This was my daughter's Maine Coon when she moved to Switzerland many years ago. He was such a big cat, lovable, and very curious too. She is still on her second Maine Coon. All three of these pictures are the same Maine Coon. When he passed away, she was heartbroken but her current Maine Coon, not featured on this post is just as curious and lovable but not as big as the previous one.

the Maine Cat away from the Girl
Happy Wordless Wednesday
Those photos of the cats show them to be exceptionally large
more like their cousins from the wild

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - that's an interesting observation about the Maine Coon. I never thought of that; it makes sense.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your photographs and your observations.
I hope all is going well for you this week.
Have a great day!

George Souto - Oh yes! The first time I visited when she had that big cat, I couldn't believe the size!
Thanks for your BIG CAT memories Patricia with a few "words" added in, we like it either way. Jeff

Maine Coons are some very big cats! We had one for a bit years and years ago, but Chester wasn't nearly as big as the one in the pictures!

Liz and Bill Spear - My first GrandCat was by far much larger than the one she has now. Both, very affectionate and always wanted to be part of her guitar playing. Both could sit there the entire time. Both males too.
Patricia, As everyone else has commented, that's a very BIG Cat! It sounds like your daughter is fond of that particular breed. Your pictures tell the whole Cat story.

Barbara Michaluk - thank you! My daughter always loved cats and all animals. The Maine Coon is her favorite domestic pet.
WOW! How big was the litter box Patricia Feager ? 🙄

Bob "RealMan" Timm - The pictures were taken many years ago after she moved to Switzerland. I honestly don't remember how big the litter box was. I just remember he was a very big and gentle cat. Very curious, almost human like too.
Your reflections on your daughter's Maine Coon really tug at the heartstrings, Patricia Feager! It's clear how much those furry companions mean to us, and your love for these cats shines through. Thanks for sharing such a sweet memory this Wordless Wednesday—it's a lovely reminder of the bonds we form with our pets!

Lew Corcoran I love my daughter and my son, granddaughter, grandcats, and granddogs, all babies and children, pets, nature, plants, trees, the sky, stars, sun, planets, the moon; butterflies, birds, bees, dragonflies, and wildlife. We are all connected.
We all benefit by the gifts we share here on earth.
What a beautiful sentiment, Patricia Feager! It's heartwarming to hear about your love for your family and the natural world. You're absolutely right—everything is interconnected, and the joy we find in each other and in nature enriches our lives. Thank you for sharing your lovely perspective! 💖
What a beautiful cat, Patricia. I adore Maine Coones... they are truly gentle giants, affectionate, and smart as a whip. Mine looks a lot like your grandcat, except he's grey and white.

Nina Hollander, Broker - the pictures of my daughter's Maine Coon are of her cat that crossed the Rainbow Bridge. The one she has now has all the same qualities, but smaller in size. The color is about the same.
I love to visit her and play with her cats. Plus, I see many when we walk the farmland roads.
Patricia Feager interesting that there are Maine Coones in Switzerland.
That is a cool-looking cat and I am sure that it would get along with Tango, Trey, and Tom Boy, haha.

Brian England - It was a sad day when that one died. However, my daughter has another Maine Coon (smaller) but just as lovable and intelligent! She bought both of them as a kitten and had no idea how big they would get.
Maine Coons are very sociable and most likely would get along with Tango, Trey, and Tom Boy.
Patricia, there are lots of cat lovers here in the Rain who definitely appreciate your featured photos!

Sharon Tara!
Oh, my gosh! Thank you! This is great. My daughter will love what you've done!!! I do!!!
Thank you for taking the time to share your creativity which I have always loved! I can't wait until I hear from her. You really surprised me and touched my heart!!!
There are enough words that express my gratitude!
Patricia Feager You are welcome....my pleasure! I hope she likes it as much as you do.
Patricia Feager Yeah! She likes it!
I'm currently overseas so I know the time difference. My husband and I took a 13 night transatlantic cruise to Barcelona where my daughter and son-in-law picked us up. We flew to their home in Germany where we will be staying for a few weeks. I'm so blessed!
Sharon Tara - I am so happy for you! Your 13-night transatlantic cruise sounded amazing! Awe, and you got to spend time with your daughter and son-in-law too! Flying to their home in Germany was extra special and now you get to enjoy them for a few more weeks! Life is good! You are blessed! Occasions like this are rare and fills your heart with everlasting joy!
Good morning, Sharon Tara - She lives overseas. I received her reply in the middle of the night, my time. What you did for both of us was so kind and generous. We appreciate your artistic creativity very much! Here's what she said:
Patricia Feager Thank you! It is our fifth time here. The first time was for 2 weeks, each time the length of our trip has increased by a week. He works for the government and they just signed up for two more years. If nothing changes, we will be back at least a couple more times.
They live in Rothenburg ob der tauber. It is like being inside a fairytale.
I've been learning German on Duolingo for five years now and you would NEVER know it. Not easy learning a language at my age. LOL
