He has a squeaky little voice which is rarely used and he is enormous
for his age.

Looks a little like one, but IMO not enough - body is long like a MC. He's a pretty Domestic LH tho - nice shade of blue color

He is about 6 months old and is about 6lbs. Thank you for your help.

He looks like a very handsome dlh to me
he sure is one gorgeous little guy!


He does not really look like a Turkish Angora to me though (his ears should be a little closer together and i'm not seeing much in the way of a wedge shaped face, the body shape is a little similar though) -you can click on my Isabella's picture next to my sn for comparison- she's a TA
) Does your handsome little guy have an undercoat? (most long hairs do- TA's however do not- makes grooming them a breeze!) They also have "rabbit" looking back legs
They do come in multiple colors, not just white....he could very well be mixed with TA but without papers we just wouldn't know for sure. I do not think he's full blooded though. (which doesn't matter- what matters is that he has a wonderful home with you to give him lots of love!
)

I'm not seeing Maine Coon- that's typically a pretty larger boned breed- very muscular...you might ask in the breeders lounge though what some of the people that are more experienced with breeding might thing!
I'm not as familiar with Maine Coons as i am with TA's


Eithor way though- he sure is a handsome guy!

Same thought. He's a beautiful grey/blueish shade though!

He is so handsome. Why not ask the Vet?

Looks like a very handsome domestic medium/long hair to me


I've seen quite a few moggies in this neck of the woods that have Maine Coon-esque features...long tails, furry paws, tufted ears...oh, yeah and I want to take them all home!
