    Lightbulb "Am I Maine Coon or not ?!?"

    Hi guys. We recently adopted a male kitten and we are wondering if he can be a Maine Coon or may be one of his ancestors. We noticed that it has long hairs from his ears and between his toes. What do you think

    Here are some photos... (It is almost 4 months old)

    Hey there, and welcome.

    He's ever so cute - love the first photo lounging about on a lap, and the close up of his little paws is adorable. Can see some MC-type traits in there - like the ear and toe tofts, and maybe the shape of his little face. There's something about the length of his coat that makes me wonder if he's a mix rather than pure breed. Can't put my finger on it though, which is unhelpful! There are a couple of other breeds you might want to swot up on too, as they're similar to MC's - Siberians and Norweigan Forest cats - both can have some strong similarities to MC's.

    Whatever he is, he looks very playful, very loving and VERY content; he also looks very pleased with himself to have found you! What's he called? And what's his background story if you adopted him?

    A cute little fellow, if he speaks with very tiny noises it could be a Coon but he is a treasure to take care for

    I think he looks enchanting! Lovely color, and the expression of a naughty little elf.
    Judging by the shape of the face, ears and eyes I'd sooner think Norwegian Forest Cat than MC. You can find out more about the differences here.

    Like Karen, I'd love to read more about him.
