With its magnificent appearance, the Maine Coon is one of the largest pedigree cats in the world. You can see a cute trait that you wouldn't think these cats have in this TikTok video.
Almost 90,000 followers are interested in the beautiful large and small Maine Coon cats, which are featured on the @kanala_mainecoon TikTok channel.
In one of the videos, which recently went through the roof, you can see Kobe the cat, a six-month-old Maine Coon with a blue coat. Under the title "When his voice doesn't match his face" you can see the magnificent young cat, who is filmed from below and looks even more sublime from this perspective.
After all, Maine Coons reach a size of up to 42 centimeters (ground to head). In length (nose to tail tip) the female cats grow up to one meter long, males even reach a stately length of up to 1.20 meters.
In slow motion, the cat reaches out with his mighty paw in the direction of the camera. The characteristic ears wobble dangerously from his powerful movement. Menacing violin music accompanies the scene impressively. Kobe's big eyes look powerfully over the viewer. What follows then excites the TikTok community:
This is followed by everyday, rather hectic shots from Kobe's everyday cat life. Filmed from above, the grey cat suddenly appears much cuter and tamer. You can see and hear Kobe meowing into the camera in a delightful, bright voice.

The surprise effect is guaranteed, because the viewer would never trust a cat of these dimensions with such a sweet voice. So far, a total of 8.8 million users have watched the young Maine Coon cat playfully and cooing over tiles, meowing at scratching wood and helplessly begging for food. Its meow is so high that it would be more likely to be assigned to a baby cat or a particularly small cat than to one of the largest pedigree cats in the world.
2.3 million users found the difference between the awe-inspiring Maine Coon cat and his cute voice too cute and left a like on the TikTok account. Many users and cat owners obviously know about this phenomenon and are reassured that they are no longer alone with it:

Kobe's behavior from the TikTok video fits the personality of Maine Coon cats: house cats of this breed are particularly affectionate and love to cuddle. Her calm disposition contrasts with her wild-looking appearance. They are even famous for their heartwarming meow. But why do cats actually meow?
Why do cats meow?
The cat-typical meow is a remnant from the childhood of the velvet paws. The blind newborn kittens rely on sounds in their communication to draw the cat's mother's attention to them. With the help of purring and meowing, the kittens communicate their needs to the mother cat, such as hunger or feeling cold. If the mother cat purrs herself, she calms her kittens and gives them orientation.
Through their meowing, cats communicate primarily with humans – some more frequently, others less frequently. When adult cats communicate with each other, meowing takes a back seat as a means of communication.
However, genetics play an important role in this part of feline language: there are breeds that naturally meow more often than others. These include, for example, Siamese cats and Oriental Shorthair cats. The character of a cat can also ensure that individuals simply have more to contribute to a topic than other conspecifics.
However, if your cat meows more or differently than usual, there may be various reasons that need to be clarified.
