Can someone help tell me what kind of breed this is? I'm thinking bobcat mixed with a maine coon.

No bobcat, that's a given. Bobcat hybrids are somewhat of an urban legend. These are usually just big cats. There are cat/wildcat hybrids out there, but no one produces bobcat hybrids. There is some kind of genetic issue that prevents conception. Procreation is possible, but there will be no fertilization. I don't know why... Google is your friend.

Your kitty would be considered a domestic long hair. She is very beautiful! She reminds me of a brown tabby colored version of my kitty Beans. I got her when she was about your kitties age/size.

Enjoy her kittenhood and take plenty of pictures. They grow up SO fast.

Oh, and get her used to a grooming/brushing schedule now. If she let's you brush her without much complaint, give her a few treats so she associates grooming with happy thoughts.

You don't want to deal with a long haired cat that hates being brushed. Trust me...

We had a bobcat mix for 8 years. Had her DNA tested. They are rare but do exist. This cat doesn't resemble a bob mix.

She could be one of my kitty's twin.  I have always just thought of her as a domestic long-hair no bobcat in her.

Hi @just me9 and welcome to TCS..


The member who asked this question hasn't been back, so I doubt they'll see your post.

Would you like to come and introduce yourself at New Cats on the Block?

Hi J just me9 . Welcome to TCS. A Pixie Bob has no wildcat blood at all as far as I know. They are just bred to look similar to a Bobcat. They are said to have dog-like purr-sonalities.
