![]() We were pretty sure she was smoke and when we officially registered her with CFA, put that as her color. The breeder had her down as solid on the paperwork, but said could turn out to be black smoke since the sire was. Our black Maine Coon, Luna, has gone through several color changes on her coat since we got her at 16 weeks. His siblings were a mixture of solid blues, dilute tortoishells and silver tabbies, he was the only solid black one. Is this a normal thing for maine coons? Is he still a solid black? The other odd thing is that he has a silver patch on his chest and chin, not black, not white, definitley grey/silver and the base of all the hair on his tummy is silver grey, definitley not black, it is a very obvious colour change from the tips of the hair, however it is much lighter than the grey roots on his back, almost white silvery grey. He also has ghost tabby stripes on his legs and head. It is a he, definitley not a female tortoishell. He also has random white long hairs sticking out here and there. If I part the hair I can see tge base of the hair is grey/blue, mid shaft is black and the tip of the shaft is orange/amber. The Maine Coon is the largest domestic cat breed in the world.My cat is a pedigree Maine Coon but I'm not sure what genes he is carrying to cause such an odd coat pattern, or is this normal variation in long haired black cats? He is black essentially but on his back (only on his back although the pattern sort of shades in from his neck then out at his tail) he is shaded with amber like a cat that has spent too much time in the sun. However, I think that it is more to do with the fact that we are only seeing the very big Maine Coons on the Internet as they attract the most attention.īut there is somebody out there, a cat breeder, who is breeding these enormous domestic cats. Sometimes it seems that Maine Coon cats are getting bigger by the day. The cat's head is, as you can see, about the same size as the head of his human companion. It is a photograph on the Instagram website. ![]() I don't know where the photograph was taken. Huge silver tabby Maine Coon with jet black feet. Maine Coons should be quite slender under all that shaggy fur. He does, however, look as if he is a tad overwright. This cat is about the size of a Canada lynx which is remarkable because the lynx is a medium-sized wild cat species. It contrasts very nicely with the shiny silver coat. And it is all the more visible because of its dark colour. You know, for MCs, there should be hair between the toes sticking out like this. The hair between the toes, which sticks out at all angles, is black. ![]() Their champion Maine Coons are much more conventional in size. ![]() The CFA does not show us cats like this on their website. 'Well tufted' means hair between the toes. ![]() The Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA) states this about the feet: Paws large, round, well-tufted. The cat is a silver tabby in my opinion and perhaps the more interesting aspect of this cat beyond his size is the jet black feet. The size is at the very top end of Maine Coon size. Firstly, as expected, this is a huge cat. This is a very interesting looking Maine Coon cat. ![]()
