A Tail of Three Tyrants is a funny heartfelt memoir about life with three Maine Coon cats who believe they are in charge --- and are mostly correct.
Meet Piper, the silent judge: Gracie, the unapologetic main character: and Artemis, the shy shadow who loves fiercely once she trusts. Together, they turn everyday moments -- early-morning feeding demands, midnight zoomies, vet visits, and guest inspections --- into a portrait of life in a multi-cat household.
This humorous cat memoir isn't a training guide. It's a relatable look at Maine Coon personalities, the chaos of living with cats, and the deep bonds that form when animals become family.
Perfect for cat lovers, Maine Coon Owners, and anyone who enjoys funny animal books and pet memoirs.
We started The Maine Coon Connection out of our pure love for our cats---and a realization that living with Maine Coons with nothing like living with "just a cat".
Through years of experience, trial and error, laughter, grooming mishaps, hair everywhere, and more personality than we ever expected, we learned that Maine Coons are:
And somehow...no one tells you that part.
The Maine Coon Connection is our way of sharing the real side of life with Maine Coons---the funny moments, the relatable chaos, and the useful things we learned along the way. We believe education sticks best when it comes with humor, honesty, and lived experience.
