Time lapse video of dilute ginger tabby-and-white Maine Coon growing up

-

This is a very nice TikTok video of a ginger tabby-and-white Maine Coon cat growing up using time lapse photography. The cat is almost certain to be a boy because ginger tabbies are almost always male. At the beginning of the video you can see the photographer taking the first images. It's always nice to see a Maine Coon newborn grow up in a short video with time compressed tremendously.

Time lapse

Time-lapse photography is pretty straightforward. You take a series of still photographs over a long period of time. You put those photographs together to make a video using software. The kitten in the video is shown in 14 different photos taken over 225 days (about 7.5 months).

Many modern SLR cameras have a time-lapse facility or you can buy an accessory to run time-lapse on your camera. It allows you to see things in a different light.

Video note

Note: Some TikTok users allow visitors to download their videos which I take advantage of sometimes because it allows me to upload the video to this website rather than embed the video. The video comes from the TikTok account of furryfritz [link].

Embedding videos from another website is problematic because it means you have to rely upon the other website to maintain that video. If it's deleted on that website it disappears on yours. That won't happen in this instance. I don't like seeing black holes on a page where a video is meant to be. This can happen quite a lot if the page is on the Internet for a long time.

Commenter on the video: Stop it! 😭🧡.. from absolutely adorable to absolutely magnificent! 🌟

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
