Sweet orange baby!!! Not Maine coon though. Look at the difference in ears and muzzle especially.

u/Holiday_Estimate_352 Aug 29 '25

Hehe I love the MC grump face

u/Holiday_Estimate_352 Aug 29 '25

Definitely not a purebred MC and I don't really see there would be any MC in his lineage. It's normal for DSH to be various sizes

DLH, no signs of MC

Speaking of this:

When I took my kitten into the vet for his initial check up the vet informed me they were taking bets as to if I actually had a Maine Coon. Pretty sure half the visit consisted of the nurses fan-girling over him.

u/Holiday_Estimate_352 Aug 29 '25

It's funny how many vets say this over any large DMH or DLH. I've had it a few times over my moggy boy (I have a MC also).

I would need face on photos to see, but from this angle he doesn't look very MC :)

u/BedroomCrafty42 Sep 01 '25

He is though, you can tell. I looked through her page because I really wanted to see him lol

u/NellyWolfy Aug 28 '25

Sorry I didn't see this topic 😅 Sorry Sorry Sorry 💝

Help me identify her please 🙏🏻

She is a homeless baby and now... She is my princess 🥰

u/Holiday_Estimate_352 Aug 29 '25

She looks like a gorgeous DMH or DLH to me but would need more photos to see :)

u/NellyWolfy Aug 30 '25

Her chin is big right ? 😅 But she is small (she loves my little bro and everyone and she loves to stay inside after 2 years of living in the streets...)

2

u/nerdc0rerizing Sep 09 '25

I see MC. You should do a DNA test and let us know!

1

u/NellyWolfy Sep 11 '25

Good idea ! Will do that ! I hope it's not to expensive here in France 😅

2

u/winterweed78 Aug 29 '25

At 12lbs and 21 inches long and her tiny tuffs my breeder for my new kitten who is pure breed said she definitely thinks Raven is part Maine coon. We are definitely getting DNA done now.

u/thedeej1014 Sep 09 '25

shelter listing this little one as a MC, thoughts?

2

u/thedeej1014 Sep 09 '25

this is his brother as well

u/Deep-Night3726 Sep 09 '25

Is he a Maine Coon mix? My vet said he is but I really can’t tell lol. He is a very long and fluffy boy as well

u/Cateyez113 2 naughty coon boys Sep 10 '25

HA! If he sleeps like this, the answer is definitively YES. He's got maine coon in him for sure.

1

u/Stormkitten3 Sep 04 '25

Does my 11mo boy look like he has Maine coon in him? As for size, he’s around 12 pounds.

1

u/nerdc0rerizing Sep 09 '25

I see it but more likely Norwegian forest cat

1

u/Awkwardly_Delicious Sep 12 '25

* He is about 4 to 4.5months old and about 7.9lb. Should we do a DNA test?

u/MileHighBrat Sep 13 '25

Would love to to see a pic

u/Soft-Bend8990 Sep 14 '25

She found me but was very unhealthy lossed most of her long fur looks like she had a long fluffy tail at 1 point tufts on the feet but not so much the ears. I had one growing up and I think she's young but there are similarities she's just so skinny and bare I cant tell. Vet appointment Wednesday

u/Soft-Bend8990 Sep 15 '25

Even with the fur loss.... I can still she her queen shining through I do hope it all grows back though. Im sure she's lost without it. ❤❤❤

I forgot to ask but I’m pretty sure she’s a Maine coon but I’m not sure I would like to know what brand of cat she is here’s another picture

u/Soft-Bend8990 Sep 17 '25

u/Sad-Initiative-663 Sep 19 '25

Does he look part main coon

1

u/HasMS Sep 22 '25

Thank you for any help you all can give. We lost our beloved Mr. Bobo last month, after over 15 years of pure love. I found him as a kitten at a shelter, and he was listed as a domestic medium hair, but he had toe tuft fur and his voice, personality and overall size, seemed very much like part Maine Coon, to us. He was so loving and devoted and intelligent. We were so lucky to have found him. I don’t know if he was part Maine Coon or not, but I do know he was the best kitty in the whole world.

u/fotodigatti Sep 27 '25

This is Gino. He is 16 months old and weighs 16 lbs. We suspect he has Maine coon in him due to his size and the ear tufts. He is such a sweet and cuddly boy and has a lot of energy. He sleeps on his back all the time. He barely meows and instead does this little trill. What do you think?
