  • How'd you get her to do this? I'm getting a Maine Coon soon..

  • Maine Coons are great cats, we have one, SmokeyToes plays fetch and plays in water too! And he's HUGE, 20 lbs and 37 inches long. By the way, if you want a MC cat, you don't need to go to a breeder, we got ours from a rescue agency. There are plenty of pure breed rescue cats that need homes, check with a rescue agency first!

  • How cute. Your cat is watching out for your retarded kid while it's in the tub.

  • @TheKingHowardStern Why are you calling the baby retarded? Think it's funny? Some people just don't make sense :/

  • I have the same rubber ducky....

  • its the toys it wants not the water/bath

  • My 3 month old main coon does the same thing to me. :)

  • wow, what a great cat and a great name! my maine coon branston hates the sounds of my little cousins, yours loves your childs, maine coons are such good learners! mine always goes dreamy around running water too, i think its because they were orginally mountain cats

  • I got a cat Payton from a local animal shelter. He's not pure Maine Coon, but definitely got some of the breed in him. Apollo looks quite a bit like him, this made me SMILE :-)

  • How is the cat with the baby? When i was young (1-5) mine attacked me, vigorously but playfully. Now 18 I was wondering if yours does the same?

  • aw yer kitty is so gorgeous

  • Beautiful coat and cool name! :D

  • Baywatch Apollo!! LOL...I love him, he's such a prince and he's so watchful and gentle with Ella.

  • Fwoofy kitty... aww. My kitties sometimes do that too. : 3

  • Apollo thinks he is keeping Safe Watch over your baby.

    I guarantee you if something happened like your baby slipped under

    Apollo would find you and make you aware immediately.

    He truly is being your childs Guardian. Cats are very smart.

  • LIFEGUARD KITTY!

  • The entire video, I expected Apollo to jump right in, lol. I was staying at my cousin's once and they have a coon who can apparently open doors. I was taking a shower and all of a sudden, a black blob darts into the bathtub with me, scaring me silly. When I realize it's just the cat playing around with the water, I calm down, finish my shower and take him with me when I go out. He's still sopping wet and everyone just laughed themselves sick at the sight of him and of what happened to me.

  • If you want a true Maine Coon, you need to go to a breeder. I don't know where you live, but if you google Maine Coon Breeders you will get a list of breeders in your area. They sell pet quality cats. If you want the qualities of a Maine Coon, you should go to a reputable breeder. We got both Apollo and Jasper from the Koontahdin Cattery and her cats are beautiful!

  • I really want a Maine Coon! I'm a HUGE cat lover! Where does one get one of those cats, just as a pet and not for show?

  • The maine coon me and my now ex b/f used to have would always watch me when I was in the pool of our apartment complex( our apartment overlooked the pool which made it easy for him to see) he would his front paws on the window sill and meow the whole time

  • I love how Apollo is so involved but very calm as well as curious.  And Ella seems to find the cats interesting but not alarming in any way. Each of your videos is so sweet - what lovely images of family life!

  • That's so cute! My Maine Coon does the same thing. If I decide to relax in the bath, I have to be careful to shut the door all the way. Otherwise she sits on the side of the tub and stares at me. awkward. lol.

  • Hey! My wife and I have a maine coon named Apollo that does this same thing too!

  • Haha no way we also have a maine coon named apollo

  • use to own a maine coon called pumpkin ( or punk punk for short) he loved to walk around the bathtub to!

    sadly he ran away one day and never came back..

  • What a lovely sensative post, I agree with previous messages re not filming your baby. Your cat is absolutely beautiful, so attentive & engaged. All good things to you. x

  • It almost looks like Apollo is playing gaurd kitty. "Yep,...nothin' gonna happen to Ella while i'm here."

    That's so cute! :3

  • Oh my gosh, I can't believe it! I have a Maine Coon named Apollo too!

  • What a brilliant name for a cat!

  • Now jump in the bath \o/

  • I'm sorry that you lost your cat... :-(

  • love MCs. this looks like my baby : ( she gone now.

    Rotten --Dec 2000 - Jan 12 2006

  • Thankyou for being a sensible parent and not showing your child naked on youtube. It drives me mental when I see how stupid some people can be on here. Your cat is beautiful.

  • @VeronicaFisher

    Thank you for your kind comment. I agree that youtube in not the place for bathtub video. But I wanted people to see Apollo interact with Ella during bathtime! So cute!!

  • @VeronicaFisher wait so.. not showing a naked baby on youtube is important eh? you are implying that babies are sexy now. yeesh...

    i for one do not get aroused when i see a naked baby. the times they are a changin, i guess...

  • @feiggit wait so.....how old are you troll?

    Suggesting that it is not always a safe decision to show your child NAKED online does not imply that babies are sexy, only that there are some people out there that may find them so. Since a child is not at an age where they can make decisions regarding their own safety yes I do think it's important to keep them off here, if only because it's better to be safe than sorry.

  • @feiggit Unfortunately alot of people do not put enough thought into what they put online or the fact that it is permanent. These comments, your facebook pics, that chatroullette video of you masturbating with tweezers could all have been copied by someone on the internet only to resurface on some future employers desktop. So you keep that in mind and have a lovely day. :D

  • @VeronicaFisher no, unfortunately, i am not trollin ya. if that were the case, there probably would have been more active requests for nothing but naked babies 24/7.

    no no, a person's choice to not put their naked baby on youtube is fine by me. but when people then comment on how prudent and admirable a choice that is, it implies that those who DO choose to put their naked baby on youtube should somehow be ashamed for doing so. to which i say, lighten up, it's a frikkin baby not a porn star.

  • @feiggit No I don't believe that is what you accused me of in the first place. You said that by suggesting that I find it admirable to not show a naked child on youtube that I am thereby suggesting babies are sexy. That is what is called a non sequitur.

    And yes I do realise that by making that statement I am implying that those who DO choose to put their naked babies on youtube should be ashamed. As I have already said, I don't think people put enough thought into their online presence

  • @VeronicaFisher who really cares? they show naked babies in movies all the time

  • that's my dog's name. my maine coon's name is buggzy... and neither of them LOVES TO TAKE A BATH!!!!!

  • our main coon loves to hang out with us when we are in the shower or taking a bath she will stair into the water if we are bathing and meow at us if we are in the shower but she HATES actually getting wet if we put her in the tub she freaks out.

    main coons are the best cats they are very smart and good natured my fav kind of kitty!!!

  • Maine Coons are a very Majestic breed mostly docile their size comes with some serious power & speed if they feel cornered or under threat I personally Know of an account of an otherwise docile Maine coon jumping 6 feet in the air and seriously scratching his owners scalp. I later found the woman had been shaking her hair at the cat in a playful manner a "game" that had been played before without consequence. as they age this friskiness is replaced with laziness ! Love your Maine coon!!

  • that's so cute.

  • they do a type of trilling. Are there any maine coon parents who have temperamental maine coons? Mine is lovey when we are in the bathroom, but rarely any other time. And do only maine coons wrap their tales around so delicately and regal, or are there other breeds that do the same. You know the wrap I mean.

  • Hi, Thanks for your comments. Maine Coons are such individuals. Apollo makes the sweet trilling noise, while Jasper meows very loudly. Our first maine coon was a loner whose favorite spot was atop my curio cabinet. My 2 cats have the same father but different mothers. Apollo is extremely social and wants to be with you while I call Jasper regal. He loves attention and petting, but doesn't seek it out like Apollo. The best part of these boys is how gentle they are with babies. Great cats!

  • @CTCADietclerk

    My MC is very friendly, but mostly in the bathroom. Always follows me in and wants to be held and loved on. Any other time things are HER way. She also does the trilling. I think the only downfall is when she wakes me up in the early morning to play fetch. Or when she stashes all my hair ties. lol LOVE maine coons. We are looking to add another to our family.

  • my maine coon will sit there and stare at the water but never get in i tried to nudge him but then he got scared and ran

  • okathyol very good job with this video. Very tasteful. I'm glad there wasn't a shot of the baby on this video. We all know what kind of weirdo's are on the web... She sounded cute ! She tried very hard in saying the word "cat" .. notice?.. LOL!.. Apollo is absolutely gorgeous... and didn't get in the way or bother you. Beautiful.

  • @nelied Thank you!!

  • @okathyol I have a three year old Niece. Would a maine coon be good with a three year old?

  • @coolsax64

    Most Maineconns are, but my friend's 3 year old is afraid of his cat, he scratched her once unprovoked (at least it looked that way) and another time tried to claw her because she stepped on by accident (both of them were fine)

  • MY fmr boyfriend lived in an apartment in Cali that overlooked the complex's pool. Every time I was in it, our Maine Coon would put his front paws on the window and meow at me! I always figured he hated water (like most cats) and it was his way of saying "mom! water is bad!"

  • he just wants the toys.. haha.. beautiful kitty, i wish my maine coon had the white paws... :( are you british? ell-er.. i love it. :)

  • What a beautiful cat!

  • Oh I just LOVE Apollo!!! He is so very cute, and he looks like you could just snuggle him! Such a sweet boy :)

  • Maine Coons don't talk much, do they? I think my cat has a lot in him, but he rarely meows and when he does, it's so soft and quiet lol.

  • Duck! There's a duck! Gimme the duck! :P

  • My mainecoon mix won't let me take a shower unsupervised. XD

  • I agree with Mauro, there is no way. My Maine coon is 5 months old and it is nowhere near that massive. Typo maybe?

  • Nope, he is really only 5 months old in this video. He had very large parents. Now he is so large that I can barely pick him up! He's awesome!

  • He's only 5 months and he's already that big....

  • My Maine Coon Genji loves water. When i'm showering he will jump on the back of the toilet and pop his head or paw around the curtain.

  • my cat, Junior, looks just like Apollo!!! (the way you can tell if your cat is a maine coon is if their fur makes a "M" on their fore head) it's strange that most maine coons that look like Apollo have BROWN paws. My cat Junior has white paws too. (very,very,VERY, strange . . .

  • MauroArzu, maine coon cats are really big... i think the owner would know how old her own cat is.

  • Beautiful, sweet cat.

    I appreciate how you enunciate "cat" for the baby very clearly. I'll bet she ends up being very articulate because of your good example.

  • Thank you! Ella has turned out to be an amazing talker. She comes up with words and sentences that sounds like an adult. She still loves Apollo! And now she has a little sister who goes crazy over the cats. I'll get some video of that and post it. Thank you to everyone for your lovely comments!

    Kathy

  • Nice Kitty

  • so big for 5 months!!!! i love him!!!

  • i don't think the cat is 5 months old?

    how old is the cat?

  • I love how cats always seem to be the bathroom attendants in the house, lol.

  • ahh my maine coon is apollo too!!!! altho i dont think he is all maine coon i got him from a barn but he is big and looks exactly like one

  • We have three Maine coons ! All 8 year old neutered males!We go thru 8 kgs of cat food a week and lotsa litter...but we love them!

  • Apollo's a great name for a cat. He's really handsome.

  • he he my main coon loves water soo much we have to close the bath room doors

  • Are Maine Coons a good idea in a small apartment?

  • yeah as long as you play with them a lot.

  • My first apartment was small, and we had our Maine Coon there initially. He got by just fine. They just seem to have more energy than most breeds and need to be played with a lot, but that's no big deal.

  • my maine coon got in the shower with me lol

  • Maine coons love water - I have one too - love them !

  • its funny cause when im in the shower my black lab pushed the door open and licks the shower courten

  • lol, I have a lab mix. They like water & they are self-appointed guardians.

  • I think the males are more friendly then the females (for some unknown reason). My boy's such a sappy little guy, and is also a complete pig. Me and him are so alike, all we think about is food like every second of the day. So not good! I'm gonna try and get him on youtube.

  • I agree, but we have 2 Maine Coon Cats and the male is a Darling and the Female is kinda of Cranky and not no where as friendly as the male, but it was told to me when doing research that The Maine Coon Cat is the most Friendly cat you will ever find in the world. I know this is true..

    I have had lots of Cats growing up and the male is just so laid back and mellow and boy does he love to Cuddle with ya,

  • I don't think that's entirey true. For the majority, you're probably right. But my maine coon is a male, and he's an evil cat! He steals my dog's toys and bites alot of people.

  • omg every video i watch i just fall more in love with maine coons! APOLLO IS SOOOO CUTE!!!! question: does anyone know if males or females are better (more friendly dont scratch/bite) ya no that kind of stuff. cuz i want to get one but as far as i can see both genders seem very friendly and very well behaved. HOW CAN I CHOSE?!?! =D

  • Well female Maine Coons seem more how do I put this SASSY mine is!!

    but thats just my point of view..

  • I think he's thinking if he can eat the toys.

    I miss my baby. He was such a beautiful main coon.

  • my main coon yr old cat, JoJo always whines when someone is about to take a shower in come in. He'll check inside like in the vid. weird. do all main coons do that?

  • Most Maine Coon's love water! Not necessarily a bath though!

  • my other main coon Chi-chi (JoJo's mommy! ^^) hangs out in the bathroom and the minute she sees/hears water, she runs out. So cute!

  • oh my I just love your Maine coon! So cute! Maine coons do love the water, and some say it's because they're ansestors live on boats for such a long time. (But I think it's because they're the cutest cats ever! ^_^)

  • I think he's just playing lifeguard and watching over his family member!

    He's adorable.

  • My Maine Coon does the same thing, and loves to even drink the water.

  • Apollo is beautiful!! I love it when he looks at you, lol

  • That is soooo cute! My Maine Coon, Amelia, has also taken to sticking her head past the shower curtain into my shower while I'm showering. She also likes to climb into the tub after I have showered. Is this a behavior specific to Maine Coons?

  • my ucles maine coon does the same thing except it opens thos glass dorrs for the show and the curtain and jumps in its cute and all but its just weird seeing the cat watch you take a showeru try take out of the tub but its like 30 paunds

  • mine ALWAYS go into my tub after i shower!

  • are Maine Coons love to dip there paws in the fish tank

  • My Maine Coon loved being in the bathroom when someone was taking a bath. She would stand on the ledge like Apollo did, and just watch the water or the person in the tub. So cute...

    I lost my baby to HCM last Sunday...please get your Maine Coon checked out for it. It's estimated to affect 25-33% of Maine Coons

  • I lost two aging Maine Coons over a year ago....the best pets ever. We just got a pair~ a brother and a sister and they love watching us bath. Has Apollo ever jumped in?

  • oh my xD THat cat is so gorgeous I love how Large it is <33333

  • Apollos lifeguarding! Main coons are the PERFECT family cat, especially good with kids! I love them!

  • He is absolutely beautiful!! I would love to have a maine coon!

  • Check out your local shelter[s] or look up a Maine Coon rescue group....same Gentle Giant at a fraction of the cost.

  • Merci! Où vivez-vous ?

  • He is a Maine Coon Cat and his name is Apollo. We also have a Maine Coon named Jasper.

  • Ah they're soooo obsessed with water, he's not missing a trick

  • haha whoppsie doosie ells!

  • I have a Maine Coon just like Apollo, but her fur is much longer! She loves watching the water, too. :)

  • aw noellenc, why dont you make a video about your kitty?

  • "you are a crazy kitty, you are a crazy kitty" " oooh look at you, you are so funnyyyh"

  • I think my kitten might have some Maine Coon in her. I've started taking more baths (as opposed to showers, not as opposed to being filthy) because she hangs over the edge or sits on the rim and reaches in to play with the water, shaving cream lids, etc. This morning (day 4) I found one of her toys in her water dish... any time I turn on water she's right there wanting a look. This video really made me think that i do have a half MC :)

  • i gonna get a maine coon and i'll name it after apollo

  • apollo wants a bath.

  • Maine coon - best cats in the world.

    I have two - Loki and Odin and I fucking love them.

    They are wild, beautiful but yet gentle and loving.

    Great cats

    Thanks for sharing - your Apollo is a great and beautiful cat!

  • i got maine coon

  • La mia gatta è Maine Coon degli stessi colori di Apollo si chiama Dafne e fa le fusa quando le facciamo il bagno (anche se si sentono poco o niente, solo che vibra sotto il mento)

    Splendido gatto!

  • So wonderful i LOVE main coons my kitteh is part main coon

  • My cat does that when I'm in the tub, but it's not as interesting as a baby in the tub with toys, plus he is not even 2 yet. His attention span isn't that long, but he does love to watch and jump up like that and tries to bat the water a little hehe

  • Oh, and he is a Maine Coon too but a little more black than Apollo :)

  • They are amazing animals aren't they?

  • aweeee <3

  • OMG, your kitty is making me cry, hes absolutely beautiful, and hes marked just like my Puddin, she was a FULL maine coon we adopted from the pound when she was a kitten--I had her 16 years, she left us this past Decemeber, I miss her everyday. Your kitty is a treasure!

  • This cat officially has a longer attention span than me. My girlfriends coon cat tried to get into the shower with her the other day. *****

  • My cat used to watch me take a bath too when I was a kid.

  • I hope my grandchildren remember this too!

  • I have two brother Maine Coons, Gunther and Klaas. Gunther opens doors just like the posted video, and Klaas turns on my water faucets if I'm not around. Worse than kids!

  • We have a new tub and the cats know how to turn on the faucet. I have to be sure that the drain is always open or we'd have a flood!

  • soooo cute! I think your coon is bigger than mine XD

  • i shower my maine coon haha

  • Does he like it?

  • yeah he actually doesnt mind it.. hes sooo furry

  • Maine Coons sind einfach wunderbare Katzen und mit sogenannten "Hauskatzen" nicht vergleichbar.

  • Can someone translate this to English for me? I think it says that Maine Coons are wonderful cats and.....then I lose it. Thanks!

  • (ahem)

    Maine Coons are simply wonderful cats; you can't even compare them to so-called "house cats."

  • Thank you! What a cute comment!

  • i have a maine coon and they are the best!!!!!

  • the earliest ancestors of the Maine Coon came to N. America in the 1600's, brought along as mousers for the ships on the Atlantic crossing

    Only the toughest cats survived the harsh colonial New England winters, and through natural selection developed long water-resistant coats, tough thick paws, size and other traits.

    All Maine Coons are fascinated by water, perhaps rooted genetically in their origins...but this does not extend to ever wanting to jump in the bath & get all wet!

    Beautiful cat

  • i gonna get a maine coon and i'll name it after apollo

  • Such an attentive cat!

  • He thinks he's human! Or at the very least a dog! He is a really great cat...his brother Jasper is getting so big, I can't believe it. I'll try to get more video of him online.

  • Maine coons are just lovely! I don't have one but I have a loveable mut who we believe is part maine coon because of his huge size and bone structure. And he's a big ol' sweetheart.

  • beautiful cat, i love your apollo!

  • As a fellow Cat Lover I just had t let you know your cat is adorable!

  • Thank you. He is a great pet and a real clown. I have to get some new videos of my guys posted...

  • I love and adore the woman in this vid. She has the most lovely and sweet voice...and the cat is nice too ;)

  • Oh my goodness...that is so sweet! You made my day!

  • How do you call this coat colour????

  • He is Brown Classic Tabby.

  • I thought it was marbled. Thanks for the answer. Now I know what I'm looking for.

  • Maine Coons are great with kids, dogs, and are much smarter than an ordinary cat. Even though I love all cats, I know without a doubt that Maine Coons are special.

  • they are one of the five natural native american felines. they're all fur, not fat, flat as a flounder.

  • They are pretty muscular as adults. They grow for about 3 years before they reach their full size. My adolescent cat Jasper is surprisingly muscular.

  • Umm do you actually understand that Maine coon's are one of the largest domestic cat species? and the most intelligent.

    It's an expected size and weight.

  • These cats can weigh upwards of 25 lbs when full grown. They are very muscular and agile for their size.

  • Feed it Diet Coke

  • He's not fat...he's just a kitten!

  • is he on a diet?

  • also just so you know healthy cats are supposed to have a little fat on them, they are not dogs, if your cat doesn't have a small amount of belly then you are a neglectful owner.

  • That is so funny, the cat thinks of the baby as another cat. That is such a great video.

  • He's pretty big for being 5 months old only if I'm not wrong.

    How does maine coons and little kids work together?

  • Maine coons are good with kids (in fact I grew up with one since I was 5, back in 1994). The breed of cat typical is larger than most cats

  • my cat fears water.

  • Most cats do, but it seems that Maine Coons as a breed love it.  They are more like dogs than cats! They are very intelligent as well.

  • They are very dog-like! I like to say that mine combines all the worst features of cats and dogs. ;)

  • i'd have to say mine has all the best feature of dogs and cats. he plays fetch, chases his tail, very extroverted and loves people like dogs. plays in the water like a dog, but doesn't pee and poop everywhere. Maine coons are great.

  • i agree with you my cat tobby,when he want to poo or pee he goes to a sand to poop and pee.

  • My cats are the same way lol one of mine jumped into the hot tub when i was cooling it down :P

  • Last night when I was giving my grandaughter a bath last night, he went into the tub! I couldn't believe it! What a funny cat. I hope my grandbaby remembers this when she grows up!

  • I hope you videotaped that. I can't believe it!! hahaha

  • What a beautiful cat! I would love to have another Maine Coon! Mine loved water too :)

  • I have a Maine Coon called Wookie! Very similar in colour to Apollo....Maine Coons are the BEST

  • Ours will sit in the bath and play with a dripping tap for ages!

  • I love Apollo's reaction to "What do you see in there?" What a beautiful kitty..and what a great thing your little girl will grow up and enjoy the kitty too. Thanks for sharing.

  • i know i meen regular cats

  • all cats hates water

  • <
