We got a Maine Coon cross from the SPCA and he had been returned to the shelter twice. He is by far the sweetest cat we have ever had. He is just slightly smaller than a full Maine but he exibits all of the features and traits of the MC. Smart and a prodigious hunter. We live in an old house and mice have always been a problem. Not any more. He has caught lots in and out of the house. Oddly we can let him out and he will stay in either the front or back yard or just lay on the front porch. And he has the TAIL. Glorious tail. He has his own language and communicates very well just what he wants or where he wants to go. All in all an amazing animal. He was yelled at in his last home and hid for a week when we got him. Now he sprawls anywhere and will come and get one of us when he wants to be groomed. We are in our 70s now and have had lots of cats but our black MC is truly a most remarkable animal and a delight to be around.
My son & i were adopted last year by the best , smartest ,biggest cat ever! . She either 1/2 Maine Coon ( Vet says ) , however , she has the fur , markings ,patterns , & types of hair as a N.F.C. . We dont care , she has the coolest , confident personality , & at nearly 20 lbs , the frame to back herself up ! She great , & very spoiled now. I even put her on my YT channel !
I have a black Mainecoon. See my videos if you like. He's gorgeous and the best kitty ever❤❤. Blessed Be
My baby is so attached to my husband and me...we have no children but our buddy Snoopy is like a dog...cries when we leave him alone too long...fetches toys...he's 10 now and adopted him at 5 months old....just so much love
Recognizable :)
I am fostering a Maine Coon who had been very badly mistreated and rescued by an animal group. He hid for two months, coming out to eat and use the litter box only when he was certain no one was around. I sat in "his" room and spoke softly to him and he finally came out and watched me from a safe distance. Soon after he would sit near me but always "on alert." Finally, he came close and I spoke to him softly and then was able to pet him. Now, he stays close to me day and night . I have his complete trust and he is beginning to accept my visitors . Today a breakthrough: he allowed my brother-in-law to pet him! I couldn't be happier. I am hoping to get him adopted.
My mainecoon hates my alarm he will meow and try to turn it off himself, so adorable
The only thing my MC really hates is a closed door. Doesn't matter if she really wants to be IN the room, she just needs to know she CAN get in if she wants. Also, strangely enough, I finally got her to go outside, but she doesn't really want to. Weird.
My 2 Coonies are the opposite of what you tell! Una took her medicine without any trouble afther she got neuterized and Wasabi comes to us to talk and if he wants us to play with him, well he brings his favourite toy for the moment and show us to throw it so he can bring it back. Una loves to watch when i vaccum clean, 🤣she sits always on the spot i need to clean and i have to "push" her gently away, Wasabi got used to the vaccum cleaner but the hair dryer scares him. And more smaller the place to hide, the more they love it, no idea why 🤷🏻♀️cats! 🥰
Dixie luv my walker .I keep in unlock she luvs to do dishes .She hears me in the kitchen. SHE WILL JUMP ON MY WALKER . AND RIDE ACRSS THE FLOOR LIKE A SKATE BOARD. NEVER A DULL MOMENT. WITH HER. She will b 2 in December. And it's hard to mop floor she grabs my mop it's a game with her. A service man came to the Door .She goes to the door like a dog and ck out who it is . Mam u don't need a watch Dog .u have a watch cat she growled like a pit bull. SHES MY ANGEL
I know aren't they a mess Dixie think when I sweep or mop it's playtime. So smart to learn her name when she was a baby we played peek a boo. I hide and she come find me .Now when she wants to play she will hide and when I come in the living room she jumps out . I m a widow and my landlord only let me have one cat she will b 2 ln December.

Nelson, my tabby Mainecoon of 11 months, is living with me in a spacious apartment in a Spanish old town. He’s completely indoor and enjoys to be on the balcony to watch the world go by. He follows me around the house but retreats a few times a day to be on his own. He often seeks attention and loves cuddling but only when he wants it. He does not like to be groomed. As a matter of fact every 3 weeks I take him to the vet to have his nails cut and have him groomed even though I do brush him given the chance.
