I have just taken these cats in to my home but their previous owner wasn't sure of their breed. Can anyone help me with what breed they might be? Thank you, Samantha x

Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats developed in different parts of the world, both from native cats but not related specifically to each other.There's also the possibility of a Norwegian Forest Cat- I think they were ancestors to the Maine Coon. Here's a google search for one But they come in all colors, so don't pay attention to that. I think some trademarks are very social with people and other pets, natural athletes, sturdy type, tufted ears, heavily furred between the toes, amber/gold eyes. Sound anything like your baby? (I'm not a cat fancier, but someone I know who breeds bobtails told me one of mine resembled them too, so I just googled that kind haha) But this type isn't done growing for up to 5 years. My guy (if he IS similar to a true NFC) is holding form and is slight for a 1.5 year old cat, and seems to still be growing. Also their fur is downy, with not a lot of the top coat layer. Good luck!!
I meant Samantha's cat has a head that to me looks closer to Maine Coon than NFC.
whoops I must have been misinformed then My bad! And this is a google search of a norwegian forest cat. I just call mine DLH since he's not certified anything haha it's just fun to speculate
