ps I live in an apartment, not so big but big enough for the cat I think.
Yeah go for it ! As long as you take them on walks it should be ok . apartment or not u just have to be energetic with the cat and play or u can search up more videos on the maincoon if your not so sure!. 😊
I owned one, a 19 pound female Maine Coon in a small apartment and it's all good. Think of a dog wearing cat's clothes. They bond with you and a lot of them, if not all, always want to be with you. They do need to be brushed a lot, but well worth the effort. I was a dog person, but my rescue Maine Coon cat changed my mind and turned me into a cat person.
Guys please help me decide here.i and my sister are going to 5th grade next week but the thing is if I get a maincoon,I won't really be able to do alot other than show some affection and a bit playing after school and my parents are mostly busy,so should I get a short-haired or a maincoon?
MC owner here, these cats look all majestic and shit, so people are like, yeah, sign me up for the big, awesome concrete kitty. Let me warn you that this video is the most misleading one I have seen on this breed. They are no different than any other cat. You have a 60-40 chance of living with a complete asshole except this one is huge, and they not only scratch with a lion-size paw, they bite because they are big enough to do that. I had one who passed recently and he was a doll baby. I swear this cat could say hello in better English than most teenagers and was loveable beyond what I could describe; his name was Ozman. Well when Ozman went to the rainbow bridge we got Zoe and she is not. She hates being pet, she hates being near people, she hates dogs, other cats, the TV, the carpet, box springs, cat toys, dog toys pretty much everything. Everyone thinks satan has hell hounds but they are wrong, he has Maine Coons from Zoe's family.
2:57 why on two of my favorite cats? I guess I’ll have to solve this problem, too (kidding, but I will if it’s not solved in the future and I progressively get interested in biology).
Can you pls note out ones you think it’s important since you one plenty of them already cause am thinking of getting one Maine coon and 2 rag doll and am a student too thank you
@@_hm-te7pg cats do well in pairs as long as you introduce them well. If they’re siblings, even better bc they will already have that sibling bond. I have two cats that are littermates and they are precious. They are 4 years old now and doing very well.
@@ferninthehouse Wow they are grown so much, and actually what I want you to tell me is what should I get personally I wanted 2 rag doll and 1 Maine coon those two breed are my fav cause of their bond with Human and how large they grow buh now you said two is good as started so that I could give ‘em enough attention was thinking which one you’d prefer me to get, Two Maine coon,Two Ragdoll or One Ragdoll one Maine coon.
Brush brush brush. I've had cats all my life, but the grooming is totally different with a Maine Coon. You have to brush a few times a week. My MC has a cottony fur texture and it gets matted really easily, especially under his belly.
The cheapest pure bred I've heard of around here is $1,000 neutered. I think it's highly doubtful that someone would pay thousands of dollars for a purebred Maine Coon and then let it breed with alley cats.
@@sandarahcatmom9897 not to be rude, but you’d be surprised what people do with their pets. Sometimes people even move away and don’t even bother taking their pets with them.
@@sandarahcatmom9897 my grandparents had a cat show up at their house. They already had one Maine coon and the second one turned out to also be a Maine coon. They looked very similar too. They has those two cats for a long time and they didn’t pay an expensive price for either of them.
Not true, we have a Maine and got a baby Sphynx and the Maine cannot stand her and always hisses and it’s been a year and they are still no buddies🤷♀️
My granddaughter and daughter. Surprise me with a bundle of fur , her paws and tail was s o pretty. .I don't think this is just a Tabby cat .I looked up on my tablet and she said Nana u r right that cat is very smart and got good taste in music Dixie luvs Elvis she will lay near the sound bar .lol and won't move to music over. I give her the perfect namrre Dixie . I notice she jealous of Duchess she is a ginger kitten I'm not aloud to let her in the house .She edisray about 5to 6 Mos and I been working with her She so small .And I been praying and Fri. S he let me pet her stomach. And she rubs a gains t my leg . Dixie don't like mom t as king care of 2.kittys . I'm trying to find another place that likes cat s ent had that msny. My Dixie get eenear the front door she is scared to go outside . I have never seen a cat. Do that . T o calm her down I will rock her and she would get settled. Been doing that since she was a baby she will turn 2 in DEC . U ALL HAVEA GREAT WK. MAY GOD B WI T H U ALL
You say they're smart, but why does mine keep running into walls when he's cheating dust bunnies, and why does he think he's a dog Still he might be stupid, but I love hem
Just a suggestion…slow down your delivery and especially your tone. You sound like you are jacked up on sugar and caffeine. It isn’t a pleasant experience for the viewer.
