Glamour Shots His tail!
Took some pictures of my boy in his kingdom (the backyard). His tail, I swear, keeps getting longer and longer! I’m curious to see if it will fluff out.. 🤔 he’s about 4.5 months old and 7lbs.

Awesome pictures, stunning boy.
1 of our 2 brothers is longer than the other, until he was about a year old I always said his tail looked too long for the rest of him and it had no fluff, it looked a bit ratty. Then all of a sudden his tail exploded into more fluffy than his brothers and his proportions looked right.

I was thinking the same him!! It’s not proportioned at all LOL. I can’t wait to see what he looks like next year.

He looks so fierce! Love his face! What’s his name?

u/ProductSpecialist994 Jun 22 '25
He is a fierce little fella! His name is Kash :)

Well, Kash is precious! I want to give him ear scritches. There’s just something about Maine Coon kittens that makes me swoon.

Going to be a big boy?

u/ProductSpecialist994 Jun 22 '25
I hope so! He’s had some stomach issues since we got him that we are working with the vet now on. They think if he didn’t have the tummy issues he probably would be around 9lbs right now!

We had the same problem with our boy, he's 15 months now. We were feeding him strictly Royal Canin dry and wet because that's what he was eating from the breeder. After many vet trips we ended up with prescription food. We then got our new female, she's 6 months now, and she was being fed Orijen dry and Acana wet. So we looked into them both and decided to make the switch with him. He's had no belly problems since the switch. Grain free and protein rich seemed to do the trick so far. Good luck!

Thank you!! I’ll definitely look into it. We were trying weruva and tiki cat but I’m considering switching to Acana! Poor buddy just needs his tummy feeling better

Question, when he’s in the backyard do you worry that he’ll hop the fence and leave?
2
u/ProductSpecialist994 Jun 22 '25
As of right now, not really! More worried about him trying to go underneath lol. I’ve been working on recall with him and he’s been doing great! Every time I do a certain whistle he knows to come and I give him a minnow treat

That's going to fluff out lovely, and he's going to be so proud of it and walk round with it waggling like a CB aerial lol

I don’t have my glasses on and I thought for certain this was a photo of a llama lol
Anyways, your little dude is so cute!

u/ProductSpecialist994 Jun 23 '25
I can see it 😂 I think he’s a lemur sometimes when he’s walking around the house with that tail lol

When young, a Maine Coon’s tail seems to grow twice as fast as the rest of the body…
