Thread: Is my new kitten a maine coon?

I couldn't agree more, here are some photos of our Retired Champion Stud boy "Jools"

To me he is the perfect example of the original Maine Coon, and he has hardly any Lynx tips to speak of!

Oh and a few of his Great Grandparents and Great, Great grandparents were Charmalot and Coonloc cats from over there in the good ole US of A.
