Here’s them now
They’re dad was pure bred maine coon rescued from a breeder. Their mom was a calico, mackerel tabby mix. They had tests done to make sure and those are definitely the parents breeds but we’re just confused of the tabby’s dad. We’re getting tests to confirm their breeds when we can.
Both are long haired cats. The tabby is a mix of medium length fur and long fur. Neither are short haired
There's actually no real breed test for cats. Even a good one like basepaws often has registered purebreds as a mix of different breeds. Cat breeds are so young that even purebreds will show up as having DSH/DLH in them. But unless that cat came from a registered breeder and they spent a ton of money (thousands of dollars) I highly doubt he is purebred. Mom would have been a DLH or DSH carrying the longhair gene. I never go based on the weight in cats as most times the cat is actually overweight lol. They should poof out more in a year or so. But I would say most likely aren't a mix. Do you have a picture of the dad?
Beautiful cats, especially black kitty, he has a gorgeous face
Sadly I don’t have a photo of the dad. The only reason I know for a fact his dad is his dad is cause he’s a carbon copy other than the face. Their dad was from kitten mill and fully purebred MC. They only know this because the rescue told them. He has every common MC trait, boxy/regal face, tuft fur, the mane, the lynx ears. Literally everything. They both have manes, the black one more. They’re only 1 and huge which is the only real indication that they could be mixed. No one believes their dad was a maine coon because they weren’t fluffy as kittens and malnourished because mama had worms and fleas and passed it to them but now they're absolute monsters and growing every single day. I don’t really care what they’re mixed with I just wanna know why they’re practically dog sized catsBeautiful cats, especially black kitty, he has a gorgeous face
like everyone said they would be dlh, with maybe some distant forest cat ancestry, I would say. Do you have a picture of a dad ? You would need to know pedigree etc and have proof if they really have any Mc and if the mom is outdoor there is no way to know if he is the dad or the only dad etc.
That said, a cat can have a pb parent and still not resemble a bred at all, or it can resemble it a lot. They don’t look specifically MC to me but the blk kitties face looks like maybe another longhair breed to me so possible look alike of something. Many cat breeds like the three Forest cat breeds were started from cats living naturally in the area so it’s not unusual for domestic cats to have some of the features too.
The possible dad is a carbon copy of the black boy. Idc what they’re mixed with I just am confused why they’re monsters. I have other cats and they’re bigger than both of them by a huge amount and they’re almost as tall as my 7 year old brother when on they’re hind legs. I’m genuinely just confused
Sadly I don’t have a photo of the dad. The only picture I have is him laying down facing away from the camera. He was a rescue from a kitten mill as a baby that only bred MC’s. They adopted him from a shelter as a kitten and only found out where he came from when they realized how big he was getting. I will say when I took them both to the vet they classified them as maine coon mixed based on size and look alone and told me their weights are perfect. They’re incredibly muscular but not fat. I’m very conscious about how much they eat since I had an obese cat before and lost her way too early (she was my moms cat). I don’t really mind them still being classified as domestics in this trade. I just am so confused why they’re both so big especially the tabby.
