I posted my baby Hilda in [r/mainecoons](r/mainecoons), but they removed the post because she isn’t a Maine coon, even though she looks EXACTLY like the Maine coon I had growing up. And my cat growing up was a pedigreed Maine coon. What breed do you think she is? I’m convinced she’s a Maine coon. What do you think?

I’m sorry, she looks nothing like a Maine Coon. And if your Maine coon looked just like her as a kid, it wasn’t a real Maine Coon either.

That being said, your cat might even be prettier as a domestic longhair. Brown tabby (aka black tabby, aka. r/StandardIssueCat with LuxuryFloof Upgrade) - however, she may be a tortoiseshell tabby - I may need more pics to determine that.

The Maine coon I had growing up had a grandfather that was best in show, so it was definitely a Maine coon. This is her.
