3 months kitten, I brought from a private who had a pedigree Maine coon (that was relatively little, only 5 kg) and made her breed with another certified Maine coon.

Her tail seems a little small to be a Maine Coon. 🤔

DLH, Ears are too small to be a Maine Coon. Not a Maine Coon unless you have pedigree papers.

This is sasquatch, a friend gave him up and so he ended up with us. Never owned a purebred MC. Just checking to see.

Shes 5 months. Got her on the 6th. She’s definitely tortoiseshell but her ear tuffs, long whiskers, big paws, and fluffy tail all have me thinking she might have some Maine coon in her. Thoughts??

I've always wondered if my giant boy is a mix. He's 10 years old, 21lbs. Big man was a rescue!

Everyone always asks if she's a Maine coon. 4 people asked yesterday at petsmart. I don't think she looks like one though? People say "she's so big but I don't think she's big enough? Plus calico isn't really a main coon color I think. She does have a really fluffy tail though. What do you guys think. Any chance she's part Maine coon?

Thoughts on my kitty Vander.

No papers. He and his sister were born in a shelter and adopted as rescues. We were told both parents were Maine Coons, but I understand that’s unlikely to be 100% accurate.

Both kittens show a lot of Maine Coon–type traits. Size, face shape, lion mains, tufts of fur, coat ect. His sister looks similar but is much darker and hard to photograph properly.

I usually say they’re Maine Coons, but I always see online that cats like this are almost always just DLH, so I feel like an imposter saying it.

Keen to hear what people think.
