Thread: Can somebody tell me if my kitten is a Maine Coon?

Of course 'sweet looking' is a matter of opinion, but I'm not quite sure what is meant. Perhaps less wild looking? I'm curious about this because I think it interesting that there might be a difference between American MCs and European MCs. There are some differences in American versus European & UK appearance between certain dog breeds that have gone so far as to be classified as separate breeds. I wonder if something like that might happen with MCs.
