Wow....he is totally adorable!!! He is larger than the average 6 month old kitten. At this age, the average kitten is usually 4-6 pounds. He does appear to have a long body and also some longer hair. These are characteristics of Maine Coone. It is certainly possible that he has Maine Coone genes...or he is just a very big domestic cat. Your vet may be able to tell you more once he reaches his adult maximum size. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
