If Grumpy cat can make millions this one should too. Very unusual.

I expect him to be on Greg Gutfeld’s show in the near future.

Impressive. The ear tufts scream of being bred with a bobcat or such.

Perhaps he will be the meme successor to Grumpy Cat[RIP]?

That is one BAD ASS looking cat! Not a fan of the feline at all, but he looks absolutely astonishing.

Most Maine coons are beautiful, with a full head of fur. This one’s scary-looking and mean-looking. It’s not the face of a Main coon that I am used to seeing.

Maine Coon, eh?
Maybe on his paw’s side, but I wonder about the maw.

He reminds me of some of the stylized lions you see in a lot of heraldry...

Maine Coons are the best! Very intelligent, often telepathic; plus soft and silky when they deign to let you hold them. The guy in this story appears quite magnificent:

I named my Maine Coon Wolfie because she looks like a werewolf, with ultra pointed tuffed ears and intense yellow eyes.

The late Colonel Meow's more evil cousin?

Another fearsome feline with ambitions to rule the world?
