6 Characteristics Of Maine Coon Cat Mix Local Cat

For cat lovers who have ever kept a Maine Coon cat, of course, it will be very easy to distinguish between a pure breed Maine Coon cat and a mixed Maine Coon cat, especially the type of Maine Coon mixed Local cat .

But for those who are unfamiliar with this type of cat, it will certainly be difficult to tell the difference. For those of you who have difficulty distinguishing between them, you can see the following characteristics that are usually found on the outer physique of this cat. Its characteristics include :

 1. Long And Big Tail

The first characteristic of the Maine Coon Mix Local cat is the long and large cat tail that exceeds the local cat's tail. It is estimated that the tail size of the Maine Coon Mix local Cat can reach 2 times that of a local cat of the same age as him.

When this Maine Coon cat grows very mature, its tail can reach three times the size of a local cat. Although the size of this cat's tail can be said to be large and long, it is quite smaller than the Pure Maine Coon breed.

For the thickness of the tail fur, this mixed cat's tail fur is a little less dense and long. Most likely this is because the cat is the result of crossbreeding that carries the gene of its parent who has short fur.

2. The Body Of A Cat Big But Not As Big As A Purebred Maine Coon Cat

The second characteristic is that the body of this type of cat is indeed large and even larger when compared to other types of cat breeds, but in the end the Maine Coon mixed Local Cat is unable to keep up with the bodies of its parents who are pure breeds.

As we know that a pure Maine Coon cat body weight can reach 9 to 12 kg. While the kittens from crossbreeding may only be able to reach a weight of under 9 Kg or maybe below it again

3. Cat's Face Shape Is Longer

The next feature is that the face shape of this mixed cat looks longer when compared to a purebred Maine Coon cat. In addition, the cat's face looks more oval and a little thinner. Perhaps this face shape occurs because of a genetic mix between Maine Coon cats and country cats. 

Now for the large face of the Mixed Maine Coon cat, this Local cat is not much different from the face of the Maine Coon cat.

4. Shorter Cat Fur

The fourth is that the cat's fur looks much shorter. The Maine Coon cat is not only big, but this cat also has fur that is much thicker and longer. Unfortunately for the Maine Coon mix Local cat, this cat's fur will appear much shorter and less dense.

This possibility is influenced by genetic factors that exist in the body of this type of mix cat. Well, even though the cat's fur looks a little short, overall the cat's fur still looks long and thick. The length of the fur even exceeds some types of other cat breeds.

This makes the cat still worth keeping, especially for those who like long-haired cats.

5. Cat Ears Wide And Long Up

The fifth characteristic is that the ears of kittens from crosses between these two types of cats will be similar to the ears of a Maine Coon cat. The cat's ears will be wide and also extend upwards like a Maine Coon cat's ear instead of being short and spaced like a local cat.

6. Cat's Paws Are Taller

Not only the cat's ears will be long but the same thing applies to the cat's feet. The cat's foot which is a mix between these two types of cat will also have long and large legs.

This is reasonable considering that they are descendants of one of the largest cats in the world, of course their feet will also be as big as their mother, which is a Maine Coon race.

Those are some of the characteristics of cats that are the result of crossbreeding between maine coon mixes of local cats. Hopefully this article can help you understand the characteristics of a mixed Maine Coon.
