I can find one celebrity who lives with a Maine Coon - Joe Perry (musician)

-

I thought I would dig around and see whether I could find some human celebrities who live with Maine Coon cats. There are a lot of Maine Coon celebrities, as it happens, but what about the humankind and whether they like Maine Coon cats? And I have to say that I was somewhat surprised to struggle to find a celebrity with a Maine Coon cat companion.

The Maine Coon is in the top three most popular cat breeds so you might have thought they would be more popular with celebrities.

Here is a photograph of Joe Perry with his grey tabby Maine Coon whose name, by the way, is Icon.

Joe Perry

Here is a bit about Joe Perry whose full name is Joseph Anthony Parreira, born September 10, 1950. He is an American musician and the founding member and lead guitarist of the rock band Aerosmith. He also has his own solo band called The Joe Perry Project. And finally, to add to his CV, he is a member of the all-star band Hollywood Vampires with Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp.

He has an enormous Wikipedia entry which I guess has been written by his many fans. I can't go into the intense detail here. But what about this: he has a collection of about 600 guitars. He prefers Gibson guitars particularly the Les Paul.

Joe Perry had to sell a 1959 Gibson Les Paul during his 1982 divorce. He discovered that his beautiful guitar had ended up in the hands of the British-American guitarist Slash. Perry asked to buy the guitar, but the request was refused. The guitar had tripled in value over the intervening years.

And then, many years later on Joe's 50th birthday, at a party, Slash finally gave him the guitar as a gift. Neat ending. It must have been valuable. And it had sentimental value.

Joe Perry's Maine Coon looks very nice. This is not a huge Maine Coon cat but a typical, classy looking grey, tabby Maine Coon. You can see Joe Perry offering Icon some of his dinner which looks like a little bit of meat of some sort.

Can anyone tell me about another celebrity who lives with a MC?

The extreme Maine Coon face

-
Image
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
