A fluffy black Maine Coon cat has spaghetti hanging from its mouth beside a broken plate and pasta with red sauce on a floor. 30 / 36

Dinner Hit the Floor. The Black Maine Coon Was Ready for It.

AI imagemaine cooncaught in the actspaghetti

A fluffy black Maine Coon crouches on the wooden floor with a mouthful of spaghetti, long strands dangling from his jaws, and a speck of red sauce on his whiskers. Beside him, a plate has broken into jagged white shards, and a heap of pasta with red sauce is spread across the floor, with a few tube-shaped noodles rolled loose. His ears are laid back and his amber eyes glance up with an unmistakably sheepish expression. A basket and a plant sit in the soft light behind him. We'll call him Luigi.

Maine Coons are large, shaggy, friendly cats that are often described as gentle giants, and they usually keep their playful nature into adulthood. A plate of pasta is not an ideal meal for a cat, because cats are obligate carnivores, and tomato sauces often contain onion and garlic, which are harmful to cats. Broken ceramic can also cut paws and mouths, so keep your cat away from the area until you've swept up carefully. Keep plates out of reach and offer your cat his own meal at set times. If he eats something worrying, call your vet. A long-haired cat also needs regular brushing, especially after a messy dinner.

Luigi is chewing slowly, hoping nobody will notice. The pasta is gone, the plate is in pieces and the floor is a bit red. His fluffy tail is the only part of him that looks calm.
