depends on his parents. maine coons can be absolutely giant. my maine coon is a female. she was not a giant of the breed. only about 14 pounds (healthy weight) however she her daddy or uncle (can never remember which he was) was a 30 something pound cat. he was kinda heavy. I'm thinking he'd have been about 19- 22 pounds healthy weight. so all I can say is what was his daddy like?

- You have a good eye; that was taken from across the room, with a 200mm lens. The "pancake effect" make him look like he's not an ounce over thirty pounds!Bob looks hilarious mid-way through shed - Half-And-HalfCat; I imagine that Dante (I'm glad that his name stuck with him finally) looks about the same.

Neither the dad or Mom was present. I adopted him from a somewhat bad situation(a vet in the basement of a small house, litter of kittens in a cage mounted to the wall in the waiting area 
with no hideout in the cage) super weird vibes from that place although I’ve been told that this sort of thing is sadly commonplace. So I took the whole Maine coon in his bloodline thing with a grain of salt lol but he definitely fits the description in many ways physically and his temperament matches up.(not purebred of course)

lol his name is still kinda fluid but that's the one that is official. lol. belushi boy is used equally. because he looks a lot like john belushi in blues brothers. one vet said 1 yearish. the next vet says 4 or 5. but we're still leaning towards kitten side of things. he seems to have had a serious growth spurt when we got him. and he still thinks attacking toes under the blanket at four am is a pretty fun game. it seems like they outgrow that one by 4 or 5. lol. but who knows. the other fun game he likes to play is to get in to the chair as in the video I linked to and then attack me so I can't sit. he also climbs the chair from the back side to wack at my hair. lol. it's always so shocking. that video was from last night. he still is all muscle. no fat on him.

well I'm glad he found a good home. definitely maine coon. I wouldn't even balk at probably pure bred. and judging from that size at 8 months I do think he's going to be a big boy. how much does he weigh now?
Mango the Maine Coon
this is what my maine coon looked like at about 6 or 7 months old
and this is her with a siberian baby when was about 2 or 3.
I think you'll see some definite similarities in the first video to your baby

- It's always the big ones who want to sit right on top of you. Bob's closing in on 36 pounds, and feels compelled to lie across your chest at every opportunity. At 113 cm nose-to-tail, he takes up your chest, your neck, your lap, and part of your next door neighbour's lap as well.Your black beauty is stunning; I hope we'll see more of him here and in the other photo forum threads as well.

will be smitten with this kitten!.
I will post more. He still wants to be held like a people baby. He stands on hind legs and puts his front paws up to reach for my neck. If I am within range ( or maybe not) he leaps on me like a toddler would and puts his paws around my neck to hold on. Funny guy likes to be burped on my shoulder too. Burping obviously a result of stealing doughnuts. Kind of hard to rock this baby in my arms but it is required! When I found him he was a tiny baby. I had no idea what was coming! A lot ofaine Coon mixes show up here.
Big cat ( not thrilled) with little cat on his head. Bonjie caught red pawed and white nosed javinv partaken of a doughnut.
my siberian did that when he was little (he'd also suckle on my hair when doing it) he still will grab me like that on rare occasion even as a full grown adult kitty. he stopped doing it all the time when he was about 2. we used to call it emergency cuddles. because he'd break off from whatever high speed thing he was doing and dash into my arms and start with the cuddles lol
