Video of Helios - a bear of a Maine Coon cat

When Helios jumps onto the bed chasing a cat tease, he looks like a bear chasing a salmon in a stream. He is enormous. Without wishing to be insensitive you can see that he is a little overweight. That's why he has lost that natural Maine Coon rangy appearance. Maine Coons are big but they are long as we all know which gives them a rangy (leggy and long) appearance. The longest domestic cat ever was a Maine Coon called Mymains Stewart Gilligan (aka Stewie) at 123 cm (48.5 in) long. 


Isn't it always a danger for Maine Coons to become little overweight? What I mean is they have to be full-time indoor cats. Doesn't this place an added obligation on the cat caregiver to keep them happy and occupied. And it not they can become bored. Some cats comfort eat as far as I can tell.

It is partly why too many over overweight. It's no big deal for Helios but I think he should lose a bit. All the big Maine Coons I have seen are just big and not fat-big.


Right now, he is active and he looks fine but things change.