is a 62 square meter apartment too small for one maine coon and 2 regular sized cats? i'm moving to a bigger apartment in the city and can finally afford a maine coon bc of my camgirl work. i'll also work from home obv so i'll have a lot of time to play with it, etc. and i could buy a big cat stroller, so i can transport it to a more quiet part of the city and walk it with a leash.

His sister has hip dysplasia (although she still climps and jumps at almost 13 years now, I only know this because of X-rays taken when she dislocated her knee cap a few times many years ago). Another one had a rare fatal intestinal cancer at only 7. Both my remaining cats have bad teeth and inflammed gums, the vets says that is common for this breed. Treatment requires a lot of money, they need to be under general anaesthesia and due to their age each time I am a little bit more afraid that they will not wake up again. Well, to be honest, I am also afraid that they just drop dead at home for no special reason now.
It could be what your feeding them. Mine was 16, and still had perfect white teeth and no gum disease.
I have 2 of them. They're my cute babies i love them sm. There's no con about them, they're the best
I already have a small domestic 4 yr old fluffball, but next year I'm getting a BIG Maine coon fluffball 😁 spending a few months constructing things for him to climb first 👌
As a owner of one maine coon cat, hes not very active but rather more sleepy.
I have a half Maine Coon half calico and he's a trip He loves playing fetch daily and everything pretty much she said he is done and he does on the daily I left my Maine Coon best cat breed out there even though he's not full breed he's still very much Maine Coon
Mines is a calico Maine coon rag doll
male? i read correct, Ur calico mix is a male?
@1fashionbliss could U please send a pic of Ur Ragdoll main coon cat thank U
I see no negatives here 😂. If you want a pet, expect to do ALL THESE THINGS! This breed or others! 😅😊.
And I want one so bad! ❤
No option but to play with kitty... i want it Lol
I adopted a maine coon kitten. I called him Sky. I found him on the streets.
I wish I can come across a Maine coon In the streets.
@@_eddie710 me too lmao
So cute and adorable ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh boy do I have a prank in mind after I heard of this cat breed.
First! Beautiful cats 🐈 😻
Third!! 😜
They are!
I’m going to get one in black and name it Umbreon 💯💯💯
I live in an apartment. There’s an orange Maine coon mix I think someone dumped when they moved. It’s not chipped and no one seems to be looking for this cat. I was building its trust for about three weeks while searching missing pet sites and pages. When it came running up to me hurt.
It’s at the ARL for vet treatment and hoping they have better luck finding the owners. But there’s no chip and it’s still at the shelter. It’s been there for awhile.
I have VIP on adoption and they’ll probably going to be calling me tomorrow to pick this cat back up. It’s a girl and I dunno the age. But I figured I better get educated now. Because this cat choose my home and family, and I’m gonna make that happen it that’s what she wants.
I got a question does a mix cat that has a bit of Maine coon still do an the stuff in this video
I had a Maine Coon Cat Persian mix grey and white super long hair just beautiful, got her as a young feral barn cat took some doing getting the wild out of her.(Mindy Lou) Me and my Mom bled a lot that first year training her trying to get her tame lol.
