We’ve been told they both look like they look to be part Maine Coon. Would love to see what y’all think.

Is Chubbs a Maine Coon Mix?

by Tj


Our male kitten, Biggerton Chubberton, or "Chubbs" for short, is a tuxedo kitten we ended up getting from our cat Harlow, who is a younger than a year old who gave birth to him and four others.

Chubbs is different from his siblings. He is bigger boned and larger in size, different fluffier fur texture, fluffier tail, and those signature ear tuffs.

He has greyish blue eyes and has polydactyly (extra toes). We do not know who the father is, Harlow came to us as a stray and we took her in our home where she gave birth a couple months after we took her in, so we have no idea who the father might be. This is a picture of him.

Ruby

by Leigh-Anne
(Florida, USA )

I think I am calmed

I think I am calmed

Ruby is 6 years old and looked like Maine Coon, but her temperament seems different than the others from what I have read.

Also, she has a sister who looks like Russian Blue. I don’t know what their birth mother looks like.

Ruby weighs about 11 lbs. Her personality is hyper, she is scared of being around new people and children until she gets to know them better, she doesn’t sleep near me, and she doesn’t seem calm when people try to pet her.

He loves stranger's attention so much

by Millot
(Canada)

Smooth

Smooth

This is Lupin. He's almost 2 years old and we adopted him as a kitten from a shelter.

He has one of the softest furs I've ever seen. He's a big boy (probably currently around 15 lb, but I have no scale to check) and people comment on his size when seeing him.

When he saw the vet at 3 months old, he told me that Lupin would grow to become a large cat. He has tufted ears, but no mane, but that doesn't keep him from shedding a second cat out of his fur this summer.

He also has a distinctive way of moving his tail in a long slow swirl.

As for his personality, he's not particularly cuddly, but really sweet and social, always seeking our presence.

He likes to follow us around and will usually hang out in the same room as us.

As soon as he hears someone at the door, he runs towards it and will welcome whoever it is, whether or not he knows them, by rubbing against their legs until he gets the attention he wants.

He enjoys going outside to walk with us with his harness, and likes to be petted by whoever approaches him.

He is also quick to learn multiple tricks, such as "high five", "sit", "spin", but he tends to be lazier about it than my kitten.

He's incredibly curious and will investigate anything new and try to get his nose into anything I'm doing.

I expect he's just a big domestic cat, but I've always wondered if he might have a bit of Maine Coon in him.

Is he? I have no idea...
by: Poster

Thanks! Him and an orange tabby that we just adopted are my first cats. So I wasn't sure, but saw his feet and ear hair.

It looks like he is getting long hair over his whole body and tail right now. I think they guessed on his age, but he is super skinny.

We are working on getting him back up to a healthy weight and hopefully see him start growing at a good rate.

Is he?
by: Anonymous

He does have some big paws, but 10 week old Maine coons, I feel like are bigger. Does he have a fluffy tail?

And his ears don’t seem like they will get fur on the tips, lots of cats have tuffs in there ears, like long hairs, and Forest cats. You will see if he is one when he grows to adult size.

And maybe a vet or breeder can help you out! He is a very cute kitty, and maybe a Maine coon mix!

Maine Coon Mix

by Chelsea
(USA)

This guy is just 11 weeks old and I got him from a shelter- I’m wondering if he is a Maine Coon mix- he seems to match a lot of the personality traits and a handful of the physics traits too. The vet tech asked me if he was part Maine Coon- so who knows!

Maine coon mix? Maybe!
by: Anonymous

Hello! I feel your little love bug is a maine coon mix! I feel she has the beautiful long haired coat, I couldn’t tell but she also might have the lynx ears!

You will be able to know if she is a Maine coon mix, when she grows. If they get bigger then usually cats would, it has to be a Maine coon, especially if it has lynx ears, fluffy tail, long haired coat, big/long body, and maybe hairs at the end of their paws. Hope this helped!

what a cutie!!
by: Janet

The kitten sure does resemble a Maine Coon. Especially in the picture where he’s asleep!

