Some time back, we shared the tale of a massive fluffy feline named Kefir that captured the internet’s attention and won over countless hearts. Today, we’re excited to introduce you to another hefty fellow – Vincent, a Maine coon cat hailing from Russia. Vincent stands out not only due to his impressive size and striking large eyes, but also because of his sleek black fur that resembles a black panther’s coat.
This gorgeous cat has a strong presence on TikTok and Instagram, boasting a combined following of over 500 thousand fans. Teaming up with his owners, Andrey and Anastasia, this captivating kitty fills their social media pages with delightful videos and photos that we absolutely adore!

The reason the young couple decided to bring Vincent into their lives was because they sensed a void in their day-to-day routine that he could fill.
Andrey thought it was too soon for them to start a family, so they opted to get a cat instead.

Nevertheless, the couple went ahead and adopted the fluffy feline because his adorable little face won them over right away.

When the couple first laid eyes on Vincent’s picture on the Avito site (which is basically like eBay), they felt an instant connection. “His gaze in the ad just seemed to draw us in.”
“On the day we were taking Vincent to our place, I couldn’t help but notice how many people were curious about him. His elongated body and big head definitely set him apart from other cat breeds, but what really caught everyone’s attention was his expression. A lot of people were saying that he has a human-like look.”
The couple took their time deciding on a name for their cat, wanting it to feel just right. The inspiration for the name Vincent struck Andrey and Anastasia while they were watching the show “Brassic”. The name belonged to the main character and seemed to suit their new furry family member perfectly. Vincent is currently 11 months old and tips the scales at around 20 pounds.
Andrey mentioned that it’s quite a challenge to help him up from the ground, according to image credits from vincent_blackpanther.

“Just like any typical child, our cat is incredibly curious. No matter where we are in the house – whether it’s the bedroom, the shower, or the closet – he always keeps a watchful eye on us. One of his favorite pastimes is playing with a small ball made of foil. He’s quite the expert at playing ‘football’ with this toy, and when he tires of it, he’ll carry it in his mouth to the bed and nudge us to throw it for him. It’s a never-ending cycle of him fetching the ball and us throwing it again. That’s our cat for you – small in size, but big in personality!”

“He always has a strong emotional reaction whenever we sneeze, responding with loud vocalizations in his distinct language.”

Andrey mentioned that their guests are often surprised by not only the large size of their cat but also by the fact that they let him sit with them at the dinner table, or even lie on it while they eat. “He practically takes up the whole table because of his size.”
Another fascinating aspect of Maine Coon cats, as noted by Andrey, is the unique sounds they produce. “Instead of the typical ‘meow,’ they make a more soft and pleasant ‘noise,’ almost like a purring.”
In conclusion, Andrey emphasized that taking care of Vincent is more challenging than it may appear, so people should consider carefully before getting a cat.