We have one he doesn't like be alone fortunately I stay home and I don't go out much. He didn't like our tortoi she passed away last December and he bit her and we had to go to the vet twice for that. She didn't play much and she was deaf and she was tiny. We had a couple of cats who played with him sadly we lost all of them for old age and cancer.
I like the rough nature of the American Shorthair, but I want a Maine I t
Yea our Brutus is alll this yet a shorthair. We didn’t know he was mane coon till this year. We made him a catio loves to adventure….
‘❤
I have a shorthair one too. Came in my yard in the country looking for food. Brought him in my house. Asked the neighbors but wasn't theirs. He is HUGE now. LONG body, very thick and long tail. Extremely CALM. Never fought with my other male cat. My cat growled at him. But he just stayed in the corner and ignored my cat. He still ignores him. Very QUIET. Sneaks up to me now and then and wants pets. Eyes are slanted. He looks Egyptian. When he's in the front room with me at times he will stand at the kitchen door and meow to go in the other room. He sits there until I let him into the other room. He really IS like a dog. I think he weighs 12 lbs at least. He almost too heavy to pick up. He has a strange meow more like a chirp not like other cats. He only makes that sound when he wants to go in another room. He's gray and black like a striped tabby, but his markings are DIFFERENT not like other cats. I think he's a main coon, but not sure. He's not like a normal cat.
i saw a short hair maine coon... pretty interesting my guess is a maine coon mix
What age should I go out with my coon? Mine is 3 months old
So pretty
My main coon didn’t climb his new tree for a few hrs because he couldn’t figure out how and he likes playing in water but not baths lol he has random spurts of energy which then he will randomly start bouncing off walls 😂🤣
I WANT ONE!
Best cat
I love this cat cause a friend of mine got on a tour and I’m feeding and caring the cat. It seems so cool and relaxed, always allows me to pet it and is very relaxed and cautious when playing with me. I like it cause I’ve never met a more dog-like breed of cat than this one. I am looking to get one but I need your advice. I’ve never had a pet and I was always a dog person cause of the nature of the cats. I’ve always loved cats but couldn’t get ok with their temperament. I want to have one of those cause of their appearance and behaviour. Is it hard to have this cat in an apartment and is it good for people with little to no experience with pets? I want to take care to one of those sweethearts but I don’t know if it will be easy for someone as inexperienced as me. Thank you in advance! Ps I live in an apartment, not so big but big enough for the cat I think.
I wouldn’t recommend a Coon as an apartment cat
Go for it!
Yeah go for it ! As long as you take them on walks it should be ok . apartment or not u just have to be energetic with the cat and play or u can search up more videos on the maincoon if your not so sure!. 😊
I suggest that you go to your local Public Library, sign out some books about cats, and read them first.
I owned one, a 19 pound female Maine Coon in a small apartment and it's all good. Think of a dog wearing cat's clothes. They bond with you and a lot of them, if not all, always want to be with you. They do need to be brushed a lot, but well worth the effort. I was a dog person, but my rescue Maine Coon cat changed my mind and turned me into a cat person.
Afraid of water I beg to differ my baby is afraid of the sink toilet and bath tub 😂
Guys please help me decide here.i and my sister are going to 5th grade next week but the thing is if I get a maincoon,I won't really be able to do alot other than show some affection and a bit playing after school and my parents are mostly busy,so should I get a short-haired or a maincoon?
Can you do pro and cons for American shorthairs?
Thanks for the suggestion, but the American Shorthair isn't on my list (anymore) :D
MC owner here, these cats look all majestic and shit, so people are like, yeah, sign me up for the big, awesome concrete kitty. Let me warn you that this video is the most misleading one I have seen on this breed. They are no different than any other cat. You have a 60-40 chance of living with a complete asshole except this one is huge, and they not only scratch with a lion-size paw, they bite because they are big enough to do that. I had one who passed recently and he was a doll baby. I swear this cat could say hello in better English than most teenagers and was loveable beyond what I could describe; his name was Ozman.
