Giant Maine Coon's ‘Post-Nap Ears' Are the Cutest Bedhead
My favorite feature of literally every animal in the world is their ears. The ears serve so many purposes, and even if you find two animals who look nearly identical... They're going to use their ears in different ways. They're basically a part of their personality!
One Maine Coon's ears are good for determining the quality of his naps. If he took a good nap, he wakes up with ears that look like they've really been through it, and the nap he woke up from in this video was one of the best naps of his life:

Odin the Maine Coon has more fur than anyone I have literally ever seen. Toward the end of the clip, we see him trying to groom himself, but his fur is so long that it's a little bit rough. The fur on his ears sticks straight up in some spots, going askew in others.
It's because he was lying in his cat tree. We can all relate to bedhead, right? He got it sorted pretty quickly with the help of some pets from his mom. She helps him groom sometimes, too, brushing him to get some of the excess fur out. She knows how to take care of her handsome boy!

Odin is only 4 months old, and he's already massive. He's a full-blooded Maine Coon: his dad is a Black Smoke, and his mom is a Blue Smoke. That's where he gets his gently grey-blue color from. You can see it even better in different lighting:

Odin has a sibling, Ash, who really doesn't like him very much. She tolerates him for their mom's sake, but she gets really annoyed. He's so big! He takes up all of her space!
What Do Cats' Ears Tell Us?
Cats use their ears for a lot of things, but one of the most important is how they use them to communicate with us. A cat's ears can give us a glimpse into their mood and even their physical state, better than anything else.
There are a few different positions you'll commonly catch your cat's ears in, like:
- Pulled back against their head: "I'm scared, in pain, or angry."
- Perked up and moving around: "I heard something that caught my interest."
- "Airplane mode": "I'm ready to play. Play, now. Right now."
A cat will switch the position of their ears often. If they're down and back for a long time, though, you might want to call your vet: that's often one of the first signs that they're in pain.
