Some cats just win the pretty contest. While all cats are adorable and special in their own way, sometimes, a cat will just blow everyone away. Maine Coons are definitely eye-catching as a whole, too, but even they have their winners.

Recently, one Tortie Smoke Maine Coon kitten proved to be one of the prettiest cats ever. She's only a few weeks old, and already, her rare coloring has her looking like she was hand-painted by angels:

Black Diamond Maine Coons specializes in beautiful European-style Maine Coons, typically in less-common colors. They have a lot of Smoke kittens, a lot of Torties, and some kittens who combine both! It was actually the kitten in this video who started the cattery's Tortie Smoke obsession!

Her name hasn't been shared, but we know she's 11 months old. There was another Tortie in her litter that they just couldn't part with, though her pattern is less extreme than this one. This girl's half Orange Smoke face is just too perfect!

When you put the sisters together, it's really interesting: both are Tortie Smoke cats, but they look completely different. It looks like their mom's printer ran out of ink!

So much range in this color for uniqueness! I'm obsessed #cat#mainecoon#kitten#mainecoonkittens#cattok

It looks like the sister on the left is a little more like a traditional Tortie, while the one on the right got more of those "Smoke" genes. I love when stuff like this happens: it really shows that no two kittens are ever exactly alike!

More About Tortie Smoke Maine Coons

Tortie Smoke Maine Coons are uncommon, but if you can find one, they're absolutely stunning. They're often lighter than traditional Tortie Maine Coons.

Tortie Smoke Maine Coons are born when you cross a Tortoiseshell mom with a Smoke dad: it has to be that way because all Tortoiseshell cats are female. When it comes to to Dad, though, there are lots of options, including:

  • Black Smoke.
  • Silver Smoke.
  • Blue Smoke.

The rarest of all of those potential combinations is the Blue Smoke Tortie Maine Coon, though the sweet girl in this video is a close second. She's just so pretty!
