Mama Maine Coon Cuddles Cute Kitten Who's Already Almost Her Size
Maine Coon kittens don't look like kittens for very long, honestly. They stay kittens for much longer than a standard cat, but they look all grown up when they're just babies! It's one of the best things about the breed and totally adds to their charm.
Recently, one mama Maine Coon cat was snuggling her young kitten, only to realize that she can barely even fit him in her arms anymore! If he's that big at his age, I can't even imagine how big he'll be when he finally reaches full-grown:

These cats are from Maine Coon Budz Cattery, and they're amazing. They legitimately look like twins! You can just tell that she's so incredibly proud of the beautiful baby she made, as she should be.
Mama's name is Freya, though the baby's name hasn't been shared: most likely, they're saving the honor of naming the baby for his forever family. I just hope it's something cool! A cool cat like him deserves a cool name.

Since this kitten is living in a cattery for now, he's definitely not the only kitten, and he's not the only one growing like a weed, either. They've seen this many times before:

The difference between 5 and 10 weeks is absolutely wild to me. That pretty Calico kitty looks like a grown woman already! Their cats are truly so stunning.
Maine Coon Kittens Grow Slower Than You'd Think
We see these crazy growth spurts and assume that Maine Coon kittens grow crazy fast, which might lead you to believe that they're done growing sooner than a typical cat might be. However, that's actually not the case at all!
Maine Coons experience rapid physical growth for about a year. After that, you might notice that they don't continue to grow as quickly, because they spend most of the rest of the growth period:
- Filling out.
- Developing sharper facial features.
- Growing out their adult coat.
This is also when their bones finish growing. Typically, a Maine Coon doesn't reach full-grown until 4 years, though some don't finish growing completely until they're closer to 5. When they do finish, though, they're truly magnificent!
