    Does he have Maine Coon in him?

    I have a 7 year old black/white cat. His name is Joey. He is very gentle, laid-back guy you could ever meet. My boy doesn't hissed, scratched, growl or bitten anyone. Very affectionate guy, he talks when he wants something. Has tuffs sticking out of his paws, he has a mane around his neck and has longer fur on his tummy. Loves being around people, very social. I was told before that Joey has some Maine Coon in him. They said, he has a big muzzle just like the breed. Maybe he is part Ragdoll because he flops down instead of laying right down. Please let me know! I would like a second opinion. I know he isn't a regular black and white cat.

    He MAY have some Maine Coon in him. But I suspect he's just a plain old (and VERY HANDSOME!!) black and white domestic long hair or DLH for short.

    He looks very MC to me - the tufted ears, the nose, the long fur. Is his fur soft and silky? MC fur is silky soft. I see he has the curly tummy fur that my Mishi does. Does he like to play in/with water? MC's are water cats. Does he talk a lot? (My Mishi is a talker).

    Whatever his mix, he's very cute!

    Well whatever he is, he is gorgeous. One cuddly little man.

    And is that a box of Maccas fries behind him in picture no.2? !!!

    He looks MC to me in the face, chubby cheeks. There are a lot of Maine Coon websites that show pictures. Either way he is so pretty. Here is a picture of my MC Boscoe.

    Torties and Tortoiseshells

    What is the difference between Tortie, Tortoiseshell, and Calico cats? I just got a new kitten, and I think she is either a Tortoiseshell or a calico. The shelter said she was calico. She is black, orange, and white. Her paws are white, but her limbs have an orange tabby stripe and a black stripe. She is adorable, and I am just wondering her breed. I will show pictures soon.
    THANKS!

    PS. I think Joey the cat is a black white DLH and Maine Coon Mix.