I KNEW our rescue of 13 years now, Alex, has some Maine Coon in him! He certainly isn't purebred, white fur with grey patches, missing ear tufts and has shorter inner-ear hairs, but all the other signs are there, the green eyes, long bushy tail and fluffy paws, and, he *always* greets us with some kind of noise when he sees us.
He hates street cats, they trample on his turf, the neighbors' cats all stay in their own lane. Otherwise he is just about the most tolerant / laid back cat I've ever seen, even puts up with dog people holding him like a baby (on his back) instead of a cat lmao.
Do not think he hates anything, but he likes head butting me, forceful head rubs, and likes to look mean when he attacks my arm very violently, but is very careful, and licks me fast afterward, and he is happy for the time. Does live in very small quarters, but does well. He seems fearless of very large dogs, or other cats. But he does not like loud mortar rounds or fireworks during 4th of July or New Years. Think it also hurts his ears. He knows what I am thinking always, but if destressed he comforts me, and shows great concern. My third one, he is the best, love me very much.
My Maine Coon, Rumplestiltskin, is psychic, and will come to me if I concentrate on him. He likes listening to Willie Nelson and watching Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries. Thankfully, he will eat his dry food after he has consumed all his wet.
No one has mentioned how much they use those big hairy tails to flip on you, flip in your face, and curl around you, especially when they are being cuddled and petted.
True. I had forgot that. Lucky did that. RIP, angel.
My Maine Coon meows and leaves the kitchen when I clean out the dishwasher. He dislikes the clanging of dishes and cutlery. He love to be scratched around his chin and ears but will try to bite me if I comb or brush his fur. He growls if somebody knocks at our door or rings our doorbell. He’s a great mouser and catches them when we have him outside on his leash.
Omg,Last Year Our Baby Was A Year Old,I Was Sitting on The Bed Playing On FB One Morning Before Work,and She Had Been Fed And Was Playing Back And Forth..So I Thought..I Have Never Seen A Mouse In This House Of The 13 Years Weve Lived Here,But I Had Sat There A Good 1/2 Hr,She Came In Beside Me..Then Left.When I Looked Back Over About 10 Min Later,Laying Among The Things I Had Laying There,Keys,Cig,Lighter,Remote..Was..A Dead Mouse..I Almost Died😂😂😂And I Know Im Not Calling My Own Peers To Come Get Me When I Have A Heart Attack,lol..I Love Her So Much
Something to keep in mind, a compound pharmacy can turn some medicines into a cream that can be applied to their ears. I think it works best for sedatives
My Main Coon LOVES to get into cardboard boxes. ( the smaller, the better.) He also hates it when I go into the bathroom. He scratches at the door and meows until I let him in.
I had a maine coon that when it was time take him, to the vet I had to put my gloves on . I knew it was going to be a battle to get him in the carrier
I had this battle today, 10 minutes later I finally won!!
Haha both of mine get in the carrier on their own! They love it. And they love the vet, they love to show off 😂
I invite all three of you to start looking at "Simon's Cat" on the internet.
My coon loves his collar and bell. He was so proud when he got it. Just like the dogs, he had a collar with a jingle
I have a Maine coon and tabby she is so smart she is a mess . . DIXIE. was given to me from my daughter and granddaughter for my birthday . She is beautiful . When I feel bad she s watching over me . She shake my cover like a human . She will put her paws up on my bed and make sure I'm OK. I got tickle with my daughter she's a tabby kitten she was three months her paws and tail were bigger than her. I knew she s a Maine coon . Also . Been a blessing to me . They adopted her from Pet Smart
Hmmm. My two Maine Coons hated them and could figure out how to remove safety collars within a week or two. I have found the collars outside, not only in my yard but other places. It is worthwhile just getting them chipped immediately. I tried to use the collar for two purposes: identification and bells to warn birds. As they got older, they didn't bird as much but I would still find the occassional baby snake.
A tip I learned from my vet was to crush tablets and mix them with cream cheese, it works a treat
Thanks for the tip!
Humm.....cream cheese.....I hadn't thought of that. It would work with probiotics too.
Cream cheese is not good for kitties!
They are lactose intolerant.
Great idea, wrong disguise.
