Probably a domestic longhair. Maine Coons have really distinctive heavy snouts, they're dramatically huge, like the size of a bobcat, and they've got this dense 3 layer coat that forms a lion-like mane.
If it's just some little dude that wandered up out of the world in the top 50th percentile of fluffiness, what you've got there is a domestic longhair. Probably introduce him to brushing while he's young because mats aren't fun, otherwise same operator's manual as a shorthair. Obligate carnivore diet, scatching post and sandbox, gentle scritches behind the ears, lots of naps, sunny windowsill for basking.
Could be a mixed-breed? I'm no expert, but things like that do happen.
Either way, what an interesting and special little genetic anomaly you've found. I had a cat whose belly -- and only her belly -- was covered in fine curls. Straight everywhere else. Never seen anything like it before or since.
Idk they're like people, races/breeds are just made up nonsense. It's all one species felis catus, they can all breed together, and your cat is a unique and beautiful cat!

He's missing the super long ear hair tufts. Here's my guy for comparison

Oh boy... now I discovered that Sarah Connor once fall in love with a Kilrathi. The 80s/90s where a interesting time.

I don’t know why, but your cat is giving strong Ralph Wiggum energy
I think it’s how the hairs that stick out clump into strands

0ndead@infosec.pub · 10 pts · 102d
I’d say no, due to the lack of a mane
zwerg@feddit.org · 4 pts · 102d
Also no where near big enough

Does your cat look like Ron Perelman? If so, yes. If not, no.
QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 102d
Yep, that's Ron right above your comment. :D

Your pretty cat is obviously turning into Reed Richards. Congratulations!
