Is my cat a Siberian or a Maine Coon?

Hey there!

OMG! So hard to tell!

You do have a very beautiful cat though!

It all depends! It looks a bit like a Maine Coon to me. It may be a Siberian also! It could just be a tabby domestic long haired cat also.

Perks:

Siberians are known to love water, so see if he likes water.

Siberians are hypo allergenic, so let a person who is allergic to cats spend a couple of hours with him and see if they react.

Maine Coons are the 2nd most popular cat breed so he could definitely have some of that in him. Brown tabbies are most common in this breed. Norwegian Forest cats have a really heavy coat and come in many different colors. The one it is least likely to be is the Siberian as this breed is somewhat rarer although it is gaining great popularity because many people are not allergic to them. All three of the breed could have ear tufts(points on tips of ears) I don't want to disappoint you but unless you bought him from a breeder it's not very likely he is a pure breed. He is probably a mix of several different breeds of cat including the ever popular "stray" or "moggie" variety that is loved and cherished worldwide.

W/O papers and a pedigree you have a lovely tabby domestic longhair cat. But the coat does resemble the Siberian more then the Maine Coon.

Not in the least bit. Why would you think so? And how would it be one if you didn't buy it from a breeder? Siberians START at around $1,200 and Maine Coons around $600. The ONLY way to get one is to buy one from a registered breeder.

Your cat is simply a domestic longhair - no breed or mix of breeds just like over 97% of cats. Coat is Brown Mackerel Torbie and White. Beautiful cat and most certainly a female.

Hi there,

From looking at your pictures, I would say Maine Coon, however they are very similar in appearance.

Here is a guide to help determine the difference. Bear in kind that your cat may not be purebreed.