Well when Ozman went to the rainbow bridge we got Zoe and she is not. She hates being pet, she hates being near people, she hates dogs, other cats, the TV, the carpet, box springs, cat toys, dog toys pretty much everything. Everyone thinks satan has hell hounds but they are wrong, he has Maine Coons from Zoe's family.
How large is a large house !!? I live in a bubble wide mobile home (1550 sq ft)....big enough ??
4:39 ikr
Well, mine hates taking baths lol 😆
2:57 why on two of my favorite cats? I guess I’ll have to solve this problem, too (kidding, but I will if it’s not solved in the future and I progressively get interested in biology).
The doctors aren't smart enough
Having had 11 Maine Coons I do not think this this an accurate assessment of the breed.
Can you pls note out ones you think it’s important since you one plenty of them already cause am thinking of getting one Maine coon and 2 rag doll and am a student too thank you
@@_hm-te7pg start out getting one or two cats if you dont have any. dont get 3 cats at once. you probably wont be able to give them enough attention
@@ferninthehouse This actually make sense and thank you will do as you say.
@@_hm-te7pg cats do well in pairs as long as you introduce them well. If they’re siblings, even better bc they will already have that sibling bond. I have two cats that are littermates and they are precious. They are 4 years old now and doing very well.
@@ferninthehouse Wow they are grown so much, and actually what I want you to tell me is what should I get personally I wanted 2 rag doll and 1 Maine coon those two breed are my fav cause of their bond with Human and how large they grow buh now you said two is good as started so that I could give ‘em enough attention was thinking which one you’d prefer me to get, Two Maine coon,Two Ragdoll or One Ragdoll one Maine coon.
Any tips for the Maine coon? It’s gonna be my first time? And I feel like I’m missing something.. so basically anything that’s really helpful?💗
Brush brush brush. I've had cats all my life, but the grooming is totally different with a Maine Coon. You have to brush a few times a week. My MC has a cottony fur texture and it gets matted really easily, especially under his belly.
I just roll with it got one that needed a home asap from the previous owners
They love tearing ropes!
Get a carpet rake and a Le Salon dematting tool.
Best decision i made was to get one😍 he makes me love him more day by day
Is it possible to have a cat that may be part Maine coon?
Definitely. My cat is and the description is spot on for him. Plus he's bigger than my corgi mix, so there's that.
my cat is part maine coon
The cheapest pure bred I've heard of around here is $1,000 neutered. I think it's highly doubtful that someone would pay thousands of dollars for a purebred Maine Coon and then let it breed with alley cats.
@@sandarahcatmom9897 not to be rude, but you’d be surprised what people do with their pets. Sometimes people even move away and don’t even bother taking their pets with them.
@@sandarahcatmom9897 my grandparents had a cat show up at their house. They already had one Maine coon and the second one turned out to also be a Maine coon. They looked very similar too. They has those two cats for a long time and they didn’t pay an expensive price for either of them.
Claimed❤❤
But i have school for three jours is that to much or less or average
Not true, we have a Maine and got a baby Sphynx and the Maine cannot stand her and always hisses and it’s been a year and they are still no buddies🤷♀️
Can you do a video how to introduce a regular cat to a maine coon
Why does the voice over sound so familiar? Who is she??? 😁😁😁
Does she sound like the one from brightside?
You can always do immunotherapy to not be allergic to ur cat or any pets!
I loved our Maine Coon (Rufus). But he died suddenly at 4 1/2 years old of HCM. Wish I’d known to expect this sudden death.
They are not as hard as bengals or chausies but still a lot of work
They leave fur bunnies everywhere 😂
imo dont get a solo cat must get in pair thats why I got 2 saimese instead of just one.
I got two 9 1/2 years ago. They spar every day. Every single day. I'm certain that Lucas would have been fine as a solo cat.
@@sandarahcatmom9897 Get them neutered. They will Stop fighting
Me and my dad got 2 Maine coon kittens and I tried to introduce them to my dogs but they hissed at them anyone know how to get them use to each other?
