They were actually triplets. Their sister didn't have any interests for a while and we told ourselves if we go pick ours up and she's still without interests, we'll take her too, but she ended up with her own family.

Your darkest kitty is so photogenic the way he looks at the cam every time 🥰

Thanks, I'll let them know. They love nothing more than compliments.

You'll get a good idea by looking at the parents. My guy has his dads size and his moms face. He totally grew into his ears and tail. 25+ lbs, his dad is 28+, mom weights in at close to 20lbs. My son has a half brother and he is looking to be a big boy too.

So cool how you can already see the shape of the head as a kitten and you can see how they grow into these gorgeous cats. Your cat looks adorable!

Omg thanks for asking because I’m curious about how they’ll look growing up also. & it’s kind of hard to say because as they grow, there will be so many changes.

yes!! Me and my girlfriend are still deciding what kind we want and this is the perfect way to see how different fur patterns and colours develop :)

Grew and beefed up an amazing amount since turning 1. I wonder how much of growing he has left

they say mainecoons won't stop growing till they're about 5 so he'll probably get even more bigger!

He’s still just one year old so technically he’s not fully grown yet but here you go

Forgive the sensual bonus picture, he's a regular at r/OneOrangeBraincell

Currently shy of 2 years old so he should still grow a little bit

They're beautiful cats and can be really smart or really dumb when it fits them.

I have more pictures/clips on my profile
