Inari: The Adventurous Spirit of J&K’s Midwest Maine Coons

Hello! My Name is Inari!

I am a Black Silver Classic Tabby Maine Coon and a proud queen at J&K’s Midwest Maine Coons.

I was named after the Shinto Kami, Inari Okami, a revered goddess of foxes, fertility, rice, tea, sake, prosperity, and worldly success. Like my divine namesake, I embody grace, nurturing strength, and a quiet presence that radiates serenity. My name reflects my role in the cattery, bringing beauty, balance, and divine charm to every litter I raise.

A Unique and Regal Personality

I’m a Maine Coon with a personality that’s as unique as my name. While I’m deeply independent and love to relax in my favorite sunny spots, I also have a sweet side. When my humans are unwinding, I enjoy curling up near them or offering a quiet moment of affection—on my terms, of course! As a queen, I know what I like, and I’m not shy about making my preferences known.

I’m also the adventurer of the cattery, often found in the catio soaking up nature. Whether I’m lounging in the breeze, chirping at birds just out of reach, or observing the world around me, I truly come alive in the outdoors. My playful fascination with water is another of my quirks. You’ll often find me dipping a paw into a bath or gently batting at ripples, adding a touch of whimsy to quiet moments.

What Makes Me Special

  • My Silky, Short Coat: Unlike most Maine Coons, my coat is shorter and incredibly easy to maintain. It’s resistant to mats, sheds less, and requires minimal grooming, making me an ideal choice for families seeking the elegance of a Maine Coon with less upkeep. My fluffy tail, however, rivals any queen’s crown!
  • A Quiet Companion: I’m the most reserved of the cats at J&K’s, preferring subtle gestures over loud meows. My gentle presence speaks louder than words.
  • A Confident Queen: I’m known for being calm and self-assured, bringing balance and tranquility wherever I go.

A Devoted and Nurturing Mother

Motherhood is where my true grace shines. With my first litter, I balanced attentiveness with independence, always watching over my kittens while giving them the space to grow and explore. I encouraged their natural curiosity and confidence, helping them become well-rounded companions. My nurturing nature ensures that every kitten I raise is loved, cared for, and prepared to thrive in their new homes.

Why Families Love My Kittens

My kittens are a reflection of my best qualities:

  • Playful yet Independent: They inherit my curiosity and adventurous spirit, making them delightful companions.
  • Gentle and Quiet: Like me, they have a calm demeanor, perfect for families seeking a serene and loving addition.
  • Strikingly Beautiful: They often feature my sleek, easy-maintenance coat and regal markings.
  • Healthy and Strong: Thanks to my genetic testing and the care I receive, my kittens are as robust as they are beautiful.
