    The daddy looks a bit like Buster. All of the babies are the same colour as Luna, though. ❤

    • @Maine_Coon_Kittens

      Yes, he looks a bit similar to Buster 😸
      The kittens look like they have the same color from a distance, but all of them are actually very different!
      Two are females and they are both tortoiseshell. One looks like blue/creme and one is black/red. The other two are males and one is blue like Luna and the other one is black. All of them also have some kind of patterns or silver in them, but I haven't figured out exactly what yet.

      Unfortunately me and Luna have to pay him for his service 😅
      He's about two years old. I really like his look, very cute in some way despite being very large. They weighed him afterwards and he weighed about 10 kg.

      2 of the babies look like Luna, 2 are more dark. I`m curious how they will look when growing up. Seeing daddy i would have expected 2 more pale babies like Buster. Strange! Most important is that they`re healthy and can have a good start into life.
      How is Buster reacting to the babies?

    • @Maine_Coon_Kittens
      @Maine_Coon_Kittens  Před rokem +2

      😹
      They actually have four different colours!
      Two are female and they are tortoiseshell, I think one is blue/creme and one is black/red. One of the males is blue like Luna and the other one is black. And all of them have some patterns or silver in them too!
      I think the colours and the difference will be much more obvious when they are bigger.
      Buster is usually such a friendly cat and he and Luna are best friends. But now after the kittens are here, she probably smells very differently, and Buster gets angry when he sees her. I'm trying to make them friends again with small steps every day and we are doing progress. But he hasn't met the kittens yet.

    Hello!
    This was so helpful for me :) .
    Thank you so much for posting this, we have a femaile maine coon and wanted to understand the process.
    If you have any further tips that wouoe be great!

    • @Maine_Coon_Kittens
      @Maine_Coon_Kittens  Před rokem +3

      Nice!
      I'm glad that it was helpful 😸
      I have more videos on my channel about the later stages of pregnancy, and I'm now posting updates on the kittens!
      I also have a video of the full birthing process.
      I don't know which country you are in and what rules you must follow, but do your research and check if there are any health tests that you should do. Like a heart scan for example. You can also ask your cat's breeder for tips and make sure that that person is fine with you using your cat for breeding.
      Good luck!

      @Maine_Coon_Kittens  Před rokem +1

      Yes, Buster is the most handsome!
      He's been castrated since before I even got Luna. Otherwise he would have been a great father.
      I feel a bit sorry for not letting you know about this channel until now 😥
      I have been trying to post links and info on all places I can, but it's still difficult to reach out to all people.
      Here you will find more in depth updates on Luna's pregnancy, birth and the kittens.
      Now that the kittens are getting older, I will make more videos with them on the Adventures with Maine Coons channel too, so stay tuned for that!
      Have fun watching he videos 😸

    • @Maine_Coon_Kittens
      @Maine_Coon_Kittens  Před rokem +1

      It depends from cat to cat. The maximum number allowed is three litters in two years. This is Luna's first litter. I have not decided if and when she will have more litters.

      Hello.
      I'm open for comments, both positive and negative, but you don't have to spam the same comment in all of my videos.
      This is a planned litter of purebred Maine Coons with pedigree and health tested parents. I love Maine Coons, and so do many other people, so it will be easy to find homes for these kittens.
      If you don't like this, that's totally fine for me. But please stop spamming the same comment in all of my videos. There are thousands of other cat breeders on CZcams that you can comment on instead.

    • @AntjeRoestenburg
      @AntjeRoestenburg Před 7 měsíci +3

      Excellent suggestion for ferral- or farm cats, but why would you spay purebred animals (dogs or cats)?

    • @gengarzilla1685
      @gengarzilla1685 Před 6 měsíci +4

      Telling a breeder to spay or neuter their animals is like telling an artist to cut off their hands. Please don't push this usually good advice in the wrong place.

  • @PeiPeisMom
    @PeiPeisMom Před rokem +1

    I love cats, but we really don't need more of them. It's really abhorrent that you didn't get this gal spayed before she ever went into heat. How dare you breed animals for money knowing that it's wrong? Your cat is beautiful. Please spay her and don't do this anymore.

    • @Maine_Coon_Kittens
      @Maine_Coon_Kittens  Před rokem +5

      I love Maine Coons and so do many other people. Someone must breed them in order for them to exist.
      There are many different opinions about this, but I think we all share a love for cats and I hope we can just agree to disagree on this because I don't want to argue.
