What breed is my kitten?

Hi all, I bought a kitten 2 weeks ago from an elderly lady who had no idea on the genders or the breed. I thought my kitten could be Bengal as she has spots but ultimately assumed she was just a spotted tabby. Went to the vets today for a check up and asked the lady what she thinks the breed is she said possibly a Bengal cross with Maine Coon. I can really see both these breeds features now the vets mentioned it and think she may be right but just want others opinions. My kitten has spots etc like a Bengal cat and has pointy ears and face markings like a Maine Coon.

Oh my lord, if it's half Maine Coon it's going to be huge!

She's going to be fabulous Wink

What did mum cat look like?

I don't see Maine coon myself, although harder to tell in a little kitty.
100% adorable :)

Hope you don't mind but I just wanted to butt in here. I brought my kittie in December
And was told her mum and dad were half bengal and half mancoon. I didn't know this until after. I have no idea If people telling the truth. I will put the pic they sent of parents. And then of Violet.

Very unsure, but maybe only way to tell is a dna test?

Aw she's so cute.
The RSPCA had our kitten down as part Mainecoon. Our vet laughed, and said a large number of owners bring their cats in thinking they are this, that or the other, when they are just moggies.
That shattered any illusions we had!

I don’t think she looks like a Bengal, they have a certain look about them as well as the obvious marble or spots.

WildCherryBlossom · 06/08/2023 21:07

She is absolutely gorgeous. I don't see any Maine Coon features. The spots do look a little bengal. The vast, vast majority of cats are mixed / moggies. This doesn't make them any less lovely!

Didn't you see the parents? She's adorable whatever she is.

I have a half Maine Coon cat and she's quite small. Her mum was also v small so think she takes after her.

Her brother looked much more Maine Coon like but was also not that big. Probably normal cat sized with an amazing very long bushy tail.

So I think it depends how the genes pass down.
