Just based on those genes and the length of fur already. I would expect a BIG fluffy long haired cst. Be sure to feed your adorable baby kitten food until he is 2.5 years old! Maine Coons keep growing up to 2.5 years. You are so lucky; he will be adorable! 😻

Cami at around 6-7 weeks old &
1.5 years old. You can tell how fluffy she got. I think her length fully grew in by 3-4 months.

Oh I stand corrected Maine Coons keep growing until 3-5 years and it says vets say to feed them kitten food for 9 months.

That said I fed my siamese mix mostly regular wet food & some kitten dry food until he turned 2 & he turned out fine (regular size, not fat.) (He got kitten wet food until he was 3 months old and discovered some other cat’s fancy feast! 🤣)

GoldyCat you are right! Cami’s tail was like twice the thickness of her short haired brothers but I don’t think it reached full poof until she was around 4 months old!
oh interesting! mine still has the tiny tail

I would still beg on fluffy. I googled images of 7 week old Maine coon kittens and they had a pretty BBC skinny tail. So my best bet would still bet on fluffy.

The tail tells. Seems a bit too early for the tail to say for sure, but other clues like ear furnishings and toe tufts seem to say long hair.

She is a longhair but I wouldn't fully agree on any breeds to be honest. Everyone always believes their cat is such and such mix when they aren't. Colorpoints are common in DSH/DLH nowadays.

Around 7-8 weeks old. Was told mom is siamese mix & dad is maine coon mix! View attachment 398547
Aww gorgeous little fluff ball, def longhair, even thought the tail is short. Hope for a big floofy kit 😻 As for breed you can only go by what your were told etc. she looks s bit rag dollish as well with the floof and pattern. But she would be a dlh bicolor seal with mitts I think.

She looks like a lighter version of my baby Ember!
Her as a kitten then her 1.5 years, to now almost 3 years. She's also grown a lot since being 1.5 years old when I got her

She'll be a long hair cat. I'm betting dad was a Ragdoll mix or Himalayan mix based on her looks and size. She's beautiful.