Time - try, try again.
why does mine eat foam
pip: Boredom.
They also cost about 3,000.00 $ how did a outside cat had a cost alot 😮😮

My in laws had one for years, I never knew it’s real name because everyone just called him “A**h*le Kitty”. And he was…a real big a**h*le all right.
You say they're smart, but why does mine keep running into walls when he's cheating dust bunnies, and why does he think he's a dog
Still he might be stupid, but I love hem
Yes, I'm seeing *large* muzzles these days that make the cats look like ?werewolves. Maybe a little overdone. JMO.
"cay-shee-oh?"
ain’t no way she pronounced “catio” like that 💀
When you cant tell if the voice is AI or not
Well...I can tell you that this is 100% human voice. I know a loooooot of channels are AI generated...and I really hate the sound...
She said Cashio... catio like patio.
Did you actually pronounce catio, like "cayshio"? It's catio, like "cat-patio",..."catio.
Hate to break it to y'all, there are ZERO cons in owning a Maine Coon
Keeping up with all their fur that they mass produce can be a con.
@@thegreypath1777 not a con
Finally! Mine was awesome!!! Really good rescue kitty. And so LOYAL. Quite unusual for a lot of cats. I miss him so much.
Cayshios? Lololol, no.
That would be "catios." As in "patios for cats"
I've met bricks more intelligent than my MC. The bricks are more active too.
😂😂
Hahaha. I have one who's very lazy. The other one never seems to sleep.
You completely lost me at ‘cay - she - oh’
"cons it's a fucking cat pretty much"
Conflicting info from your previous video and I must say VERY poor info.
Just a suggestion…slow down your delivery and especially your tone. You sound like you are jacked up on sugar and caffeine. It isn’t a pleasant experience for the viewer.
Fckn wrong as there are no negatives. I had one for 10 years.
FALSE! There are no cons.
Horus: Keeping up with all of the fur that they mass produce can be a con, especially if you don’t keep up with it on a daily basis.
I love how most of the cons can be solved by having an outdoor cat! 😂 stop keeping cats inside!
capitalism ruins even cats? damn
You dont know how to pronounce Catio.
I hate this video. If the person who made the video would like to ask why they know how to find me.
Its all a ruse.
Kinda weird how the name is a racial slur but uh still a super cool breed 👍
....are you being for real, or are you kidding?
The man's last name that originated the name for the cat is Coon....
It is not a racial
l slur but short for raccoon. From where are you..?
Holy crow, i guess so, If you are racist.
They used to only be black and gray striped - resembled Raccoons.
I just killed one by accident. Ran it over. Threw the body in the dumpster 5mins before looking up this breed. Fig it wasn't normal. Thing was huge.
This woman’s voice is suicide-inducing
is a 62 square meter apartment too small for one maine coon and 2 regular sized cats? i'm moving to a bigger apartment in the city and can finally afford a maine coon bc of my camgirl work. i'll also work from home obv so i'll have a lot of time to play with it, etc. and i could buy a big cat stroller, so i can transport it to a more quiet part of the city and walk it with a leash.
Yes, I think that is too small for 3 cats.
Someone left a box of baby kittens by our back door. We adopted them all and the Mom. The first I had ever heard of Main Coone cats was when I asked the Vet if I needed to get the hair in their ears and between their paws clipped. I didn’t even know that they were larger than normal because I hadn’t owned a cat and knew absolutely nothing. People would see them and ask what I was feeding them to make them so big and then the tails started to expand and they got gigantic, much larger than the mom. Anyway they all lived long lives and gave me so much joy and my humanity. The adventures they got into as a group (sneaking a mop, coffee filters, a sewing box) upstairs to their lair for example. They all got along and were playful all of their lives. I will forever be grateful that somebody left that box of kittens and their Mom by our back door.
My name is caroline can i plz adopted 1 baby plz if you have my whatsapp no is 0661650225 plz
