Handsome, all-white, male, giant Maine Coon, Tihon, likes to cuddle

This handsome, all-white, male, giant Maine Coon likes to cuddle his female human companion a lot. He doesn't like to be alone and he follows her around wherever she goes. This includes going to the bathroom together which is normal for the domestic cat.  The bathroom is full of the smells of the human! Cats love that. It is like 'in-your-face' human presence.

He lives in Moscow, Russia. You will see a lot of very large and highly impressive Maine Coons in Russia because the breeders tend to do an amazing job with their cats. They sometimes breed more impressive Maine Coons than the Americans which must be a bit galling to the Americans because this is an American cat or that's what they like to claim. I would agree with them because although the Maine Coon originates in the European cats they've been in America for 400 or more years.



Do all Maine Coons like to be cuddled and be that close to their human caregiver? No, not all of them as each cat has their own individual character. However, the Maine Coon is people orientated and they like to be close to the person they love. Sometimes they develop a very strong attachment to their female owners to the point where they become recalcitrant when they are away (Legacy of the Cat by Gloria Stephens).

You can see a super-close relationship between this woman who's taking a selfie with Tihon clinging to her. It must be a wonderful relationship. Again, I am surprised to see that Tihon's head is about the same size as a human head. It's indicative of the size of this impressive domestic cat companion.
