Possible Maine Coon?
Hey there! I just got a new kitten yesterday and I'm wondering what breed it is. I suspect it's a mix, but I'm wondering if Maine Coon is part of that mix?
Here are some pictures:
Edit: Forgot to mention, he's a very young kitten now. Not sure how old, though.
Thanks very much!

Not sure with the color being a little off. He sure is cute, whatever the mix!

maine coons get pretty big; if your kitten gets big at a young age, then there's a good chance there's some maine coon in him. but it's hard to tell when they're very young.

I would say a DSH brown tabby. His head is not of a Maine Coon. He sure is a cutie!

Maine Coon
I'd say probably not, no long tufts in the ears, no snowshoes on the feet...those are the 2 easiest signs of MC....whatever he's made of...he's a dollbaby. Makes me want another kitten....if only they'd stay small......

Hey! Thanks for all of the great responses! He's a great little kitten..I wish I knew what breed he is, haha. He's got medium puffy fur that sticks off his ears. Maybe I should post again in a few weeks to see what you guys think? I suspect he's 6-8 weeks old, but he has rather large paws.
If not a Maine Coon, what type of cat may he be? Do you think he'll have longish hair?

He's older than 8 weeks...closer to 12....Just google Maine Coon kittens....here is one younger kittens pic: http://www.terzovia.co.uk/uploads/new%20pic.jpg
Yours will have a medium length coat...and as mentioned he would probably be labeled a brown tabby. His coloring is about the only match to a Maine Coon. What have you named the little guy? |

His name is Baird, because he's a chatter, haha. I thought he had a classic tabby pattern? And he's silver. Here are some more pictures ( cellphone for scale), I could swear he's younger than 12 weeks.   |

He could be...it is hard to tell from the pics...A vet will be able to give you a better idea of how old when he takes a look at his teeth. His color will also most likely darken as he grows older and those stripes will come in darker as well.
