Maine coon kitties from Italy- the "Awesome Eight"

Maine coon kitties from Italy! This litter of eight Maine coon kittens comes from the cattery "Trilloteam". And, bonus, it's the first YouTube posted by them. I look forward to many more!


The direct link is here.

A while back, Michael Broad (who writes my favorite all round cat sites- Pictures of Cats and the Pictures of Cats Blog) and I had a chat about using Helmi Flick's great photo of "The Magnificent Seven" to start a "can you tell which is male and which is female?" quiz. I had my guesses! We both got sidetracked, but the link to that great Helmi Flick photo of a litter of seven Maine coon kittens is here .

So, when I saw the YouTube of eight! Maine coon kittens (The Awesome Eight?), I just had to reprise the idea. I took the liberty of capturing some screen shots from the YouTube, and then made my own guesses. I got a bit of a hint by checking out the page at Trilloteam re: the kitties here , which says there are 3 males and 5 females in the Awesome Eight. Here are my guesses as to which are male and which are female. Most seemed obvious to me, especially the Alpha Male who I identify as "m!!!". I wasn't sure about two, but my best guesses are m? and f? for those two.

  2. Hi Antonella!

    Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment. I was really curious to know how I did on the f/m calls.

    Oh my! I am so pleased I got this correct. There's an old American saying- "breaking my arm patting myself on the back!"

    I'm not sure I could have done this well for any breed except Maine coons. But, I've looked at a gazillion pictures of Maine coons, starting long before I adopted my Maine coon "Tootsie". Of course, I am fascinated by Maine coons!

    I watched your YouTube many times, trying to see if I could figure out the m/f thing. Actually, it was only the f? and the m? that puzzled me, and why I had to watch so many times. The rest were pretty obvious. Especially the "alpha male" m!!!

    Thanks, and best wishes! Looking forward to more YouTubes from you.

  4. Hi Michael- when I found that video I immediately remembered our chat about a quiz- can you identify the cat sex/ gender? ! Not only is it a great video, it gave me the opportunity to test my kitty aptitude! Whew!