Those huge tufts of fur in the ears and huge paws with a lot of fur on them, the fur is long also. I didn’t notice if his tail is Fluffy but he’s young yet. I’m sure he must be at least part Maine Coon.

What a cutie! You have a wonderful looking kitty there! Enjoy him.I almost forgot, the position that he is sleeping in on the brown blanket is exactly how my big boy Maine Coon sleeps. They sleep in unusual places and in the funniest positions too.

Might Have Maine Coon Mix Twins

by Daiton
(Georgia)

We adopted these fraternal twins in May. When we got them they were really under weight and the rescuers thought they were domestic and Maine Coon mixes.

The younger one like looks like he has more Maine Coon characteristics but I’m not sure. I need help!

Also, they are really loving and hate to be separated from us and each other.

Is Ms Cinnamon Part Maine Coon?


by: Tiffany S in Hollins, VA, USA


young brown tabby cat

This is Carolina Cinnamon - we adopted her last month as a rescue from a high kill shelter, she had been bred (far too young) and got sick, she was about to be euthanized when we found her.

She is about 11 months old. She adjusted to our home in minutes, shows no fear of anything (including our 4 other cats, the vacuum, loud music, or new people) and she has more energy and attitude than any cat I've ever seen.

Do You Think This Is a Maine Coon?

Hello everyone.

I have a bit of a problem. This lady is selling a beautiful 'Maine Coon' kitten, and said that she is full Maine Coon, but I have doubts??? I have uploaded a picture. You thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

My understanding....
by: Laurie

Maine coon traits are: ear tufts at top of ears, like a lynx , still a bit young I think.

and also from inside thevears sweeping outwards, which I do see. Long hairs in between their toes, which I can't see because of the picture, long legs, and a very long bushy tail, that I also can't see. Slanted large eyes.

I am not a pro nor a breeder. It is just my opinion that I think your kitten is too young to tell yet. Mine (Aslan) was very tiny when 4 mths. I had my doubts, but then he grew beautifully into his maine coon appearance. He is now 1 year old, 42 inches long and 15.5 lbs. I have no doubt now.

If I can give any advice. Get your kitten used to grooming now and make it habit forming. Good luck. Absolutely adorable!

Maine Coon or not
by: Camille ReHelpMeowt

I believe from the photo that she is part Maine Coon. I do not see the Ear Tuffs and her coat by her chest is full and fluffy. Many Maine Coons don't have that so early on.

I think she is a mix, however if you want to be sure you can ask her for the papers or pedigree. You can also take her, love her and do a DNA test on her. But, if you want to show her or breed her in a Maine Coon show, you will need to be sure.

Don't be shy, ask as many questions as you need along with, asking if she did HCM testing. That has a rate of 30% in Maine Coons that are not tested. Do your homework and ask. Good luck.

Jul 19, 2023
Possibly Part
by: Anonymous

She could be possibly part, where she could also just be domestic long hair. If she's tiny, bond angora parts per Siberian many things.

If the lady is not trying to rip you off on the price and you would pay that for a regular cat not a purebred, get her and love her! If she were pure bred she would have papers.

Stray Kittens


(Chicago)


Part of a litter of four strays that has been hanging around since they were kittens.

Can't be more than 12 months old now. 3 of the 4 are long haired and starting to show manes around their necks. The 4th is a relatively short haired red tabby.

I'm surprised that these long haired cats aren't more scraggly living outdoors like they do.

Happily, they survived our cold Chicago winter! They even seem well fed. They obviously get a lot of attention from the neighborhood.

It's OK If they're not a Maine Coon
by: Anonymous

I agree I think he's a nice big cat.

There are a lot of big cats that have long hair that are not Maine Coons. I have a big red cat that showed up at my back patio and wouldn't leave.

After a few weeks we took him to a Vet, and he had a chip but not registered. So, we kept him & brought him in.

He was cat post trained & boxed trained like the breeder do before the let them go to their new home and has all the other attributes of a Maine Coon & he's like our Main Coon we got from a Breeder, so we are pretty sure he is a Maine Coon, but we don't know for sure.

