Every week, we look for interesting stories of cats and their owners. This week, we found ourselves in Texas, America. On Instagram, Facebook and YouTube, the account @lifewithmainecooncats has over 50,000 followers! In total, they currently have 5 cats, 4 of which are Maine Coons and one Ragdoll cross. Their first purebred Maine Coon, Molly, got them hooked on the breed as well as starting their own YouTube channel.
Addicted to Maine Coon cats
They currently have five cats, but for this blog we are focusing on their first Maine Coon, Molly. She is the queen of the house, and they adore her. Molly is five years old and a purebred Maine Coon. When they were looking for a cat, they wanted a breed known for its dog-like personality, and the Maine Coon fit that description perfectly. They initially wanted a male cat, but when her brother was reserved, they couldn't resist Molly's cuteness. So they decided to put a down payment on her and waited months before they could pick her up.

We just couldn't say “no” to her, because she was SO cute!
After a few months, Molly was ready to be picked up, and the couple flew to Tennessee to meet her. They stayed at a hotel, and the breeder brought Molly to them. The couple was nervous and excited to meet her. Molly was everything they hoped for, but at first she didn't show much interest in them. But as time passed, their bond grew stronger and now Molly feels like their own child.
“Molly's personality is amazing, and she is kind to everyone she meets. She has taught us a lot about love and kindness, and we are grateful for that” lauds the couple. Shortly after Molly came to them, they decided to take Annie the crossbreed Ragdoll into their home. Annie is one day older than Molly, and buddies with Molly right from the start.
YouTube
Molly is the reason they started a YouTube channel, where the couple wants to educate people about what
it's like to live with Maine Coon cats and to introduce them one by one to
everyone.
Molly is a talkative cat and friendly to
everyone, unlike her owner, who is introverted. Despite their differences, they
share a close bond, and Molly has taught her owner to be kinder and open to new
people. Molly can get nervous in a new environment, but she warms up quickly.
She is very sweet and has won the hearts of everyone who has met her.
All about Molly
Molly is also the reason the couple's opinion of cats changed, and they can no longer imagine life without a cat. Molly means everything to them, and they treat her their own child. She gives them so much love back and teaches them something new every day.
The couple therefore make sure that Molly and the other cats lack nothing. Pampered they certainly are, the couple makes sure the cats are provided with the best toys and equipment. Of course, they also have several scratching posts, below an overview of their favourites:
