Female Maine Coon Is So Big, She Makes the Males Look Like Kittens
Maine Coons are huge. It's their whole brand: being huge and extremely furry. All Maine Coons are big, but they're not all the same: there are some who are bigger than others, and those cats blow my mind!
The one thing that usually rings true across the breed is that the male cats are bigger than the females. However, for one Maine Coon family... That's not quite the case. This female Maine Coon makes all the males around her look like kittens:

JZ Maine Coons has a ton of beautiful cats, both male and female. This cat, however, blows them all out of the water! Not only is she absolutely massive; she's got the prettiest fur ever. She looks like a Grey Smoke, with the way her fur seems to get lighter. Smoke Maine Coons have a really cool halo effect!
In the video, she can hardly hold her up! You can tell she's a little leaner than the male cats might be, but she is every bit as long and impressive. The male cats in this house definitely try their best to avoid upsetting her!

Make no mistake, male Maine Coons are massive, too. But when you see the two side by side, it'll be nearly impossible to tell them apart:

The biggest difference there is the belly: when she's holding them there, you can see that the orange cat's belly is a little fuller and more solid. As for the grey one, her belly goes in a little. She's in shape! Good for her!
Female Maine Coons Grow Than Males
We don't know exactly how old this girl is, but we do know that she's huge. She definitely seems full grown, at least!
Typically, a Maine Coon won't reach full-grown for 3-5 years. They experience the most significant growth within the first 18 months or so, but they continue filling out until then. Female Maine Coons are done growing at the earlier end of the spectrum. They're usually 10-15 pounds, and about 14 inches tall at their largest.
This sweet girl is definitely on the larger end! She can hold her own against the boys in the house, that's for sure!
