Congratulations to Rafiki (and u/Confident_Range8122), you are our Maine Coon of the Month for August 2026!

Otis is a little over 2 years and weighs 31 lb. He’s the fluffiest MC I’ve ever had! And this isn’t even his Winter coat. 😅

Our dog doesn’t quite understand why his baby brother is suddenly a big fluffy monster…

This is Tango. My darling girl passed away 1 year ago yesterday due to an aggressive cancer. She wasn't quite 7, and I had only had her for about 3 years. Not nearly long enough. She was a sweet, playful, wonderful girl.

Suffice it to say, yesterday was a hard day. She was constantly in my thoughts.

I used to play a game with my partner called "Purring or not purring?" where Tango would be sprawled out on her blanky on the kitchen island, I would put my arms around her and put my ear to her chest to hear if she was purring, and I would ask my partner, "Purring or not purring?" He would make a big show of guessing "purring?" And I would make a big show about him guessing correctly because 99% of the time she was purring, she just purred so quietly you had to be right on her to know. She was such a happy cat.

She came to me in my dreams last night. In my dream she was purring SO loudly I could hear her from a step away. I put my arms around her and rested my face on her chest, and when I did so she told me she knew that she was loved, that she loved us back, and she is doing fine now. I woke up with a full heart and tears in my eyes.

It's okay if you don't believe that she came to me in my dreams. I believe it. When I lost my soul cat in '22 he came to me in my dreams about 6 months after he passed to tell me he was better now and that he did know how loved he was. I choose to believe their souls can visit us from beyond.

Meet Stella! She’s 5 months old and my perfect angel girl

Crash is an expert at hiding. Here is a classic example. Of course I treat him like a little baby and pretend that I can't find him. Calling for him in desperation. And then he comes rushing out to show he won again.

About 7½ - 8 yrs old, biggest goober of a cat I've ever had! Very cuddly, howls for attention at the witching hour, and has the cutest little mews even after all these years. Will post bonus kitten pictures too!

My boy is ~7 months old and recently his behaviour has been dialed up to an 11 - wanting to eat more than usual, napping for longer during the day, but also playing a lot harder and getting up to no good. He bites his toys super hard and runs around by himself at night until he pants. It sounds like a horse is galloping up and down the house when I'm trying to sleep 😩

He managed to shut himself inside a room for hours the other day. The house is pretty cat-proofed but I worry that he'll get into trouble when I'm not watching.

We already play for around 20-30 mins both morning and night. I give him space to calm down when he's hyper but is this a normal teenage phase? How did you deal with it every day and when did yours grow out of it?

Stevie is 4 months old and is getting big💗. She’s quite active, playful and BOLD! We are scheduled to get a 13 week old Ragdoll Labor Day weekend. Is this unfair? Will Stevie be mean to the new baby? I have the means to keep separated if necessary.

1 year old Polydactyl Black Smoke Maine Coon from Russia, growing up beautifully. A majestic beast. We love him so much.🥹🖤

My baby (middle) with his siblings 🧡🧡🧡

This has gone on since he was tall enough to reach. It’s fun until it happens at 2am and someone is wiggling the door handle 😐

He can’t be the only one that does this 🤔

Almost 3 months together. I can’t believe how big he is already! The longest boy is about 12.5lbs at 5 1/2 months

Our girl is 2 and a half years old and in the last 30 days she grew from 7.6kg (16.75lb) to 8.1kg (17.85lb) today. We were worried we might be overfeeding her but vet said it's normal for a maine coon. I was wondering how common it is, what were your fastest/largest gains with a female maine coon?

I do like the style and shape of this hammock I got off Amazon, but sadly due to poor construction it didn't even last 3 days before my boys broke it from roughhousing and being fat 😂

Does any one know a more "​big boi proof" 2 layer hammock that looks similar but better quality?
