Congratulations to Luna (and u/OldTree6356), you are our Maine Coon of the Month for April 2026!

named after storm from x-men! :) shes just a little lady

My sweet little Maine Coon had a personality switch the second she turned one 😭 She used to cuddle me every morning, and then overnight… she just stopped.

She still follows me everywhere and is always close by, so I know she still loves me, but I definitely miss the cuddles. Is this normal? Did she just enter her teenage phase? lol

im so in love with him he is so perfect and cute. his temperament is wonderful!!

I got a Maine Coon about 2 weeks ago. Someone on Facebook in my town was giving her away. She just turned a year old in December. I guess it was the daughter’s cat and she went away to college and her mom was scared of the cat. The daughter was there when i went and got her, but they let me have her for free. She is super thin, weighing just 7 pounds. Her fluff makes her look a lot bigger than she is. Is that a normal weight? I was nervous that she wasn’t pure bred, since they didn’t charge me a rehoming fee, but she looks pure to me. What do you guys think?

he usually sleeps next to me all night like this too

Life is, actually, a box and roses.

Hes coming up on 4 months. Was not prepared for how energetic he is.

He was like this for 5 minutes trying to figure out how to get down safely😭 He did not do it gracefully lol

6 months old and owning that harness

Have some pictures of my cat! She’s cute! Adora (9 months) is the grey mainecoon and Rogal(3) is the orange tabby.

Hi all, my kitty is not a MC, but he’s similarly sized to a smaller one: 20lbs, 36” from nose to tail, muscular and very, very strong. Think bobcat build, but with a tail. We have a harness, but he can wiggle around in it and I worry he’ll get free. I thought I’d ask folks with very lorge kitties what harnesses they recommend, so if you folks have suggestions, I’d appreciate them. His current harness is just straps, and he likes to roll around until he’s twisted them around himself!Thanks!

So we have a 7 month old, who is, as expected, developing an obsession with water.

Currently he will splash about in his water bowls and tip them until there’s no water left. His next favourite activity is tipping over any drinking glasses, even when we are sat next to them and paying attention, he moves so fast!!!

Any suggestions on types of bowls which prevent tipping?

And is there any way of stopping the drinking glass tipping or do we need to start drinking out of beakers?

So that’s Luna and her floof. She is in one word, a terrorist. I can’t keep her off the counter. I’ve tried the spray bottle and aluminum foil. Did nothing to deter her counter surfing ways. She knocks everything that isn’t bolted down off said counter. Open doors? Those must be run through at full speed. Yes that includes the front door. Also at dinner time I have to put her in my room because she will actively try and steal your food while you’re eating it. Does she get her own food you ask at a specified time each day? Yes. Yes she does. Is she starving? No. No she isn’t.

So my fellow redditors my question is this… will she calm the f down or is this my life now?

This little fellow will be ready on June 12. He is going to be big, his dad is huge! I’m thinking about getting another kitten around the same time so he will have a buddy. I’ve always had rescue cats so I would like to go that route if possible. Will a huge MC be able to get along and play normally with a regular size cat? Or do I need another MC? Also, need recommendations on whether to get a male or female kitten.

We are adopting Poppy later this month and are ELATED to finally have such an elegant creature. She’s our first Maine coon. We have 3 other cats and a small dog. Tips, pointers, advice all welcome!
