I Think My Kitten Is A Bobcat.

At 6 months old, his feet no longer look really huge

Will do a post with pics of them all tomorrow(ish) once I dust the cobwebs out of the forum formatting closet in my brain, but we had this question buzzing about after we took in a pregnant manx momma who is some sort of demon incarnate according to the previous owner who was "going to have to put her down" if someone didn't take her by the end of the weekend... still doesn't make sense because from the time we picked her up she's been a sweetheart, even if you aren't given a choice about whether, or when she is going to lay on you. Three healthy kittens, 1 that is a dead ringer for a Norwegian forest cat, 1 pelted chonk with a 3/4 tail with what I can only describe as the lynx hook, and mr dinner plates for paws himself who has that same lynx hook tail, but fur and coloring leans toward spotted broken tabby... Now that I'm seeing far better pictures of bobcats at various developmental stages than Google would give me in an img search I'm leaning towards the Norwegian/Maine Coon x Manx giving a very cool wildcat appearance easily confused as hybrids by the ill-informed.

First 2 are lil miss chonk, second has a photo bomb from a similarly pelt coated manx we had dumped on us a couple years ago.
Third pic is Shush, it's like his paws grow, then his body grows to match, but he has bigger paws than any of our other cats and while he tends to hold his tail a little straighter, there are 2 points, one about 2 finger widths from the tailhead and the same from the tip there are physical bends to the tail.
Fourth is Wumpus Queen of All, she's rotten and she knows it.
And then there is the she devil herself, Luna, if you sits, Luna fits, Luna doesn't care if you are busy, Luna sits. But she lacks even the typical tail tuft/flap we see in most of the tailless cats in our area.

Tailless cats doesn't = Manx. Domestics are born without tails all the time. Bobbed or tailless are common mutations, that's why it pops up in many feral populations due to inbreeding and is the standard of several different breeds. Unless you know the breeder and have seen papers the chances of purebred ancestry in these cats is about as likely as you winning the lottery. I don't see anything in the pics that leads me to think they aren't domestics.

I think you have a spotted Bobtail kitten.
