This Maine Coon Cat Is So Massive, He's Almost As Big As His German Shepherd Sibling
There's a German Shepherd and there's a Goldendoodle. Both are fully grown, both are bigger than your average cat by quite a bit and both are quietly getting shown up by a kitten who isn't even done growing yet.
The TikTok from @sovereignmainecoons sums up the situation perfectly. The transcript says it all: "Two full size dogs and a Maine Coon that's not even fully grown yet. A German Shepherd and a Goldendoodle. Why are you so big? Why are you so majestic?"
The kitten just sits there with his huge paws, long tail and a totally chill vibe. Completely nonchalant. The German Shepherd suspiciously keeps an eye on him. The Goldendoodle does his usual friendly, unbothered thing. And the Maine Coon, even though he's technically the baby here, acts like he's the king and the dogs are peasants.

The comments knew exactly what was going on:
"Cat just sitting there mogging "
"Why do Maine Coons always have that mogging face "
"Maine Coons are just big for fun. I swear because why are you as cute as a kitty cat but that big?"
"Why does he look like Ron Perlman?"
"Dudes a Chad"
And the final verdict: "That Maine Coon is the alpha alright"
It appeared several times in the comments, so what does "mogging" actually mean? According to Merriam-Webster, it's internet slang for straight up outdoing someone, basically looking or doing better than the people around you. It's all over TikTok, Instagram and Reddit these days. The word actually goes back to an early 2000s term, "AMOG," short for "Alpha Male of the Group." Now, Gen Z and Gen Alpha use it for pretty much anything, from a strong jawline to being the tallest person in the room.
In this case, the people getting mogged are two full-grown dogs by a super-sized kitten.
And here's the part that should really worry those dogs: this kitten isn't done growing. Not even close.
How Big Can Maine Coons Get?
Here's the thing about Maine Coons. Most cats are basically full-grown within a year or two. Not these guys. According to Healthy Pet, Maine Coons can keep growing until they're 3 to 5 years old.

Once they're fully grown, males usually end up somewhere between 13 and 18 pounds, and females come in even smaller at 8 to 12 pounds. But honestly, weight isn't even the craziest part. It's their length. From nose to tail, a Maine Coon can stretch anywhere from 18 to 40 inches, with males usually outsizing females thanks to those big furry tails. At the shoulder they stand 10 to 16 inches tall, and if they get up on their hind legs, they can hit 16 inches.
Compared to other big cat breeds like Ragdolls, Savannahs and Norwegian Forest Cats, Maine Coons really stand out for that length.
So this kitten, already holding his own next to two fully-grown dogs, still has several years left to grow into himself.
The German Shepherd and the Goldendoodle might want to get used to the new hierarchy now because it's only going to get more obvious from here.