With out a DNA test but that's OK because he's a great cat 20 plus pounds and he's the reason we bought a Female Maine Coon.

This is Henry. He is a rescue. I was told he is part Maine Coon.

Whether he is or not, he's proving to be a wonderful companion for this almost empty nester!

8oz. Feral Runt to 11 lb. Beauty

by Renee Hoy
(Cleveland)

Day 1 after rescue

Day 1 after rescue

My husband discovered JuVi in the sub basement of an old juvenile jail in Cleveland.

8oz feral filthy helpless baby. And the rest is history. JuVi is the welcoming committee, he loves company, he loves our dogs, he’s also the alpha bathing the other kittens we have rescued.

He’s loves tunnels and toys and long naps. Loves food and snacks.

Never had any cat with eyes this color, they are super pale, silvery grey blue. His hair is short on the shoulders but his body hair is about 3”.

Tail color would challenge any high lighting job done in a salon. Hair on his tail is 4.5” long. We love him !!

what a pretty cat!
by: Janet

He is a such a pretty cat! I have a Maine Coon but I was just reading about Ragdolls. He looks more like a Rag doll maybe and because of the blueish eye color. Sort of reminds me of a Siamese we once had but with long fur. He might be a mix but you have yourself a beautiful cat either way! Sometimes I think God just brings them to us to Love!

I got my furrever buddy from a Humane Society at 6 mos. He's 6 now.

He can be aggressive at times but I just give him a much love as he'll accept.

Wondering if he is a Maine Coon as I had one before him and see similarities. He loves attention, playtime, kisses in bed and follows me room- to- room.

No cuddles or holding allowed but I love him anyway!

by: Patsy’s Mom

From what I can see I’d say this beautiful kitty is a Maine Coon. I go by furry feet and ears as well as lots of fur generally. Can’t tell if he has a big furry bib or not. My Maine Coon doesn’t like to be held either instead she leans against me like I’m the arm of a sofa. She follows me and wants lots of affection like your.

Adorable Main Coon Mix rescue.

by Paula Harrigan
(Snohomish Wa USA)

Oliver was rescued from Paws Animal Shelter. He was caked with cement and he had to have a toe amputated and his fur shaved.

He was a scrawny 2 year old that had been living as a stray. I adopted him and never dreamed he would turn into such a handsome guy.

No one at the shelter identified him as a Maine Coon or part Maine Coon. He now weighs 19 pounds and has a beautiful coat. He is lovable and playful!

I have attached a picture from the day I brought him home as well as recent pictures.

Maine Coon Mix Maybe?

by Dean Anderson
(Viola Illinois USA)

Photo from his adoption day

Photo from his adoption day

I just adopted my 12-week-old little boy Elmer from a no-kill shelter. Somebody surrendered him at 5 weeks old.

I found him accidentally the day he became available to adopt, and all the shelter workers were all talking about his personality.

He is very laid-back loves his tummy rubbed and is bigger than other kittens at the shelter that are the same age.

He has big furry Paws and fury tuffs in his ears similar to a Maine Coon. The ladies at the shelter believe he has some Maine Coon in him because he is so docile, loves to be around people and just seems like a very happy kitten.

My last kitten was a tortoise shell female cat. She was the exact opposite of all of these traits, so I was online researching and found this website.

I thought I would see what you guys think. Either way, if he is or isn't, he still going to have a wonderful life in his new home with me.

Milo

Milo Jasper Bialowas


Alexis Smith
Tallahassee, FL


So his mom was a stray living outside our house and we took her in and she had 5 kittens.

We gave them all away to good homes but I kept Milo aka Chonk as we called him bc he was the biggest and ate the most.

He is the only one that looks like this though. They all has different looks and colorings. He is a year and a half old. His bday is June 14th.

Everyone thinks he is a Maine Coon but I’m just not 100% convinced yet. I think he could potentially be a Coon-Somali mix. What do y’all think?
