Thread: Do I have a Maine Coon mix or just an abnormally large DLH?

He has the long tail & big thick boning of a MC also still having a kitten face points towards there being some MC in there even if he isn't "full blown" ..... MC's don't fully mature until they are four years old either in size,weight or face maturity so will be very interesting to see if he carries on growing,they also love playing with water & tend to chirrup at you & most of them just luv human company...... whatever he is though he is a smashing fella & keep us updated.......xxx

Have just watched your video & reckon if you had said he was a brown mackerel MC I would have believed you.....xxx

Thanks for the response! I will certainly keep an eye on how he grows and will keep you all updated. We found him in the ditch all alone when he was just a handful of a kitten so we really have no idea of his origins. He definitely loves being around his people. He waits for us on the front mat to get home from school every day and will follow us around the house.

He's absolutely gorgeous, I definitely don't think he's a straightforward BSH. He's the same age as my MC Beau and I actually think he looks more like a Norwegian Forest Cat than a Maine Coon - have you looked them up at all? They're really similar looking breeds, but comparing him to Beau, his ears look a bit more 'squat' and he actually looks like he has an even heavier coat and more of a ruff around his neck. Google them too & see what you think! I've attached a recent picture of Beau so you can see what I mean.
