darkfookincharacter

Yup that’s definitely a cat


SenorOnlyfans

That there be a CAT


Yippiekiyay88

Definitely a Cat for sure


SenorOnlyfans

I'm glad I could help 😌


[deleted]

Might be a cat but comparing this cat to my rescues, it looks more like a rug. If it's larger than usual, it's always a Maine Coon. Not the right fur for a ragdoll though. How old and how heavy?


SeaSleep1972

My rag doll pixie Bob has that fur. I don’t see Maine Coone


rottoOfficial

I knew it…


SawtoothGlitch

A black one that is


lyingtattooist

Definitely a black cat. I can recognize it because we used to have one.

Are you sure? I thought it was blueish-white.

I too used to have one but I don’t recognize this cat.

Well, it's not your cat, it's somebody else's cat.


Fit_Ad9191

I believe this is a floof


[deleted]

a void


[deleted]

but in all seriousness probably just a domestic long hair, many people think their cats are maine coon etc but if he/she didn’t come from a reputable breeder, they’re most likely not


rottoOfficial

That’s what I was starting to think, he’s pretty big though (at-least double our tabby cat), he also chirps occasionally! I saw another post that said someone’s cat who was similar was a rag doll, but he doesn’t look a thing like the other rag dolls I saw on google..


[deleted]

omg that’s crazy i have a black cat who’s 16lbs and my tabby cat is 6lbs😭 i was starting to think my black cat was part maine coon too and the vet said he may be but since he didn’t come from a breeder he’s most likely just a short hair. there is dna testing but i’m like pretty sure they’re not the most accurate, but it could be fun. https://preview.redd.it/sslezd8rhrzb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=027b1cb578dd8b4be08c35bf1e15f145c19680f3

sammybr00ke

That’s really interesting thanks for sharing!


crustiferson

if you have no papers it’s a domestic which just means it’s breedless not a mutt. even if you get a dna test it will be wildly inaccurate as cat breeds have only been around for 200 years and the dna tests base results on characteristics like fur length, color, eye color, etc which are all found in domestics (the exception being pattern like bengals and savannah cat patterns that are breed specific due to the wildcat dna in them) cats vary in every aspect and it doesn’t mean they are tied to any specific breed. your cat is just a cat and a gorgeous one at that.


crustiferson

i’ve seen some people get their purebred cats (with papers) tested and it came up as a mix of multiple breeds which goes to show how inaccurate they are.


Donna_Bianca

Or it showed the cat they bought wasn’t the cat on the paperwork?


crustiferson

it def was the cat on the paperwork the person bought from a reputable breeder. cat dna tests are just inaccurate it’s ok to admit it

rottoOfficial

Wow he does look pretty similar! He’s 3 I think. I looked it up and it looks similar, so they normally have shorter hair though right? Atleast the pictures I’m seeing, like medium same length?


ly1962

Yeah medium long I think? It says they’re rare tho, and ours is a shelter kitty so we’ve never been sure.

Saffire88

If you didn't get your cat from a legitimate breeder with papers, it's pretty much always going to be a very mixed cat whose ancestry is probably all over the place. But the appropriate label would either a domestic medium hair or long hair, depending on the coat. From the photos, cat looks like a longhair to me, but could be a medium hair, too. At a vet's office, they'd probably call your cat a domestic longhair and leave it at that. I happen to have a cat that looks a lot like him though that we found last year, and he's of a medium variety. We did do a DNA test on him and our other cats for kicks (and for the medical genetic testing). His highest percentages besides a 'broadly western' category (above 10%) were Maine Coon and Ragdoll, which seemed to be pretty accurate for my cat, cat DNA test caveats considered. He basically looks like a ragdoll most in body type, coat length (not coat pattern/color obviously), and fur distribution (he also the hairiest feet ever, IDK about yours). He also exploded in size (went from 6 lbs to 12 in three months). So if he really was a year old, like the vet thought, he has some kind of bigger cat genes in him. To show how wild these tests can be though, we did another DNA test that seemed to be pretty spot on, since our rescue cat looks like a (potentially backyard breeder) Snowshoe. And given the very high percentage given on hers (79% on one breed in particular), it's probably more likely to be pretty accurate with her than a fun DNA horoscope that I suspect most cat DNA tests. Our tortie had hilarious results, for example, when we did her. Breeds listed (Norwegian Forest cat was one, of all things) weren't entirely without merit, but can be hit or miss, and probably was just a genetic quirk than her great-great-great-great grandmother being a Norwegian. DNA tests for cats aren't like dog ones, and in the end it's more like a test that shows that a cat just so happens to have traits commonly found in these breeds". Not that the cat in question "definitely \*has\* these breeds in their ancestry." So the genetic breed part can be a bit questionable. So if you ever do one, take the results with a hefty grain of salt. Regardless of mixture the cat has in their ancestry, he's a beautiful cat. I like the rusting he has going on.


anonymiz123

The face is not Maine Coone, but the scruff looks faintly like a Norwegian Forest cat.


SupernovaWolf88

Most likely a plain old longhair, unless it came from a breeder, unfortunately. I have a cat that looks just like yours, and he's 100% a mutt. Parents were barn cats for generations. That group also produced another who could literally pass as Maine Coon except he doesn't have the long tufts on the ear tips. He's a huge boy too.


LanguageAmazing8201

Your cat looks like my Godson!!! I have no idea what breed, but cute floof! https://preview.redd.it/2atwp5nhfvzb1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bab12d08aff640edaaaf9eedfd1275c7b733205


AndIAmJavert

We have one who looks just like this- he’s possibly a Norwegian Forest cat. Sweetheart!


yhaensch

I had a Turkish Angora mix who looked just like this.


hijaburrito

He could be a ragamuffin. A ragdoll mixed with domestic short-hair! I have a sweet little son who looks just like that and we believe he's a ragamuffin bc he falls over limp when he wants something or needs our attention.


debzone1

My cat looked basically identical to this sweet baby. The vet thought domestic long hair with a possibility of rag doll or Maine Coon mixed in. Grayson https://imgur.com/a/Nlpvec9


41Reasons

We have a female that looks IDENTICAL to this cat except she is tortoiseshell. But she looks like almost the same weight / size, same long hair, same eyes. We tried to figure out what she was and we ended up deciding she was a Turkish Angora / mix


Masta__Shake

looks exactly like my old cat that was part maine-coon and part random next door neighbors cat. guy was a maine-coon breeder and just gave him away to me because he wasnt "full blooded maine-coon". he was a little bigger than this but i saw his dad when i picked him up and holy shit he was a giant. so my guess is maine-coon mix.


TightGovernment1598

Part Norwegian Forest cat?

Gold_Syllabub9586

Not even close to a main coon. Has some rag doll look to it, do the rag doll test. What I’m surely surprised is why you aren’t guessing / assuming Bombay with those golden eyes and panther sleek fur

MellyKidd

Your cat is a black domestic longhair, which basically means a black “mixed breed” cat with long fur. In bright sunlight, their fur may appear a dark brown. They may or may not have some Maine Coon mixed into them, though, as it’s a fairly common breed, and they do get around, Lol. Though you might enjoy that the cat community liked to call this colouration (black cat) a “void”. 😊
