The Maine Coon Admiral Wore a Ruff Like a Lion's Mane Over His Gold Coat

AI imagemaine coonnapoleonic portraitadmiral

Long silver whiskers, tufted ears and an enormous fluffy ruff of white fur make this Maine Coon look like a lion in uniform. The admiral wears a navy coat with a row of gold buttons and a pair of broad gold epaulettes with thick fringes. His eyes are yellow-amber and calm, and the dim, columned background is painted in smoky greens and browns. Admiral Frost looks wise and a little majestic, ready to command a fleet or at least to take the best spot on the sofa and claim it for the Navy.

Maine Coons are one of the largest domestic cat breeds, famed for shaggy fur, big paws and a friendly, gentle nature. They are often called gentle giants and tend to enjoy company, though they usually are not clingy. Their long coat needs regular brushing, especially behind the legs and on the belly where tangles form, and a sturdy comb is useful. They often chirp and trill instead of meowing loudly. They take several years to grow fully, so feed a diet suited to their life stage, and ask your vet about joint health. A tall, strong cat tree is a worthwhile investment for such a large cat.

The sea is wide, but the admiral is wider. With a ruff like that, no storm would dare argue, and no sailor would argue with the best seat in the house.
