“How Big Are the Parents?” — Why That’s the Wrong Question


ree

One of the most common questions we get from future kitten owners is:


“How big are the parents?”


It’s a fair question — after all, everyone wants a big, majestic Maine Coon.

But here’s the truth:


You can’t judge a kitten’s future size by the size of its parents.

Why?


Because breeding cats never reach their full genetic potential.


Females stop growing early — once they go into heat and start reproducing, their body redirects energy into pregnancy, birth, and nursing.

Even if they have the genes for a large frame, they won’t reach it.


Breeding males are active and lean — their routine is focused on mating and territory, not on lounging and bulking up like a neutered house pet.


That’s why our kittens often grow much larger than their parents — especially when raised with proper nutrition, space, and love.


💡 So if size is important to you — choose our strong, healthy line and feed generously.


Our kittens are built like lions. Just give them good food — and watch them grow. 🦁
