Yeah we have two, and are looking to breed! At £600 she better have a litter of 10! She's only 10 months in the above pic and about 7lbs, she's actually one of the smallest Maine Coon females I've seen! Maine Coons grow until they are 4-5yo and males can easily get over 20lbs.
I have a maine coon boy who's 5 at the end of April. He's not the heaviest but his frame is huge! I also have a Bengal female. Two very different cats but they bounce off one-another and it keeps him active and her a little calmer.P.S Males over the 20's are not unknown, but not that common. I'm friendly with the breeder I got my boy from and in all her years breeding and keeping she's only had a couple reach that weight and she has up to 25 cats in her care at any one time

Going massively off-topic I've only ever seen 3 fully grown males in the flesh, one was 15lbs, one 19lbs and one 21lbs. The 19lbs was the largest (length/height wise) but the breeder who owns him says he's very average in size :0
The breeder with the 21lb boy says they go to shows and see far bigger than theirs, they say one guy who shows always walks his massive cat 'Titan' in on a lead.
Wiki says females vary from 10-15lbs and males an unbelivable 15-25lbs but I've seen some cat sites suggest 8-12 for females 13-18 for males. Registered breeders I've spoken to about it nod to the former but one of them has a coonie girl whom they say is the biggest they've ever seen and she's stated to be 11lbs. That said some breeders say they can provide a huge light cat or a small heavy chunky cat!
We just bought a boy from a breeder who aims to breed big and he's already 6lbs at just 4 months!!! They have previously sold a kitten who attained 14lbs at 6 months!

I'd be careful of breeders who breed for size. Maine Coons have trouble with their hearts when you start trying to get them as big as possible
All the best with the breeding, if you ever fancy a chat about the breed drop me a PM Now, back on topic, sorry guys

Yep true. People who granted, don't look like inbreds, but don't know their a**e from their elbow, the front from the back, and charge you insane prices to pay for nice workshops.

Is it just me, or does anyone else notice the uncanny similarity in eye colour!
Anyway, 11 years is good going mate, here's to a very happy future for you two!
