Is he a Maine Coon, and how large will he get?

This one has the same markings and look as my kitten.

This one has the same markings and look as my kitten.

I have a black and gray kitten that I believe is a Maine Coon, he has long cotton-like hair with a gray tuft around the underside of his neck and a large one on his stomach.

He also has a discernible "M" on his forehead, and he's nine weeks old reaching about ten or eleven inches in length with ridiculously large paws.

I've always wanted a Maine Coon and I'm hoping I finally found one. I'll attach a picture of an almost identical looking cat, though it's not him sadly, and I was hoping someone could confirm what I'm suspecting.

Much thanks!

Pretty cat---but the "M" has nothing to do with the breed. All tabbies have the "M"

starstarstarstarstar 		Maine Coon...maybe...
by: Toni Bondy

Hi there!

Your new kitten might be a maine coon, but without pics it's hard to judge.

My son has a black smoke that's a cross between a persian and a maine coon. He's a big fluffly bundle of wonderful.

His face is the only thing that gives away that he's not a pure bred maine coon. It has the wrong conformation, too round and a shorter nose.

Can you post a picture or two of your kitten?