@@rickrigby6994 that small amount to get medicine down won't hurt.
@@rickrigby6994 people used to say they wanted to come back as my mom's dog, because she constantly fed the dog chocolates, which is said to kill a small dog.
Our Maine coon laid sound asleep just three feet away from me while my shop vac and router was screaming, and no, she's not deaf or hard of hearing.
My Maine Coon had antibiotics once and she thought they were treats, she’d take them very happily if you held them out to her!
I have a male Maine Coon that is 2 years old. I've only had him 2 months and he already comes when I call his name. He loves to be brushed ie entire body. Loves to be pet and follows me around like a dog. He's very sweet and wakes me up every morning by pouncing on me. He doesn't like playing on his own or with interactive toys. He demands that I play with him. He will lead me to his wand toy, look at it and then at me. Doesn't like loud noises or new people. Favorite pasttime, watch the birds. He's not a lap cat but likes to sleep next to me and he enjoys being held when I'm walking around. Doesn't bite or scratch me and uses his scratching pole. I hit the jackpot when getting this cat. He really is wonderful.
I've never had to give him medication so I don't know how he'd take it. He's also very neat with the litter box, shocking due to how big he is ie 20 lbs. I'm considering leash training him but I'm on the fence about it. He's never been outside and seems to have zero interest in going out. Any comments about that?
I’m wrestling with taking my Maine Coon out on a leash and harness after 10 years of total inside life. She’s not a door dasher and I’m concerned she’ll become one once she knows what fun is on the other side of the door. However, I feel like she deserves to have more experiences in her senior years. Like you, I’m on the fence.
My female Maine coon 10 month old kitten only wants to cuddle occasionally - when she wants to cuddle!
I'll be getting one to accompany me on my travels across Canada and the USA, going on big hikes and camping, will be living in a 170 sprinter. Feel like as long as I let him out every day like a dog, no issues
My two are absolutely fine in a small apartment, and love getting into tight spaces, and handle medication with zero issues. Loud noises and music doesn’t bother them and being indoor only cats isn’t an issue for them either. They’re happy inquisitive little girls who love their cosy home 🥰
Good advice.
Sabot, my 14 y.o. male is a master manipulator, way too smart but still plays like a kitten.
My Snoopy is a ten year old orange and white and still playful as hell!! Glad to hear you have a 14 year old and still going strong! I dread the day...best manipulator ever!!!
Yup. Master manipulator. I have had lots of other cats but the manipulation is on a scale unto itself. Part of it is that you must adhere to all of the little rituals or you won't be left in peace. And, no matter how old, they still play like kittens except that at a certain pint, catch and retrieve of balls became just catch.
MY COON never stopped crying to go outside. Like 20 times a day. Once he snuck out, with near disastrous results. He was unusually attached to my mother, and he sulked whenever she left the house.
My Maine coon goes outside with my dogs and will even scratch at the door, and then comes to the door and meows until you let her in, she also has attachment issues to the point I cant even go to the store without her screaming her head off til I get home, but she has never scratched anything besides her scratch board, and she'll even lead me to in if it gets slid under the couch
Our MC male Buddy will come and get one of us to either go outside or sit with him in our glassed in back porch often referred to as the cattio. He is not a lap cat but seems to enjoy our company and follows my wife around the house like a puppy. We are SOOOOOO happy someone returned this handsome fella to the SPCA. He is NOT going back. He is far too precious to us and has stolen our hearts. We are so lucky to have him.
I love Maine Coons. I used to have one, but he ran away when living with my sister -- and he never had come back. I feed a Maine Coon cat in my grandparent's neighborhood and this is very recognizable to me, since he jumps when he hears sudden noises. He obviously has a home, but he has taken a liking to me.
I heard Maine Coon has bob cat and lynx in them is that true
my maine coon is stricktly indoors so afraid of her going out and not coming back,but she has a screened in lanai and cat bcondo to climb up and jump down
Thank God Dixie only goes to Door she never run out and I'm not able to go after she listen good
OMG, I had a 1/2 Maine Coon for 20 years and I've never seen any animal that hated medicine so much! No suggestion helped, ever, but he was the best cat too!!!
