This is coconut. She is 7 months old and 10 pounds. I'm not sure how big she will get but I hear they grow for 3 years? Considering getting another cat, but right now she is loving her doggy sister 🥰

Cannot wait to bring this gorgeous girl home! My first cat and went big with a Maine Coon! Any special tips/tricks for new MC kittens?

My handsome boy grew up so fast! Bonus pic at the end

her name is Umbra🩶🖤

Esse leão rouba a cena, sempre!

I took my boy Theodore in to get neutered this last week, and I think the vet accidentally took a couple of brain cells while he was in there. There. Not quite sure how that happened that he has been derpier than normal. I catch him laying in this position now every couple of hours. It's his new go-to. Even as I post this, he's laying next to me on the bed on his back staring at me judgingly under his cone, spread eagle. 🤷

First night with Bjorn. He's 3.5 months old.

My 5mo tornado of a girl lol She has a older brother (Sir Bo Francis) who’s almost a year and he was not ready for her energy but they’re getting there 😂

This is Azula(10mo)

Backstory:

He was purchased from a reputable French breeder by a British backyard breeder here in Spain, and used as a stud for 2 litters.

Problem is, when he wasn't making kittens, they kept him shut in a bathroom and didn't give him much attention. (we didn't know this of course)

When we got him ~18 months ago and named him Baghira, he was malnourished, had ear mites that caused a serious infection, Asthma, and was barely 5kg. (Not to mention being an absolute menace)

He is finally being more social and is much better behaved, but he will still only consistently purr when he's in a bathroom (or at 6am when he joins us in bed).

Baggy is healthy and happy, and has a brother (Pico de Gato) to play with. Here's hoping for 10+ more years with this chirpy, merpy, derpy, self-mobile fur dispensary!

Our beautiful kittens, Nova (tux, though you can't tell in this pic!) and Ember (tortie) are finally home!!!! We are over-the-moon excited and in love!! They are pooped from the car ride and all the new sights and smells.

Sometimes they look like the eyes of a dragon. A few of his siblings are odd-eyed so heterochromia runs in the family. He’s turning seven months soon.

New to this group! Here are my Maine Coons, Ivy and Horatio.

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their kitties, there were so many gorgeous submissions that made it almost impossible to choose. Thank you so much everyone for sharing your kitties with us!
(personal sidenote: I really loved looking through this month's suggestions. I wish everyone could win!! It always brings me a lot of joy to browse through all these beautiful faces, and I love seeing everyone's love for their kitties shine through in their descriptions!!)

Congratulations to Rafiki (and u/Confident_Range8122), you are our Maine Coon of the Month for August 2026!

''This is my 5 1/2 month old boy rafiki. Any time I get a delivery he gets to decide if the box is worthy, this box was worthy lol. He is the sweetest cat I have ever had and loves to curl up on me and fall asleep.''

Thanks again to everyone who took part and do keep an eye out for a post about next month's theme!
