If there's one thing I love more than anything in the world, it's a rare, super cool cat. Bonus points if they're fluffy and their "name" sounds cool, too! I love all cats, but if I could choose any cat in the world for a pet, I think I want a cool one.

There's one Maine Coon cat on TikTok who definitely checks off all of my boxes. She's a rare, beautiful color, and to boot, she has an adorable stripe on her nose. You just have to see her for yourself:

Skye the Blue Tortie Maine Coon is basically one in a million. She looks like an expensive block of bleu cheese! How fun. I've always hated bleu cheese, but in this form... It's perfect. She is perfect, and her mama knows it, too! She's also got:

  • Fluffy ears.
  • A very pronounced, angular face.
  • An almost perfectly straight stripe down her nose.

Most catteries don't name their cats unless theyre planning to keep them, and Skye looks pretty big already! I think it's safe to say that she's definitely in her forever home.

Skye is definitely the prettiest Maine Coon that East Maines (and possibly any cattery, literally ever) has to offer, but all of them are precious. They're also Maine Coons, which means they love getting in trouble whenever they can:

Sweaters are the best. This one was especially well-positioned to catch some "stray" kittens, since it was in a nice puddle of natural light. There's nothing a cat loves more than some natural light!

What Makes a Blue Tortie Maine Coon?

Blue Tortie Maine Coons, or "Blue Smoke Tortoiseshell" Maine Coons, are super rare. Typically, you'll find one or the other, but almost never both! Skye is exceptional.

Blue Smoke Maine Coons are a light grey color with a slightly blue hue, and because of their "Smoke" pattern, their fur is darker at the base and loses pigment toward the tip.

That lends itself well to being mixed with Tortoiseshell coloring, which causes additional patchwork in their coat. When you mix them together, you get a sweet, loving cat with the coolest blue/grey/orange splatter! It doesn't get better than them.
