This is Claude, he is now 6 months old. His fur hasn't stopped growing and he has developed this SPECTACULAR mane!!
He was a feral farm cat when I got him, mixed breed. Don't know anything about his lineage.
He will eat whatever I feed him and still want more, but he isn't fat, just muscle. His weight is around 4kg

Does he have Maine Coon in him? Should he be this massive at 6 months?

You cat is so handsome! I definitely see some Maine coon in him, he does have a strong resemblance. I think there is also the possibility of him having some British Longhair, or Persian (Doll face). Since his lineage is unknown I would just refer to him as a Domestic Longhair. I have a 7 month old kitty and she weighed around 7.1 lbs or 3.2 kg when she was 6 months. But how much a cat should weigh at a particular age varies from cat to cat. I don't think he's overweight, but just to be sure you should ask a vet. Also if you keep him on a healthy and balanced diet he shouldn't become overweight. My kitty was a rescued feral, and she was feed dry food all day (they would refill it practically every hour) at the adoption center. Luckily when I got her she was only there for a week, so she didn't gain a unhealthy amount of weight. I put her on a healthier diet consisting only two main meals day and some treats, she always wanted more and wouldn't stop pestering me, but eventually she had adjusted to her balanced diet and now she is very healthy.

 This is my kitty Hazel.

my parents have a Maine Coon mix (Maine Coon mother and unknown father) and your cat definitely resembles him. 4 Kilos at 6 months also point in that direction. Sylvester eventually clocked in at a very lean 8 kilos :)
