Thread: Can anyone tell me if my two new cats are maine coon?

Hi Kaz, Bobby and Chelsea, welcome to the forum. Very striking cats, and I have to agree with Howlinbob - I love Bobby's little beauty spot. It gives him a very regal look.

I'm not sure I can see a lot of MC physical characteristics from the photo's so would be inclined to agree with the others, but whether they've got MC in their heritage or not, they are stunning cats and will no doubt bring you a lot of joy. And biceps judging by the size of Bobby!

Thanks guys

I'm just wondering what breed Bobby and Chelsea could be?? :D

Rachel-C what looks like real babies on top of my wall unit is actually Reborn Dolls. Reborn Dolls are made to look like real babies (There was some documentary on it on tv some time ago), I was fasinated by them and brought some, of course I have never taken them out anywhere like some people did in the documentary lol :D

A great sense of humour candes

I would have thought though even without papers and being domestic long/short haired there would still be a breed that could be match to their size and temperament, etc although I could be wrong??

They are likely to be a mix, therefore it is very difficult to determine their ancestors.
These links can help with some ideas. Even if there is an DNA test available for cats, it will be cheeper to buy a Maincoon than have it done.
Take a look at other similar breeds:
