They always have been, and they always will be. When they&#8217;re born, they&#8217;re already bigger and fluffier than a regular kitten, and they grow like weeds for several years after.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When they&#8217;re first born, though, is when they&#8217;re the cutest. Before their features sharpen and they start to look like little lions, Maine Coon kittens are some of the most precious beings ever. Especially when they look like tiny polar bears:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@blackdiamondmainecoons\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Black Diamond Maine Coons;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Black Diamond Maine Coons&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Black Diamond Maine Coons<\/a> is a cattery with some of the most beautiful cats in the game. They specialize in European-style Maine Coons, so the ones who grow up to look like little lions. They also have a lot of Maine Coons with this sort of coloring!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When this little kitty was young, he looked nearly identical to a polar bear cub, especially in his face. He looked like the kind of guy you&#8217;d find out in the tundra, battling a seal to survive! However, he&#8217;s in fact a cat, safe and sound with his caretaker. He also has different-colored paws!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/paradepets.com\/pet-news\/pregnant-cat-in-universal-tired-pregnancy-pose\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Pregnant Cat in the Universal \u2018Tired of Being Pregnant\u2019 Pose Has Moms Everywhere Cracking Up;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Related&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Related: Pregnant Cat in the Universal \u2018Tired of Being Pregnant\u2019 Pose Has Moms Everywhere Cracking Up<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Maine Coon Growth Cycle<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The video includes two clips: this cat as a small &#8220;polar bear&#8221; baby, and another when he&#8217;s a little more grown. He&#8217;s still a kitten, but he&#8217;s a few weeks older now, which means he&#8217;s grown a lot. Maine Coons grow rapidly for the first year of their life!

The neck is a big one, often leading to that &#8220;collared&#8221; appearance.
