No, no, this is the American cattery. I may have mixed up my girl A and girl B. This is my little American baby. I see something in her, in her wide muzzle, in her chin being strong for a female of her age, in her eye and ear set, her coat, her look. I think her pictures are desaturated, because none of the colors look right. It's a mistake some people make when trying to correct for room lighting yellow balance, especially if they use an auto-color on an app or program.The English language bottle of foaming hand soap on the counter bothered me in a Russian household - it's exclusive to Bath and Body Works. A little checking, however:
"Ленинградское шоссе" ванны магазин - Google Search
shows that they have one store in Moscow:
Bath & Body Works, фирменный магазин косметики, Ленинградское шоссе 23 км, 1, Химки — 2ГИС
so if the photos were taken in a Russian household, it's a pretty affluent household.

Newer pics of her coming.
I have been wanting to take my husband to Denmark, a country I spent 3 months in, and adored, anyway. Maybe we'll do a little European tour. He runs a band so maybe we can bring the guys and use my connections in the scene to get a few small gigs while we're there. Could be fun!Also, if you have your heart set on buying a European Maine Coon, in that case I would suggest taking a trip to Europe and meeting breeders there. The FIFe show calendar is here: Fédération Internationale Féline :: Show Calendar
Here is an idea: There is a Maine Coon specialty show in Poland, June 30-July 1st. Here is the web site of the show, it is in Polish but you can run it through Google Translate: Międzynarodowa Wystawa Kotów Rasowych - International Cat Shows - Sopot 2018 - Cat Club Amber, Sopocki klub felinologiczny
With a specialty show they are likely to have a large number of Maine Coons and you can meet the breeders and handle the cats. I went to a European show a few years ago that happened to have a Norwegian Forest Cat specialty and they had a huge number of them at the show, it was amazing.
I've made international trips to visit shows and import cats from overseas, and it's totally worth the trip, as well as being a wonderful experience. But I wouldn't import a cat sight unseen from pictures alone.
