Adorable Litter of Maine Coon Kittens Look Like a Tiny Gang of Grumpy Old Men

Maine Coon Kitten

The Maine Coon cat breed has earned the nickname “gentle giant” for their large stature and playful personalities, but take one look at this litter of newborns and you might think differently. Tatyana Rastorgueva, who runs, Casvill County House of Cats where the kittens were born, recently shared photos of the group of young Maine Coons whose tiny faces could double as grumpy old men.

The five gray babies have characteristics of curmudgeonly people—including furrowed brows and upturned lips. You’d almost expect them to yell at you to get off their lawn. Looks, however, are deceiving. In the many sweet videos that Rastorgueva has shared since their birth, these kitties are like any other young cats. They are docile (when not at play) and make little chirping noises that'll melt your heart.
