:) I have no clue what kind of cat I have. :confused: I was looking through old cats and saw Frisky. Do you think he is a main coon? My cat looks similar to him. Almost exact. Thanks.:)

Hey - this Frisky? http://catoftheday.com/archive/2001/May/16.html

Maine Coon Cats are generally large boned cats - how big is yours? Does he have that sort of "mane" of longer fur, too?

Frisky looks a lot like my brother's wife's cat - whom we suspect of being part Maine Coon, as he has many of the characteristics, but we know he's mostly good old barn cat! :)

Then he's probably a long-haired mutt cat - a.k.a. a domestic longhair!

I have 4 Maine Coon Cats and I have 2 Domestic Longhairs that look a Maine Coon. Remember that Maine Coons are a naturally occuring breed. They most likely evolved from the mating between longhaired cats brought from Europe and the local barncat population. Check out the CFA site about the Maine Coon Breed: http://www.cfainc.org/breeds/profiles/articles/maine.html

We just had a gorgeous litter back in December... I kept a red classic tabby, the other 3 are all in their furever homes now!
