I think my cat is a Maine Coon mix?

Hi I recently adopted a cat called Baggins he is 3 years old- he is a large cat, definitely bigger than average.

The key things that made me think he may be a mix is the long fluffy tail, he has rather big ears and a long coat.

Personality wise he adapted very quickly to his new environment, he is very sociable and vocal. If you could let me know what you think that would be great.

Thanks for your help. Regards, Jessica

Baggins!

Hi Jessica,

I love that picture of Baggins! He really looks like he's smiling at you.

I think he very well could be a Maine Coon mix. His coat is shaggy, not all one length. He's got a nice neck ruff, and the personality you described fits.

Congratulations on your new boy. He seems like a real charmer. You're lucky to have found each other!

I clicked on his pic because he reminded me of my Abraham. Definitely some Maine Coon there!
Lovely boy!

Yes, he definitely has some Maine Coon mixed in there! Beautiful kitty. I have a Maine Coon mix kitten and I envision him looking exactly like this when he reaches adulthood.
