So we have had Violet 4 months now, she was a stray. Hopefully the pics give a good idea (colour/pattern wise). Physically she is smaller for an adult (3kg at adoption, not underweight), small head, shorter legs (not munchkin). She's pretty much tabby with tortie back/tail and feet/beans thrown in! Please just ask me lots of questions so it is easier for me to answer than trying to write an essay long description lol. More cat savvy people may have opinions about her. I know she's 99% regular mixed domestic cat but she's definitely a little bit special :D (Wasn't sure how many pics I could attach, resized them hopefully big enough to see the details but not flood you).

She is beautiful! And looks a lot like a Maine Coon! We’ll have to see how big she gets, as Maine Coons are a giant breed. 4 months is still very young! Cats aren’t considered to be adults until a year of age, and then the giant breeds especially can keep growing for up to four years.

If she is 3kg NOW at 4 months, its much. Its over almost 7 pounds. Quite a few adult females and even some adult males are never bigger than this.

If so no misprint, she is biggish, and together with her MCO looks...

Probably a marbled tabby, and the red has some copper / golden shine on them. some bengal heritage? Almost a pity, this would rule out the possibility to be more or less purebred MCO...

Whomever she is she is a really beautie.

If she likes people and be shown to people, you and her may make a grand carrieer on Shows, in the Household Pet class.

EDIT: Errata, Willowys remark is correct, I misread. So this is a smallish, but fully normal female.
She wont be no biggrown MCO, still may have MCO ancestry. OR be one of these naturals, from which the MCO was once purebred from.

May other remarks stands still. A true beautie.

From how I read it, they have had her for 4 months but she's an adult. Meaning that she is a bit small but not unusually so for a female. And probably not MC but perhaps distantly related to the MC forebears.

She's adorable! I'd say she's a little floof :D.

Oh yes sorry, we have had her for 4 months, but she is already over 2 years old. Our cali Jasmine was also small for her age. Maybe it's the tortie part of her that makes her a bit smaller (i've noticed this in quite a few of these girls). We've always had short haired cats and only ever had one other tabby. So seeing the combination of random foot colours, huge tail, different fur lengths on her body, the floof coming out of the toes and so much more is all new and interesting to us :D I do call her a mini maine coon despite her size and head shape. Oh yes on the bengal comment, she still throws herself in the air like one! Lmao.
