Curious about Maine Coons?
One of the biggest questions I get as a Maine Coon breeder is: How long will it take for my kitten to get that glorious, lion-like mane? Well, that depends on a few things such as sunlight, nutrition, and genetics. But let’s be realistic it’s mostly genetics. Some kittens strut around with a mane right away, while others take their sweet time like a rebellious teenager refusing to grow a beard. The best thing you can do? Be patient. That luxurious, trademark mane can take up to three years to fully grow in. But don’t worry, it will happen. And when it does, your cat will finally have the regal fluff they were always meant to flaunt.
The second biggest question people ask: How big are they? Well, just like their coats, size can vary quite a bit. I like to explain it this way. Like any giant or large breed animal, the bigger they are, the more potential health issues they may have. So while everyone dreams of a 30-pound lap lion, the reality is a bit more reasonable. On average, females weigh in at around 9-15 pounds, while males are typically larger, ranging from 13-18 pounds. And yes, in case you’re wondering, your male Maine Coon will likely outgrow your small dog at some point.
Maine Coons aren’t just cats—they’re basically dogs in a feline suit. Unlike your typical aloof house cat, these fluffy giants love to be involved in everything you do. Going to the bathroom? They’re coming with you. Cooking in the kitchen? Expect a furry supervisor. They’ll follow you from room to room like a devoted shadow, all while chattering away in their signature chirps and trills, making sure you never feel alone. And then there’s the water obsession—Maine Coons don’t just tolerate water, they seek it out. Sinks, bathtubs, even their own water bowls are fair game for a good splash session. Basically, if you’ve ever wanted a dog but prefer a cat that doesn’t need walks, a Maine Coon is your perfect, slightly unhinged, four-legged companion.

Barney came to us in the summer of 2023, and it took him two years to get the mane he has today, which still isn't entirely full grown.

Man, he was a cute Kitten!
I will say though, his personality sure stayed pretty much the same throughout. Even if he is slightly less of a troublemaker now.

Robin came to us a little older. I seriously wondered if she would ever grow any hair, then in December of 2024... poof. There it was.

Our Supermodel
I regularly referred to Robin as my supermodel. She was tall and thin, she was the longest and tallest Maine Coon in my cattery, but her weight just never seemed to reflect it. Then fall of last year, she suddenly started filling out. Now she is the heaviest girl in my cattery.

This is Worf. His parents are Barney X Robin. He was born in Feb 2024 and was my personal pick of the litter. We ended up not keeping him intact to breed him, but he is still my shoulder buddy.

The hardest part of being a breeder is seeing an adorable face like this and not keeping it. If I did, I would have so many cats in my house I wouldn't be able to walk. I already have too many to sleep through the night.

Red is my beautiful red silver ticked boy. Again, we kept this boy for breeding. But alas his personality wasn't outgoing enough for me to feel good about breeding him. He is otherwise perfect! When I can catch him, he is my favorite cat to carry around and use as a model at exhibitions.

So long as you're holding this boy, he is literally the perfect angel. And softer than an angora rabbit! I love this little guy. He will live with us forever.
