Lena and Jack are siblings. You can tell the gender of these cats from their facial expressions and appearance. I think you can. Their respective sizes are also a factor. I don’t know much about these individual cats. The picture was posted by Christie L. Montgomery on Facebook. I know Christie. She helps to run Texas Maine Coon Rescue to which this website has donated monthly for the last 5 or more years. I believe, also, that she runs Koonary Maine Coons. My memory is a bit hazy about that. Perhaps Christie will comment. Thank you for posting this picture, Christie. They are both superb individual cats and I love the Maine Coon.
Definitely the Tabby is the boy love these cats the wide muzzle, the long legs whats not to like? wonderful!
They are very impressive, aren’t they? I would love to have an impressive Maine Coon cat wandering around my home.
In my life I have had only 2 pedigrees. Normally go for moggies but we happened to stumble on a Maine Coon cat show one day and that was it we were smitten! Couldn’t have one at the time but we did when we lost our beloved Benji 6 years ago. Maine Coons are just wonderful companions as well as looking amazing just love him so much 🙂
Great example of the the difference between male and female body types. I agree with Michael. The ginger cutie looks female based on smaller size.
Phew, thanks Dan. I thought people were going to disagree with me. To me they do have the appearance of a male and female cat but it is often quite a fine difference but in this instance the difference in size is quite a big factor.
They are beautiful cats that’s for sure
Love those kitties so beautiful id love to have a main coon :))
Me too.
Wow they are beautiful – I’m assuming the orange is a boy here.
Well, I made a decision that Lena, the female, is the ginger tabby while Jack is the cat on the right-hand side (facing them as seen by us). He is a brown tabby and white, which I think is the best coat type for this breed. It is interesting that for me Jack looks like a male cat, while also for me Lena has a slight hint of the female about her but clearly that is up for grabs, that assessment. It may be that I am anthropomorphising the domestic cat. There’s quite a lot of complex personal baggage involved, possibly, when a person tries to judge a cat’s sex from their facial appearance. I don’t know.
