Is he a Maine Coon?

[whatismycat]

I already made one thread for my first cat so I'm making one more for my other cat. He's very large & furry. I've been told he's a Maine Coon but I don't know too much about Maine Coons so I'm not sure. Any help?

He's a very beautiful boy

He could well have some Maine coon in him. I don't think he's 100% Maine coon as he is lacking ear tips and his muzzle is not quite square enough. But very much a good look a like

His colour is a blue tabby

Here's a picture of my blue tabby maine coon boy Theo

Here is the TICA history of the Maine Coon cat.  Again, here is the TICA history of the breed, and you can search for look-alike pictures.  Many of our popular breeds were developed by purposely breeding cats towards a certain standard.  The Maine Coons have now been bred into Extra Large size, and again there is a standard developed by breeders.

He's beautiful but most likely not a MC unless you have a pedigree. He's most likely a DLH.

Beautiful cat! Without papers it wouldn't be definite what breed he is, but I would say he sure looks like one!

He's handsome, but lacking physical characteristics. Can he come live with me?