I only have 1 hour of work per day so a mainecoon is one of the few big cats I am able to care for.
Also, IF you own a mainecoon and have no time for it, you can get other one so they can become friends and hangout that way
I wish I knew of these cats a dozen years ago. Would've got one when my Dad was around, and nephew and niece were children and always over on weekends. Now just doesn't seem convenient anymore.
Yes I have 3 years old. They love being handled. They have a lot of toys to keep them busy. They never scratch me. They are sisters from same litter. 16 and 18 pounds. Sabrina and Olivia.
They follow me everywhere and get in to everything. I rescued them from a owner that was put in a nursing home and had to find them a home. They do eat a lot the vet says they are still growing.
Such sweet cats 🐈
My Maine Coon hats the smell of onions and wants to go outside as soon a I cut unto one. I try to keep strong cooking smells such as onions or garlic to minimum now. I've been trained!
I agree with most of this!
I think our Freddie ( SPCA rescue cat) is quite a big part Maine Coon, he is loving , vocal and very independent too! he HATES to be locked in our house - 3 stories , 2 decks and 3 litter boxes! - he's just been real sick and boy does he 'yowl'.it is pitiful! Hates being put in the carrier to go to the Vets. During recuperation he had to be brought inside off one deck as the neighbours were getting upset! Freddie is a gentle giant : sees dogs off 'his' property.I adore him and he knows it. he 'marks' me every morning and 'bites' my arm too :>) :>)
I Maine Coon would enjoy my house. I have at this time a 40‘ x 25‘ cat yard with a tree in the center (which the limbs are about to be trimmed because of escape route which happens every year) I’m usually available for attention, and I have one cat that thinks he rules the house and tells me when I have to go to bed or if it’s time for me to sit down so he can get in my lap and take a nap. The only part of having a Maine coon is the time I would have to spend with him. Because it’s a full house, he would have to share me. Your situation is change it is a possibility.
I plan on moving in about two years or less. It’ll be designed for cats and dogs to have their own space and of course a larger cat yard with more interesting construction inside and possibly more than one tree, or one, as large as this black walnut that they don’t have a playground.
I have post traumatic stress syndrome, and sudden loud noises are very hard on me …. Especially screechy of young children, that are old enough to know not to do this. But the parents seem to encourage it. I have a difficult time going to some restaurants because of unruly children absolutely no manners all the way up to adolescence.
I sold my house but I loved and was my dream house because of the neighborhood teenagers and their boom box cars that are not modulated correctly and have unwanted vibration. The kids have no idea. Even some that I’ve been installed extremely well, the children that have these things, regardless of their age, have no concept on how to tune it and use it. They also have no consideration for others. Yes, we have a laws about these sounds that are impossible to enforce.
I lost my Maine Coon boy at just three years old. He was, I thought, sleeping right next to me, like he did for hours. Even though he had been tested for HCM as a kitten, it is what he died of. The vet said he wouldn't have felt a thing. He just went to sleep and didn't wake up.
Sorry for your loss 😞
mine is a Norwegian forest cat often mistaken as a maine coon but even if they say they're friendly my male likes being alone he'll only come to me if there's no other spot to rest at
or he'll cry when he wants something of course but not talkative.
but he does get stressed when put in one room and loves to try to dominate other rooms that he's just not allowed to go in frustrating sadly my family :/ I love him but he can be a handful
he also get's agitated very fast and for some reason will lunge band bite and hold onto you especially when angry. I've tried to engage him in play before, many times actually, he doesn't care for most if all of his toys by now always getting bored of them after a few minutes. unless it's both catnip and feather cause he very much loves feathers to lick
I don't blame him either since he's only 3 and always stuck inside, yes I have a leash for him but he always thinks he's going to the vet when I pull it out so he'll run and hide.....
he's pretty stubborn but I do love him all the same. just wish he was more affectionate and knows that I'm not trying to hurt him and just trying to do things with him.
since I did try to bring him outside once, since we have a gate around the backyard. just everyone fears that he'll get loose but thing is one honk or seen of a car and he wants back in the house being afraid most of the time
I'm hoping as he get's older he'll mellow out
as a tiny kitten he was easier....he loved to play with any toy and he loved to stay by my side and even at my desk would sleep by my feet....can't say he does that anymore
than again these are his angsty teen years....I'm hoping as an adult about 5 yrs he'll return to his once friendlier side that he had as a kitten
About the tight spaces and small appartments thing... Would some of you Coone owners confirm if offsetting this by bringing the cat outside in harness and leash or stuff like that help on that point? I'd love to have one, can't afford a large home, but am willing to train him to go outside either on a leash, on my shoulder or in these sort of bubble backpacks. Thoughts on these? Thanks!
