Having young pets isn’t for the weak. As cute as they can be, their only real job from birth to adulthood is scratching their every curiosity itch. It’s how they figure out the world around them, what’s allowed, what’s not, and mostly, what they can get away with!
Kittens are already equipped with off-the-charts cuteness, but when they get excited during playtime, it transforms into something else entirely. For example, Maska, the Maine Coon, doesn’t tire after multiple rounds of adorable chaos. Watching him go, go, go may give you kitten fever, or you might feel exhausted just watching him!

Maska reminds me of my kids when they were toddlers because there’s no end to his madness in sight. Like an Energizer Bunny, this baby Maine Coon is unrelenting in his play attacks on Mom, and it’s hilarious. Watch him go to work!
“This is my life now,” the post is captioned, and boy, is that relatable as a pet and human kid mom!
Having a curious, energetic kitten means your life revolves around making sure they get enough playtime to wear them out while also keeping a close watch so they don’t get into too much trouble. Something tells me mischief-maker Maska doesn’t slow down until he’s had at least 19 hours of this… which also reminds me of my kids!

The spicy kitty doesn’t just spend his time torturing Mom. There are times she needs a breather, and he wastes no time finding something else to get into. He’s a cutie, but also—he’s definitely all kitten!
As the song goes, “There ain’t no rest for the wicked,” and little 11-week-old Maska isn’t resting one bit. There are far too many exciting things to explore, even toilet paper.
Kittens Typically Play in Bursts
Being around 3 months old, Maska might seem as though he could go for hours, but according to many experts, kittens this age are most likely engaging in playtime for 15 to 20 minutes at a time with rests in between.
This might eventually look like upward of 30 minutes, or more, divided into multiple sessions so they can rest. These bursts are critical for optimal physical and mental development and depend on each kitty’s energy levels.
So, even with Maska’s “4 rounds of chaos,” I’m sure he had the best sleep immediately after, as he geared up for the next match!
