More Nowegian than Maine Coon to my thinking! A sweet Brown Tabby white DLH though!

Remember Maine Coons came from the domestic population. So there are a lot of domestic longhairs that resemble Maine Coons. Your kitten is not a Maine Coon but you could say she is a Maine Coon look-a-like.

The head shape and coat look a little more like a Norweigan Forest Cat then Maine Coon - but it could be either in the backgroud. She is pretty

Maine Coons have a rather square muzzle, Norweigans are triangular, and Siberians round/circular. I know it's pretty reductive, but you can use these shapes to decide what breed best resembles your longhaired cat.
