Thread: is my 5month old maine coon or part maine coon?

I'd say you got lucky and have yourself a Maine Coon. He's young yet and he may be anywhere from half to fullbred. Only thing I see unCoonie is his muzzle structure as a Coonie's muzzle tends to be very square with little taper. I cannot tell if his hair is short on his shoulders. On a Coon the hair is short on the shoulders down to the leg and gets longer going back toward the tail. Also his body conformation if he is full Coonie, he will look very rectangular from the side when standing. Its a striking difference between Coonies and a normal DLH. He certainly has the tail!!! My Khan was like that-friendly to everyone even other cats!!
