I think my kitten Midnight might actually be a full Maine Coon. I don't know how to find that out for sure. I took him to the vet, and she said "Wow is that a Maine Coon?" I just said "No just a long hair tabby". I know my last vet thought my cat Lynxx might have some Maine Coon in him, but we know he's a tabby.
The thing that does make me question whether Midnight is a real Maine Coon, is I saw pictures online of them. He has the same eyes, his face is the same shape, his paws are bigger than him. When Lynxx was a kitten his paws were huge to, but Midnight's are really huge. His tail is getting longer and fluffier. His fur feels different than Lynxx's.
The other thing that makes me question Midnight is my mother's friend at work found him outside her house at 3 weeks old. She knew we were looking for a kitten because of Luna. She told my mother, and we took him. Now she lives on a farm. The people around her live on farms, and are farmers.
About a week after we got Midnight, my mother's friend told us he came from a neighboring farm. The farmers were asking everyone if they found any kittens. They woke up 1 morning found the mother and kittens gone. The mother came back. They really wanted those 4 kittens, but they said they were happy knowing Midnight came to a good home.
Well what we were thinking is farmers aren't going to go door to door looking for their barn kittens right? My grandparents live next to farmers, and they don't even know their barn cats.
Anyway we think they kept bothering the mother and kittens, and the mother moved the kittens and Midnight got lost while moving. Well if those farmers had Maine Coons they planned on selling, or at least 1/2 Maine Coons they must have showed people the kittens, made the mother nervous enough to relocate.
Like I said farmers aren't going to go door to door endlessly searching for barn kittens, but they would if they had pure bred kittens right? so is it possible Midnight is a Maine Coon? He looks so much like them that it's incredible.
Or is this just wishful thinking on my part, considering I always wanted a Maine Coon?
Sorry this was so long, I just wanted to know if it was possible?

Most longhaired brown tabbies look very much like Maine Coons.
