This handsome boy is my Maine C**n/Russian Blue mix! While he's not as long as Lotus he is still a whopping 20 lbs!! The bigger the fur baby the better the cuddles!! 20171203_1...a9facb.jpg

We have a Maine C**n, Mr. Bailey, He weights 30-35 lbs and is so lovable. He was rescued by our son in law 12 hours before he would have been put down. He is a great cat. Mr-Bailey-...b46cc1.jpg

I have a Maine C**n as well, though he's not nearly as big. His name is Butter. PBOOD9c1-5...8d5df5.jpg

I have a gorgeous pedigree 3 year old Maine c**n the same colour, called Orson. However, although he's an adult and fully grown, he's smaller than the average pet cat. He was the runt out of a large litter of 14 and 1/5 of the size of his brothers and sisters. The breeder neglected him, didn't advertise him or anything and just by chance we visited her house a few hours before she was going to "humanly dispose of him" (read break his neck and kill him) I was sat on her sofa when I felt this little brush of fluff against my ankle and picked him up. He was tiny and could sit in the palm of my hand! He snuggled up on my chest and his piercing blue eyes engaged with mine. I asked her about him and why she never mentioned him and she explained his size, how he wouldn't get money that the others would and thus her plan and I told her I would pay his vet fees and take him with me. He's one of 5 cats I have and I'm sure he knows I saved him that day.

That cat is so beautiful I want to cry

Looks sooooo cuddly.

Beautiful cat. The ruler of my house is a 20 pound seal point that looks like a midget next to Lotus. I'm a sucker for cats and think it's impossible to have one to big or to small.

I love Maine Coons. I love the way they look. I love their attitudes, which are very dog like. As a dog person and a fan of adopting (you don't see many Maine Coons in shelters), however, I will probably only ever be able to enjoy them from afar. Lotus is an especially gorgeous example of the breed.

Oh, what a beauty! That is one gorgeous, massive fur-ball!

Wow, gorgeous cat! A friend of my parents' has three of them; they were insanely expensive, she has to brush them every day and they wrecked some of her furniture when they were younger. I still would love to have one (but my cats are rescues so I can't see it happening).

Maine Coons are the most loyal cats out there. I miss mine every day.

First of all, let's make something clear. This is not a cat but a baby lion!!! ;-)

The cat looks more like a Norwegian forest cat.

beautiful.

Why am I so terrified?

OMG I hope this isn't one of those IF IT FITS I SIT cats. Looks more like If I SIT it'll FIT. I'll be looking for Lotus on the nest PBS cat documentary.

Beautiful!

Having cordoroy furniture with a long haired cat must be a full time job.

I fed and adopted a Cat from the forest

I thought my cat was big at 15 lbs....

What a beautiful example of this breed and so well groomed

I totally misread the title as, "Maine C**n cat shares photos of her owner" at first. I never knew these cats could grow so big - interesting article.

He's beautiful, eye candy. Huge!

I want that cat. Hand over that cat or I will self-destruct!! Now!!

where...where can i get one..

Maine C**n' s face's always look like they have seen some s**t and have great stories to tell.....beautiful.

Just a gorgeous kitty!

Resembles a miniature Tiger. Beautiful.

What an absolute beauty

LOVE!

They have that « big cat » quality in their face... :-). Very beautiful cats they are indeed ...

It is like having your very own mini lion in your house! What an amazingly beautiful cat he is! I've heard they have gentle and almost dog-like personalities too. Of course, I adore all cats so I may be the wrong person to ask. *L*

Stunning cat. Look at all that toe floof!

Yes, this is a big beautiful kitty, but the perspective chosen for the photographs make him look bigger than he really is.

Absolutely majestic. Beautiful. I wonder, what does he eat?

We had 53 acres and were animal people...we were given a Maine C**n...not this huge but it was big...it ran all over with our 2 Australian Shepherds. I intentionally had a bright orange collar on it so hunters knew it wasn’t a Leopard as it was marked just like one.

Where the rest of the photos?

HOW MUCH FOOD THE HECK DOES THAT THING EATS ????? It's gorgeous, but still, so huge....:)

what happened to the ladies face? its all weird? maybe the cat go it.

Awsome creatures but over-bred and overpriced. My cat - a rescue, was large and perfect champagne beige colouring to his long fur. We rescued him a second time when the pond was lightlyfrozen and covered with a coating of snow. We saw him investigating it and inching out onto it . I just managed to grab him by the scruff of the neck as the ice broke under him. Damm cats
