They are just roly-poly bundles of joy with fluffy baby hair.
Viewers can barely handle how cute these little orange Maine Coon kittens are!
One viewer commented, "Baby Cheetos." An accurate assessment!
Another noted that they look more like lion cubs than kittens, and we also agree.
Someone else said, "13 days old and already has so many complaints," observing how vocal these very young kittens are at such a young age.
Indeed, Maine Coon cats are a very vocal breed, and they start using their voice when they are young kittens.
They tend to make meows, chirps, and trills.
The chirps or trills are usually a result of excitement over a bird or squirrel, and the meows are more an indication of wanting something like food or attention.

How Fast Do Maine Coon Kittens Grow?
Now, these 13-day-old Maine Coon kittens are pretty small, but you will be amazed at how fast these little guys will grow.
After all, Maine Coons, one of the largest domestic breeds of cats, typically reach between 12 and 15 pounds for the females and between 18 and 22 pounds for the males.
They will also soon grow those beautiful lynx-like ears with tufts at the ends.
And as you can see, even when they are tiny kittens, they are very confident, energetic, and full of curiosity.
As for how fast these kittens will grow, it's pretty impressive.
These kittens are still considered newborns at 13 days old. Their eyes are sealed shut, and their ears are folded flat, which means they can't hear or see or regulate their own body temperature.
They need their mama cat for everything!
These babies are also expected to gain about 10 to 15 grams per day to reach 300 to 400 grams by 2 weeks of age, according to Maine Coon cat breeder Sassy Koonz.
This means they double their birth rate in only one week!
The real growth you will see is between 3 and 4 weeks of age and 4 and 5 weeks, as they go from scoot-walking to real walking, playing, and jumping, and get up to close to 2 pounds.
Between 5 and 7 weeks old, they start weaning off their mom, eating real food, getting all their vaccines, and becoming socialized.
By 8 weeks old, they are starting to be real kittens with individual personalities and developing that classic Maine Coon face with the big, prominent ears.
Between 9 and 12 weeks of age, females weigh between 2 and 4 pounds, and males come in between 2.5 and 5 pounds.
And by week 12, if they are healthy and have all their shots, they are ready to leave the litter and go to their forever homes!
To see how fast they grow, check out this video of 3-month-old Maine Coon kittens, including an orange one!
