Maine Coon Cat's Pretty Polka Dot Eyebrows Are Too Handsome

I love it when animals have little eyebrows. This is typical of some, like Rottweilers and Dobermans, but as far as cats go, it's a little less common. Cats don't have eyebrows! It would make them look way too wise!

Recently, though, one Maine Coon challenged that. He does indeed have some precious polka dot eyebrows, and they make him look so sophisticated and handsome. You have to see him for yourself:

And yes every single Maine Coon has a baby meow #mainecoon#catsoftiktok#cattok#mainecooncat#bigcat

Wild Mane Maine Coons must be putting something in the water there, I swear. How can every single cat they have turn out to be the most beautiful cat I've ever seen in my life?! I think it's a combination of their:

  • Fluffiness.
  • Sheer size.
  • Sharp, angular faces.
  • Unique colors and patterns.

If you're into that super sharp, almost lion-like look too, that's the European Maine Coon. That's what Wild Mane specializes in, though cats having eyebrows is completely random.

The one in this video has a very baby-like meow, which is typical of most Maine Coons. They may look big and scary, but they're just fluffy little babies! All they want is love, affection, and to use you as a climbing gym:

Whether the kittens at Wild Mane are raised with love or not is absolutely not up for debate: their caretaker adores them so much! She wants them to be the best cats they can possibly be, eyebrows or not!

Do Cats Have Eyebrows?

This cat definitely looks like he has eyebrows, but they're not really eyebrows: they're just well-placed patches of fur. They're handsome, but they're not eyebrows!

Maine Coons, and cats in general, don't have eyebrows in the traditional sense. If they have a change in color above their eyes, it's coincidental. However, they do have whiskers above their eyes that serve as sensory receptors. They detect:

  • Movement in their space.
  • Changes in air currents.
  • Debris in the air, and then they force the cat to blink.

You can't always see these whiskers, but they're there! They're hiding somewhere in this cat's real eyebrows!
