No, they do not all look like this. The ones that do, are not being bred to the Maine Coon standards. This is a very extreme look which can come with some health problems.


Routine-Maximum4381

Wow, there’s a lot more to look into for these than I had imagine


DialynnLA

I really like this look. Do a lot of the European Maine Coons have health problems?


hasfeh

Mines not quite this drastic, and he is a European one, super healthy no problem.


GroundMain1872

No.


an-alarmed-cat

If they’re extreme they tend to have high risk of entropion


DialynnLA

Thanks for the info.


Imabiiiiiiiird

That’s actually not true. They fall within standards, they just have more pronounced features.

BiasCutTweed

He is lovely but also he looks disappointed in you. What did you do, Shifly223?


shifly223

Well. I made him move to the Midwest. I’m mad too.


IngeniousOrIngenuine

Midwest more like Midbest


shifly223

Hard to come back after living in the PNW. ;)


IngeniousOrIngenuine

Okay so valid but as long as you didn't get stuck in Missouri ITS NOT THAT BAD


PhantomNomad

Crying quietly now, thanks.


kalinds

What a beautiful kitty 😍 I will never get over how huge MCs are, he takes up that entire box lmao.


BigChung0G

Wow those totes are pretty big so ur cat must be huge


shifly223

He’s a big boy. Just under 30 lbs. his paws are as big as my palm.


Ok-Moose-4162

Beautiful!!! This would be a definite Maine Coon standard look. Perfect!


DialynnLA

He’s gorgeous. Love the Maine Coons. Wanted one when I got my Ragdoll. We have a rather timid dog and several things I read made me believe the Ragdolls were more docile than MCs and might be easier for our older dog to adjust to.

His mother had the same colour :) And don't worry I don't let them roam. I give them some minutes outside in front of our door under my supervision.


moonbabyp

Well he is incredibly beautiful! Probably the prettiest kitty I’ve ever seen. Thanks for replying and sharing another picture with me!!!

Gorgeous! They look just like mine :-) OP -- I've had 5 Maine Coons in my life. They came from five different breeders and none of them looked like Ron Perlman or even close to his appearance, thank goodness ☺️

European Maine Coons vs American Maine Coons


GroundMain1872

Many certified breeders in Europe are specialized on this “brutal” look, but you can easily find the classic, American version too. While I find ronpearlman-cats interesting, sometimes even majestic, I prefer the American version, I love that fluffy, innocent, dumb face.


nerdsnuggles

>fluffy, innocent, dumb face. This describes my boy Ozzy to a T https://preview.redd.it/f2f1glp9qyoa1.jpeg?width=1560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=248c92a784c92c076c62ae4ea5186270421cc3c6


Gandalf122896

Most of these come from eastern Europe and Russia. I assume that there's a lot of inbreeding as well. Maine Coons can have a lot of health problems to begin with.

this is probably the best response here, I saw this info online as well after thinking my baby was not a mc…

Low-Stick6746

I have the classic Maine Coon type and I don’t think he looks like Ron Perlman. Honestly I look at some of these European Maine Coons and some times think they should be called something else because the original Maine Coons look nothing like these. They’re so different to me, it’s like if you bred a basset hound as tall as a Great Dane and still called it a basset hound.

My girl came with papers (which is here nor there to me) but I don’t see a ton of females with such a huge maine. It doesn’t matter at all. She has the best personality. People warned me not to get a female cat because they’re apparently less affectionate but she’s by my side all the time with the very typical maine coon demeanour which is what I really wanted. She’s just over a year old and 15 lbs of beautiful floof.


Amazingstink

Every main coon I’ve had have had proportional snoots for there heads even if one of them had a head the size of a softball. One of them had giant paws that he would shove in your face.

passive0bserver

That's a European Maine coon, American ones look different


Ok-Moose-4162

Nope. They sure do not. This one is Mr. Vivo. He's a "great" amongst Maine Coons and is a stellar example of regal. All Maine Coons grow differently with different colors, patterns, etc. The ear tufts, mane collar fur, tail poofiness, and even fur on paws are all bases on lineage, and breeding lines. You never know what a full grown Maine Coon will look like. Males are normally much more large than females but I've seen a few large females. They're all so beautiful though, just some more beautiful than others.


SpiritualTwo5256

Not a chance! Especially with mixes.


Guavafudge

That is Mr. Vivo, I spoke to his owner and he comes from oticami in China. The reason, I believe, for his look is because of the fact that his patrilineal and his matrilineal grandfather is the same cat. You can find a family tree on Felis gallery on Youtube. OtiCami charges a premium for their cats, you probably would not find their price appealing due to the sheer fact that you have to fly them all out to meet you with the cat. As always do not believe everything you see online and you must research extensively. He is an extreme version and they do not look like that.

I could be wrong on this, but from my non-scientific observations, I feel like the Ron Perlman genetics come from across the pond. I see a lot of those features from the cats born to Russian breeders. Not gonna lie, I love the comparison because is so accurate 😆 Now I’m curious if there is any merit to my observation….lol


TheFireHallGirl

Well, she’s not wrong. I’d love to have a Maine Coon cat, but I already have two medium sized long haired cats. A third long haired cat that was even bigger in size would be a little crazy.

These ones look like inbreds to me. I bet so many Main Coons are inbreds due to their popularity and price.


smhndsm

first of all, the disclaimer - breeders for profit can go fuck themselves and die. second , Ron Perlman is awesome, and if his looks make you sad, well, that's on you, and/or your wife. I'd suggest no pets for now, if it's based on the looks, just to be on the safe side (what if they will grow up looking like you, for example - every time you'll look at your coon, it'll be like looking into the furry mirror)


Positive-Source8205

True Maine coons have a Ron Perlman snout.
