This is Dutch which means, "the maine coon as a pet". People from Holland search the internet using this phrase. The photo above is by a talented cat breeder and photographer living in Holland, Dani (Daniëlle Rozeboom). This is her website.

Well this is a question, in Dutch, about how the Maine Coon is as a pet. This is my answer in Dutch (a Google translation so please forgive the bad grammar etc.):

"De Maine Coon is een geweldig huisdier. Dit is een grote binnenlandse kat die zich gedraagt ​​als iedere andere binnenlandse kat. U moet om te communiceren met je Maine Coon. Maar ze zijn veeleisend in mijn ervaring. De Maine Coon is ontspannen en zorgeloos. Maine Coons in het algemeen op goed met kinderen en honden en andere katten. Het zijn mensen georiënteerd katten. Die zeiden dat ze niet te veel afhankelijk zijn van mensen. Ze hebben geen aandacht vragen, maar doen hun eigen ding. Ze willen graag dicht bij hun menselijke metgezel, maar niet per se te worden gehouden. De Maine Coon heeft een kleine stem en is vrij rustig. Ze zijn zoet katten. Misschien is hun grootte kan vervolgens naar de alfa kat in een multicat huishouden."

In short and in English the Maine Coon is pretty easy going and makes a really nice cat companion.

The extreme Maine Coon face

-

This is an example of extreme breeding. This is a Maine Coon but this cat is an extreme and rare example of this breed. This is not the way they look normally. This face is almost like an aggressive robot with the piercing eyes and the huge muzzle.  Or like a lion's head. The head looks enormous and very heavy. It looks unreal. But it also looks very impressive.  And purchasers like impressive-looking domestic cats. But this not the face of a Maine Coon that wins cat show competitions as it does not fit the breed standard as accurately as the more moderate winners (see below).  In fact, the CFA standard is clear in that the cat should have a balanced appearance although this cat was not bred under the CFA breed standard as I understand it (see below).  Click here for more on the kind of MC which wins at shows .

Eerie picture of a Maine Coon sitting like a human on a chest of drawers

This is a slightly scary picture according to those who've seen it. One social media user said it was the devil and "If I walked into a room and saw that, I would assume some shit is about to go down". There is a ghostly stillness and sinister feeling about the image. 'Eerie' is a better description. This attractive cat appears to be completely at ease and comfortable sitting on top of a chest of bedroom drawers. The lighting from below (deliberate?) enhances the eerie effect. It seems possible that this is a photo-edited image but if so, it has been done with great skill. However, I don't think this is Photoshopped. Rethink: to be honest, the more I look at the picture, the more I feel that this is a photo-edited image. It is just too unnatural to be real. Although some domestic cats get themselves into some very strange positions. Maine Coon calmly sitting just like a human on a chest of drawers. Picture source unclear.

Black smoke Maine Coon Richie with a black face and diamond eyes

Black smoke Maine Coon Richie with a black face and diamond eyes. Photo: Instagram. OMG, this is a Maine Coon with an amazing face. His full name is "Richie du Mont d’Even". I think he has a black smoke coat which has created this black face with the assistance of other genes (polygenetic influence?) and ears with piercing, diamond eyes. This is a very special cat. Richie looked very interesting but relatively plain as a kitten. Image: Instagram. His paws are balls of fluff. He has a mane that goes over his head like a halo. He's angelic and other-worldly. The lynx tips on the end of his ears are smoky grey which makes them stand out. They are a bit like the opposite to the black lynx tips of the wild caracal.  He lives in France with his human: Adriana Piraino. He was born on 7th November 2020. He is still very young. They say Maine Coons reach adulthood at around the age of 4. He is going to be enormous as well. Richie with Adriana. Photo: Instagram Richie was bred b
