Norwegian Forest Cat or Maine Coon??

I have a buff/cream tabby kitten from the SPCA who is approximately 4 months old.  The personality traits of the Norwegian Forest Cats and Maine Coons that I'm finding online seem almost identical to me, lol!  He has the long ear hair of both of them (which led me to them and others in the first place as guesses for his breed).  He is strong and curious, good with my dog, tolerant, and highly adaptable.  He's already mastered "Out" and "Here, Trip!" (and this is at the meager age of 4 months, of which I've had him for 2).  He'll try anything once, even non-cat usuals, including bread, applesauce, and green beans (and has decided to continue with the bread).  He'll even gnaw on the dog's bones and sticks, which is entirely adorable.  Chicken, turkey, shellfish, white fish, hamburger, and pork are all seemingly delicious.  He is growing very quickly in both size and weight, so I'd wager he'll be a large and sturdy cat.  When I adopted him he was smaller than my dog's head, and covered in about 5-6 dozen fleas.  Terrible that the SPCA would allow so many fleas on an adoptee, and not even warn potential owners! (I found out 3 days later when giving him a bath and noticing that all his "dirt" suddenly started moving!).

My mutt?  Thanks!  You must like her cuz she luvs cats.    Yup, I did a DNA test for her, and by themselves several of the breeds don't make sense but mixed together, they sure do.  She's part Alaskan Malamute (the pattern shows, though diluted colors); Whippet (runs like one and has the cat-paws); Pyranese (fur is entirely that texture, plus the color and double dewclaws show, and the slanted eyes); Red-ticked Coonhound (doesn't show in the build but she does have the ticking); and English Setter (trace amounts, doesn't show at all).  I got the kitten for her recently since she can't stand other dogs but loves cats.  And now the cat is taking after her, following her around and gnawing on bones, lol!  (I have a video of this bone gnawing thing).

P.S. Don't mind the chain.  We've since upgraded to a fence.

Sure!  This one's from the day I brought him home:

And this one's from today (like 5 minutes ago):

He wasn't much a fan of this one though:

As Domestic Long/Short-Hair is basically a fancy term for "mutt," I'm still thinking his dominant breed would be Wegie or Coon.  I figured I'd be getting a 'mutt' cat seeing as he came for free from the pound.  Like my dog is a mutt, but I could call her a "mostly malamute" since that breed is so immediately recognizable.  :)  Most people think German Shepherd when she's relaxed, or Husky when her tail is raised, but that wolfish charm of hers makes sense once I say Malamute.  Purebreds are basically domestics/mutts that have had certain traits brought forth and others weeded out over time, whether by our doing or by natural selection, so it makes sense that a mutt displaying enough traits of certain purebreds would have similar characteristics and health issues (or strengths) as well... ones not caused by inbreeding, anyway.  That's the curiosity here, is I've found two rather similar breeds (and popular enough to end up in a pound mutt) that could be his dominant, and I was hoping someone with knowledge of them could lean toward one or the other (or an entirely different medium-silky-furred, large-pawed, long-tailed, hair-coming-out-of-the-ear breed).  That ear hair of his sure helped narrow down the possibilities at least, since more breeds don't have them.

Yup I love my mutt dog too.  And it's especially cool that she has 5 breeds, and I have 5 nationalities!  (No, that was not a pre-determination for adopting her, we found that out afterward)  ^_^

But I'm fascinated with genetics.  And I like to narrow things down whenever possible, though the current cat dna testing technology isn't quite as tested-and-proven as the dog dna testing technology.  Darn!  Here are some interesting examples in HUMANS if we know our own genetics:

If you're Irish (especially with red hair), you're more likely to sunburn easily.

If you're Asian, you're highly likely to have "flushing" if drinking alcohol, and if you ignore this and drink anyway, you get a high risk of esophageal cancer.

If you're African, you're less likely to contract malaria from an infected mosquito, but you're more likely to develop sickle cell anemia.

Left-handed people are quite likely to be creative and artistic, as the right side of the brain (creative, emotional side) controls the left side of the body, and the left side of the brain (analytical, mathematic side) controls the right side of the body; however, cultural upbringing has a strong hand to play in this too.

Etc. etc.

He's got a bit of a roman soldier thing going on with his nose, doesn't he?  

LOL there's nothing quite like the sour pucker of a cat... I let him lick the vitamin C tablet I'd been gnawing on, since he seemed to intrigued by the smell of my breath.  The weird thing was he kept coming back for more, even though it obviously wasn't pleasing.  I swear he'll try anything.
