For cat lovers, there is nothing as satisfying as meeting and winning over new cats.
Now sadly, we can't always access cats, especially at work. There are always these "Puppy Therapy Days," but what about kitten therapy?!
Photographs Show The True Beauty Of Maine Coons
I have science on my side!

It's been proven by science (somewhere, I'm sure) that looking at pictures of cute animals actually improves your mood, so it stands to reason that actually interacting with them would only be more beneficial.
In the meantime, the best thing you could possibly do is look at these breathtaking photos of Maine Coons.

If you, like me, are wondering what the heck a Maine Coon is, let me tell you.
They're a borderline-mythical animal that looks like it belongs outside in the wild but is actually a domestic cat.
Let's all thank Robert Sijka!
Photographer Robert Sijka was so taken by the breed that he has specifically done a Maine Coon series, much to our delight.
Enjoy his incredible work and be sure to let us know if it brightened your day!
They're the closest you can get to having a lynx, and they're absolutely beautiful.
And huge.
See the resemblance?
First of all, Maine Coons are absolutely huge.

Males tend to get up to 18 pounds. Add the fluff on top of that and they get pretty darn big! More to love, if you ask me.
Like all cats, they're pretty inquisitive.

Just look at that face!
But they can also look downright regal.

They start out small and fluffy, like these two.

And they grow into these beautiful, maned cats.

They have the tiniest roars.

Just kidding, they don't roar. This guy is just yawning.
And some of them have that lynx ear thing going on!

Look at those piercing eyes. Oh man.

This fluffy guy does not look impressed.

Look at those toes!

Some Maine Coons come with bonus toes!

Saving the best for last: Little and big. The ultimate "aww."
