Maine Coons are the largest domesticated breed of cats in the world. They're basically small lions for your house. Photographer Robert Sijka wants to introduce you to Maine Coons to show you just how majestic they are.
"My ions are cats and photography, I do my best to combine these two things as good as possible," says Sijka.

Maine Coon cats were the official cat for the state of Maine up until 1985! They also love being in water, which is a far cry from any cat I've ever owned.
