Cat cuddle puddles. Also known as the best thing in the world. We, as cat people, spend about 5% of each and every day daydreaming about being in the middle of a giant cat cuddle puddle full of the most forbidden cats. We would do anything to cuddle a lion, and we would give anything to snuggle with a panther, and we would just about sell our soul to hug a cheetah. We would. But we can't. We are not one of the lucky ones that gets to do crazy things like this.

Which means we have to settle for the house cat version of a giant cat - one that is dangerous, yes, but legal to keep inside your home. The Maine Coon cat. As big as a Golden Retriever, but about a million times less friendly. Purrfecion. Now, we just need to get our hands on one and hope that it likes us. But for the moment, while we're searching, enjoy these pictures of awwdorable Maine Coon cats and kittens instead.

Oh, just imagine the cuddles with this thing. Forget the shedding, forget the size of its claws… the cuddles. The cuddles would be worth anything and everything, and somehow, even though we did not think it was even pawssible, we think we want a Maine Coon cat even more than we did before now.

You can just tell, even when they are still kittens, that they are going to grow into majestic giant beasts. Just look at that face, look at those ears and those paws. They're already so big. This little guy simply hasn't grown into them completely yet, and they are going to grow even more.
