Picture of three Maine Coon cats watching cat television

-

I guess you know what feline (cat) television is? In case you think it is the same as human television, it isn't. It is a nice wide window on the world outside. And there should be a nice wide window sill with some soft, cosy bedding on it. 

Below the window is a radiator which wafts warm air by convection over the cats as they sit or lie on the window sill and observe the wildlife spectacle outside which probably should include some bird feeders to add a bit of spice to the viewing. 

Yes, cat TV is a window and for Maine Coons it is pretty important as a lot of them, the vast majority I suspect, are full-time indoor cats. If they haven't got the use of a catio or an outside enclosure, the only chance to be mentally stimulated by real-life nature is to see the world from behind double-glazed glass.

And here we have what I believe are three Maine Coons (and a little fella on the sidelines) who are looking out of a window behind which something interesting is happening by the look of it.

Picture of 3 Maine Coon watching feline television. The only caveat is over the number of Maine Coons in the photo. I think it is 3 but it could be 2.

Yes, although it is certain that the cats are being entertained there is uncertainty over whether there are 3 or 2 Maine Coons in the picture. Judging by their tails and size I think it is three. 

They are not extreme-bred Maine Coons judging by their ear size and lynx tipped ears.

Hell, they might not be Maine Coons at all. It is possible because sometimes Maine Coons are not bred in accordance with the breed standards.

The size is a giveaway as the relatively small cat in the foreground appears to be a random-bred cat.

This is a nice photo from social media - Reddit.com. It was posted by u/AffectionateHouse120

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
