Maine Coon Kitten’s Annoyance Over 7-Week ‘Glow-Up’ Video Is Pure Gold
Maine Coon luxury cat breeder Sassy Koonz cracked us all up when she shared a video of a kitten named Purge getting his seven-week 'glow up' on Tuesday, May 14th. While his mom was excited to show off just how much he'd grown since birth, he doesn't seem to be quite as thrilled.
The video starts with mom holding up Purge when he was a week old. She then holds him up again at weeks two, three, four, five, and six. When she holds him up at week seven, it seems that he's annoyed by the whole thing. I wonder how much longer he'll let her continue to do it!
Fans of the funny Sassy Koonz video got a kick out of Purge's adorable face. @Stizzy pointed out, "It looks like he gets more annoyed each time LOL!" and @stargazer added, "Things got serious at 5 weeks." @bredemels had my favorite comment, "Why is he like 50 years old and 5 weeks old simultaneously?! LOL!" @Stephanie Kelley shared, "I love how it’s round face, no ears. Then boom, 6 weeks, all ears!" and another commenter said, "Love how he just got more detailed."

More About Maine Coons
Maine Coons are beautiful cats, and those looks make everybody want one. In fact, they're one of the most popular breeds around. They are much larger than your standard domestic cat; on average, males weigh 15-25 pounds, while females are 10-15 pounds. Their average height is 10-16 inches, and their tails can add another 12-18 inches to their length. They have those huge furry paws that they use to climb, hunt, and capture their prey. They prefer to stay busy and love to chase mice and birds. They look regal and act like kings and queens. They're the whole package!
Even the way they got their name is cool. They're one of the oldest cat breeds in North America, and as Maine Coon Central explained, "Maine Coons are believed to have originated in Maine...hence the first half of their name. In the early days of the breed, before they reached official status, they were just called Maine cats. Around the mid-20th century their name was changed to the Maine Coon. This is because their tails are so bushy and often striped, so people began to compare them to raccoons, giving them the second half of their name."
Unlike most cats, these cats love water. They even have semi-water-repellent fur, "They have three layers of fur, and the outermost layer helps water to slide easily off their coat instead of soaking them through."
Many people say that these huge cats remind them more of canines than felines. They have a lot of the same traits that loyal dogs do with their owners and families and enjoy spending time with their humans. My husband and one of my daughters are allergic to cats, otherwise, I'd have a Maine Coon of my own!
