Hi my name is Luna. I’m 8 weeks old. I was found at a local pet store. The young lady who helped us said she’s a long haired tabby. But as she grows to me she looks like she has Maine coon in her or maybe even full... I’ve been asking around & looking up 8 week Maine coons & she looks similar. I decided to just make an account to see from other car owners if I should continue getting her a DNA test & has this happened before?

Hi, Luna! What a pretty girl you are!

You know, without a DNA test, there's just no way to be sure. Not even experts, such as judges with cat shows, would say with any certainty what breed a cat is without papers. The differences in the breeds are, for the most part, just too subtle. Get that test, if it really matters to you. For me, I'd just sit back and love her to pieces for the precious individual that she is! THAT SAID...she does have a bit of a Maine Coon-ish look to her, doesn't she?

ANYHOW, WELCOME TO TCS, to both you and that floof-ball, Luna!
