I see no one has commented on your question. We don't have a lot of experience with MC cats, but from what I have found out, the "M" marking on your cat's forehead seems to be a good sign that your kitten is a Maine Coon. Don't know if she is 100% MC or not though.

Here is a picture of our 'Smokey' for you to compare markings. We don't know the history of Smokey either, but he is the sweetest, most loving cat we have ever had! My wife rescued Smokey when he was a tiny kitten running around a busy parking lot in Fresno, CA, where she worked at the time. He now weighs in at 16 lbs. This picture is from January of 2008.

Hope you are enjoying your MC as much as we are! This is a duplicate post that I tried to delete.