Our Maine coon is a diva. She thinks she’s the boss, but there is one things you absolutely don’t do is touch her tail. Get anywhere near her tail she growls hisses and bites. Other than that she’s lovey doves kitty s long a she gets her way😻

The beautiful black kitty looks like my Winky Peaches. No, her name is NOT in a raunchy way! She was named after my best loved kitty ( born when I was 8 years old) and was named Peaches when I adopted her.

My Maine Coon hated Charlotte Church. She would stomp out of the room when I played the album.
My Maine Coon hates when I touch his paws. I just want to examine all those little toes (Mr. Stinky has 13 on one foot and 10 on the other). The other cats love when I massage their little feet, but not Mr. Stinky. He will bite me every time. LOL. However, he will roll over and make me rub his tummy. He loves to devour mice and other small rodents, as well as groundhogs. He once landed on the top of the roof of my house. I don't know how he could even get there. He has been a joy to me ever since he adopted me 12 years ago. What a guy.
My Maine coon kitten is afraid of my older cat (9 yrs. ). He accepted her after a couple of months & lots of TLC for both cats. Lately he has started to lick her, then tries to bite her, not playfully. I absolutely love my 10 month old little ‘girl’, & feel like reforming my older cat because he is so jealous & possessive, & a bully. Any ideas? I
My maine coon, Jasper is a cute little guy (runt) but he is a bully, bossy and incredibly intelligent! I’m quite sick and when I go to hospital, he is so neurotic! He also screams at me from another room lol. I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!
Maine coons for life 💕💋xxx💋💕
I had one passed away from old age 2002/2016 passed away of old age
As soon as I wake up in the morning I have to feed my Maine and then after she eats then I have to give her a message and scratch her head then she follows me around the house until I leave for work she is a handful but I love her
Mine would not go outside for anything. Just touching the door would make her run off.
Wish I had one. Would love having it around the home. I have one kitty who's not affectionate at all never had a kitty like him but I still love him and sneak in kisses. Funny thing he loves to lay on my bed close to me but it last for a minute or so. I'll rub his head for a couple of seconds and off he goes. My. Bailey❤💌
If your cat hates medication, I recommend the thundershirt compression device. Get them used to it before using it to calm them for taking meds.
Regarding number 2: my Maine Coon didn’t want anything to do with going outside.
I am not fund of you what you claim in relation to Maine-Coons. I am saying this because I have to Maine-Coons myself and both of them are very independent although they come to me for afection, soon they take off to do whatever is that they were doing. They are very quite cats look for a place to rest and lay down.
My Maine Coon is 18. She hates the Border Collie. She does like the Lab. Definately hates the Border Collie.
They also hate taking baths and water
My Maine cooon gets scared when I take him outside
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mine is IMPOSSIBLE to be treated with any medication
My Maine coon hates me he bites scratches and hates to be picked up he won’t eat or drink he’s used to my housekeeper helping me since I have arthritis so when she feeds him he will eat. I’m thinking of re homing so disappointed my other two were not this way this one came via Ukraine and was sick since the day I got him. Help he is registered as my emotional support animal I need help!!!!
My Maine Coon would eat around the medicine even liquid
Maine Coon Cat
WELL I DON'T HAVE A MAINE COON CAT YET
My Maine Coon hated videos about what they hate.
🌚
The last one is garbage, my old female MC would seek out tight enclosed spaces every time there was a thunderstorm.
That’s because she is trying to get away from the noise. It’s important not to expose them to loud noises.

The correct term is "lap fungus".
