Thread: Possibble Maine Coon Mix? Just adopted today.

His front on view he really gives me hopes that he is part MC...he really is quite a gorgeous cat! Either way we are proud to have him. Such a sweetie! My fiance named him Lenin, he has another Russian Blue named Stalin, so he thought it would be fitting to keep him in the Russian Dictator family lol.

Its great when you can get a theme running through your furries names,he looks like a Lenin....

Your cat is a gorgeous lad, but I feel sorry for him to bear such an ugly name.
I love kissing my cats, but I would never kiss anybody with name Lenin or Stalin.
The name can carry bad aura, and your kittie wants to have much happier life than he had before he met you. Of course, it's your cat and can name him all you want.
I still feel sorry for poor cat. If he only understood whose name he got he would be screaming.

Well, it was more so to do with the fact he is quite Powerful looking, his brother is Stalin and they are Russian blues, it is more about being clever and humorous...not about disgracing him with the name of a Dictator...but qualities he holds. I don't believe naming him Lenin will in any way effect the type of life he has with us....sorry you feel that way.

He's a lovely looking cat and love the Russian name theme; my MC is called Rasputin... :D

haha I love Rasputin!

Beautiful cat indeed... and love the thought of Russian blue crossed coon... mind would hope the coon was the mummy... and not the other way around lol

I kind of agree with Jackie a Norwegian Forest, but then the more I look the more I see the Characteristics of a Somali and Turkish and Siberian... but either way stunning cat!!

Just came across this . . . your cat could be a "twin" to our Blue Bear, also a rescue we got from PetSmart about 5 years ago. He's not an MC (his lil bro, Dakota is), but he is, by far, one of the smartest, most loving cats we've ever had. He never ceases to amaze us. I'd love to see updated pics (and tell me what you think of my "twin" theory)!

I definitely knew he wasn't Himalayan! Especially with his size. I need to get his frontal shot because he looks so much like a MC then... he is so large when he stretches in the kitchen his head reaches the counter tops!

On Russian names, what about Peter the Great?

Or if he is a character...I like Yeltsin. {grin}

Last picture of a cat that looks like Lenin



I did have a kitten that the rescue group talked me into naming him Chaplin instead of the madman pictured above. {hint}
