    Breed identification help - Maine Coon?

    Hi everyone,

    My name is Jonas.
    I'm contemplating getting a Maine Coon kitten to raise on my own, however I need someone's advice who is well-versed in the breed. I found this particular kitten for-sale from a breeder for the price of $650 (I shall withhold the name of said breeder). I am concerned, however, with his appearance. While I'm sure he is a lovely cat and would make a wonderful companion pet, I want to be certain that the cat I pay for adheres as close as possible to the "traditional" Maine Coon phenotype. I'm attaching the pictures that were sent to me by this breeder. I would be most appreciative if someone with experience with the breed could lend me their input as to if this appears to be a "genuine" Maine Coon kitten. It is difficult for me to pass judgment on this issue as I feel I don't know enough about the breed to do so.

    Thanks!

    He is a little sweetheart. His ears are large and upright, and though there is little evidence of lynx tips or a huge bushy tail currently, they don't always appear on young kittens until they grow. He seems to have large paws and some tufting of fur between his toes, and he likes computers and being silly.

    If you are uncertain, why not ask for sight of a pedigree certificate for the little chap? You can then do some research into the lines.

    he is gorgeous - and as said by Musicalife - for this price - the breeder should have all the paperwork for you ready
