Long cat

[Mochiiiii7]

Is it normal for my cat to be this long ? I adopted him almost a year ago and he is really long kinda looks like a weasel . I think he might be a mix of Siamese and Maine coon?

I would say based on his length and coat (and fluffy tail) he most definitely has quite a bit of Maine Coon in him!

Longhaired siameses may be called for a balinese; which is the longhaired sibling breed.

But he doesnt looks as a typical siamese either. not in face nor in size.
So yeah, most probably a mix with some big boned breed, and with these siamese point genes making him pointed.

I would sooner suggest for the big boned hairy ancestor an Angora cat (turkish angora). These may be quite big, and are renown as sleek, gracious cats. And also, they are renown as white, but nowadays are also other colors allowed. I wouldnt be surprised if also pointed is OK.

Thinking on it, 1 so so pic is to little to make any educated guesses from, but a pointed turkish angora is no bad guess.

He is so beautiful and he does look like he has mc or other forest cat ancestry to me. So then it would be totally normal to have a longer and larger body. Domestic cats can also be quite large. My Merlin was a huge ginger tabby tuxedo was very large, but he had no known ancestry of Maine coon and he didn’t look Maine coon or forest cat at all, etc. although that is not always a deciding factor because a cat could have ancestry of a breed and just not showing any of the typical of that breed but could be larger, etc., or something like that. He certainly did have the typical Maine coon type personality in a lot of ways. His fur was much fluffier and thicker than the typical domestic short hair and he also had long fur tufts on his paws. But overall, Merlin‘s face looked more like a British shorthair type of cat, and cinnamon, also a dilute ginger looks sorta BS too, more than Merlin.

His pattern / color is gorgeous, it looks like a mackerel tabby type pattern.

I can’t tell from this photograph, but if he has blue eyes, he could be a pointed cat too. If he is appointed at he would be called I believe some type of dlh lynx point, maybe seal. But all of that lighter fur on top makes it harder to see- that can happen with long hair cats… it’s harder to see their pattern, etc., because of the length of the fur and the the way the color is distributed.

I looked at your other post with the photos of him when he was a kitten. He’s definitely a pointed color point so he would be a seal lynx point. I believe he looks very tawny too. That also suggests mixed ancestry because he looks quite Maine coon in a lot of ways to me. And MC are not pointed and neither are Norwegian forest cats.

While domestic cats can have a lot of the features of pb cats, they’re not considered to be purebred so they could have some ancestry down the line somewhere. Siberian cats accepted pointed cats and they are called Neva masquerade.

There is also a breed called Balinese, which is basically just a natural long hair siamese cat. They are not usually that large though as far as I know. And you have all the other breeds that are longhair like ragdolls who are quite large too. Angoras as mentioned also, I am not sure how large they are.

He is a beauty for sure... he is a dlh seal lynx point With siamese and possible MC ancestry imo.
