Wowza, this Maine Coon is a real stunner! As a kitten, this little dude didn’t look all that different from other kittens. But those ears and paws? They’re dead giveaways that he’s going to grow up to be a big boy.
And in the transformation video, you can see him shoot up in height first before filling out and reaching his full size. Maine Coons are just something else!
People are totally loving this transformation video. One viewer, @inthemomenttexas, was like, “This was so wonderful to watch! Incredibly beautiful cat!” And then @mamoo1952 added, “Amazing job on the progression, truly artistic. Thank you!” Who can say no to a beautifully crafted cat appreciation post, right?

Others are taking this chance to gush over their most-loved cat breed. TikTok user @sherryb44 was like, “I’ll be watching this every day until I have one of my own again,” and another person, @4512288, chimed in with, “Such fabulous cats. One day, I will own one!”
Even if you’ve brought up a kitten from a young age, it’s pretty mind-blowing to see their growth sped up in a video like this. And the fact that we’re seeing it for a Maine Coon – one of the biggest and oldest cat breeds in North America – makes it even cooler!
