I don't know; I personally am not familiar with the different breeds but I just adore the picture of him holding the Teddy Bear.

He looks like a blue tabby (in the classic or "bullseye" pattern) Domestic Longhair. Nebelungs are longhaired Russian Blue, so they would be solid blue. Maine Coons have a more square shaped face while your guy has a more triangular face. His face shape and long hair does make him a decent Norwegian Forest Cat lookalike, although it's impossible to tell for sure if he actually has NFC influence absent a DNA test. He is very cute, regardless! He looks so sweet, cuddling his teddy bear.

He does have many of the nebelung traits, though. "The soft double coat feels fine and silky; it is a beautiful gray color and is tipped with silver." (Wikipedia on nebelungs) he's also got the pantaloons and tufts in ear and between toes.
But thanks for your reply. He's definitely got the look of the blue tabby, too. And he's definitely a cuddle-bear, loves his mom and he'll sleep next to me all night.

Most definitely a Maine Coon mix. Nebelungs have darker fur, and the color is more solid.
I see no Maine Coon in him either. His facial structure and ears too are not anything like those of a MC.
Lots of people use Maine Coon as a descriptor for any longhair cat but once educated on the attributes of purebred Maine Coons it's easy to see the difference.
I would also say he's a longhair domestic, blue classic tabby pattern. He's quite lovely!
