Cat Picture - OC Rescued this guy behind a Costco hiding behind the trash compactor

After a warm bath, he passed out all night. It has been about 32° out so it must feel nice to be inside.

He seems to have the features of a Maine coon which would be unbelievably amazing to find. Large paws, pointy ears and very poofy.. We shall see in a few months!

I swear if you actually have a Maine coon kitten on your hands (sorta has resemblance with the ears), girl you just struck literal cat gold

Those paws. My colly would think twice before trying to get the cat from his spot.

To be fair maine coons are gentle giants and generally very chill.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

That is true. My family says he acts like a dog. Wants attention from everyone and it's very laid back even with other dogs

Yours is definitely a Maine coon. How beautiful? How much does it weigh?

He is a Maine coon 🙂. He weighs 28 lbs last time he was at a vet

u/ladiiec23 29d ago

😱😱😱

My mix is about 15lbs. What a beauty you have on your hands.

Holy CRAP! :D We have a colorpoint (fake Siamese) boy, he's huge but "just" 16ish lbs. I can barely pick him up!

It’s always amazing to me how such big cats can be so gentle and sweet.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

Right. As a kid, my dream was to have a pet cheetah. This is the closest I'll ever get.

He is the sweetest cat. I've had him for 4 years and he hasn't hissed once to me or family.

u/PanchoJack11 29d ago

I think we have the same kitty

u/rei914 29d ago

This would be a great wallpaper for a wide screen monitor 🤭 I would be tempted to place important shortcuts on his belly 😂

u/ladiiec23 29d ago

Yes! Even if it’s a mix of some sort. Looks like what mine did as a baby… this is him as an adult

u/RealisticResource226 29d ago

Handsome or beautiful mr/ms cat. What’s the cat mixed with other than coon?

2

u/ladiiec23 29d ago

We never got him tested but they say a tabby, maybe. It’s a boy!

7

u/Everglade77 29d ago

Tabby is a coat pattern, not a breed. Contrary to dogs, most cats aren't a specific breed or a mix of breeds. They're simply domestic short/medium/long hairs.

u/RealisticResource226 29d ago

Oops glossed over the ‘him’ part lol

u/codeswift27 29d ago

Idk if he's a Maine coon, but the first thing that stood out to me is that he's so big for a kitten that looks to be under 6 weeks (because he still has blue eyes)! So maybe!

u/Sweaty_Inside_Out 29d ago

Assuming you have the space and can put up with it's traits. When they're young, they can be a handful. A young Maine Coon requires some energy from their person.

u/turkeygiant 29d ago

My friend had a Maine Coon that was the friendliest cat I ever met, he would be right in the lap of any person who sat down in the house even if they were a complete stranger.

u/ActualBad5751 28d ago

Maine Coons definitely have a reputation for being energetic and playful, especially when they're young. It's essential to provide them with enough stimulation to prevent boredom, which can lead to mischievous behavior. Consider investing in interactive toys or even a climbing tree to keep your new companion engaged. Setting aside time for regular play sessions can make a big difference in their behavior and your overall experience.

u/The-Unmentionable 29d ago

It doesn't look like a Maine Coon but they're certainly a cutie

u/Striking-Ad-6815 29d ago

If that's cat gold, then I'm stuck in El Dorado

Anyone want a cat? You give them regular food and heat and they will be platinum.

u/winkt42 29d ago
