Is Megan Thee Stallion’s Maine Coon the most dramatic cat ever?

“Why didn’t anyone tell me that having a cat was crazy? I have a Maine Coon and I don’t feel safe anymore since I got this k***er,” she says in the video. But in the caption, she wishes her feline tormentor a happy National Cat Day.

The comments on her TikTok post are deliberately sympathetic, and they all seem to be saying the same thing: with a tuxedo Maine Coon, this kind of behavior is par for the course. The Globe is here to cut through the drama.

WHAT IS A MAINE COON?

Megan may be a Houston Hottie, but Maine Coons are born New Englanders.

As their name suggests, Maine Coons are a domesticated cat breed native to Maine, where they are the official state cat. The cats usually have a thick, bushy coat that suits the frigid New England winters that early settlers came to miracle if tabby Maine Coons were the product of mating between raccoons and cats. Their large size and typically friendly demeanor have resulted in the breed’s nickname: ‘the gentle giants’.

“Lol wait, I thought cats didn’t like water!” she wondered in the caption.

Since then, 9 has clearly been busy making himself at home with his patient cat mom, as evidenced by the combative habits seen in Megan’s recent TikTok.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR MEGAN AND 9?

Fortunately, as one commenter put it, cats “match their owner’s energy” — and 9 seems like a welcome, yet loving, hyperactive addition to Megan’s growing family, which also currently includes includes six dogs and a lizard named Billiam.

One of Megan’s dogs, a French bulldog named 4oe who connected her on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in May, currently has his own Instagram account. Fans eager for more 9 antics can hope that the rapper will give her newest furry friend the same treatment.
