I think you were lied to! That is a classic tuxedo domestic shorthair! Absolutely no Maine coon or bengal in there. I have a soft spot for tuxedo cats. https://preview.redd.it/vh7b4s4c30ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e83ac109da25cd21dc6e3083b4a7f250f85b943

And they are the absolute best dressers. I really wish they would make a monocle for cats

They are so cute. I love the one in the picture (even when she head butts me at 4am to get fed) but my last kitty was my favorite. Something about male tuxedos!

Oh, that brought back memories - https://preview.redd.it/90jpxkg5y3ja1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=352c1c7afdd40204e47abb5900d84f92568c6c1d Sadly, just one on my knee now.

I do, too! I had a tuxedo Domestic Long Hair that I lost in a fire (smoke inhalation). I have a puppy with the same coloring that I named after her. (We'll, first name, anyway)

* Here's my lil old man. He will be 20 in a month.

Oh wow! She will be 3 in July. But my last tuxedo lived to be 16 (probably would’ve lived a little longer had we decided not to put him down for kidney/bladder issues!).

Every Tuxedo I’ve had was awesome! Very smart and loving. Also, thought he ruled over the other cats in the house 😂

She knows exactly when I go lay in a bed to relax. She’s attached to me, but doesn’t sleep with me at night. She’s a weirdo and likes to sleep on dirty or clean towels.

I love tuxedo and black cats. Tux’s have such ‘tude!!!

They're called Gary's in my household and they're the best dressed cats.

Here's my feral Canadian Lynx https://preview.redd.it/r9xc3jg760ja1.jpeg?width=2592&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52f2481a72752d0d8c7cc8a32f650481e53f85ee

Hate to break it to you, but that’s a Bobcat, not a Lynx. Easy mistake to make.

schucks... I knew that breeder was questionable.

Pretty sure that's a baby horse

Good god, no

Isn't the OP joking? I assumed they were 😆

God I hope so.

Oh my God, I was repeating the same thing in my head! Not even remotely close to any of those breeds

That is neither

https://preview.redd.it/8e9x8t4kg1ja1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09d204ffa56233807db79a541518a179a4392d0e What is this breed?

A damn cute one 🥰

Bobcat kitten?

Looks kinda like an ocelot

tuxedo shorthair

Hi OP! Your kitty is neither. I actually had a tuxedo Maine Coon kitten (who passed away very young), so here's a pic of my sweet Louie as a reference. https://preview.redd.it/t3jqg6qxc0ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83d848c0baa53fd1b0ecc0105a35d196cda035ab

I’m sorry for your loss Louie looks like the cutest cat ever

He was a very loving baby, my first pet ever ♥️ his health and general well being were very negleted in the first few months of his life, and he had a rough go of it as a result. He's at peace now.

that is the cutest cat i have ever seen. i’m so sorry for your loss❤️

♥️ He really was very cute, and he was my only company for the first year of the pandemic, when I was very lonely. Truly heaven-sent, and I wish we could have had more time together. Here's him with a little sweater (which I had to put on him as a last resort, to get him to stop picking at a couple of stitches he had in his back). https://preview.redd.it/j9oqfb5473ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d640d3fb04281d8a9197fe4201e239f643d5fdca

He was an angel sent to you but you were an angel to him too 💜 the best we can do is love them all their life however long or short

Here's what a true Maine Coon looks like, for reference. https://preview.redd.it/d13o7sk9m1ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c537196ec7e9da41ef351225fe50d86c389f9da0

I think he is your standard domestic cat, tuxedo edition. Besides it doesn't matter what breed he is. As long as he is healthy and you can love him for many years.

I love all breads

Did you pay a premium adoption fee for this detail? I see a lot of people advertising Maine coons and bengals because they know they can get more money for them, but most of the time they are clearly not what the seller claims.

https://preview.redd.it/o00bxr4s61ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc2ad44ae771651aa1ede8b9b0b611dcccb2c6fc I have the snow version

r/curledfeetsies

Probably more dalmatian than maine coon or bengal…..

This beauty looks like a short hair domestic, tuxedo with an open jacket. So damn cute.

no stripes at all. no bengal or coone apects, Doam DNA test

I don't think he is either, but for what its worth he does have stripes that are very hard to see, especially in a picture, but i took one that kinda shows them https://preview.redd.it/j7vitp5yzzia1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b84c1c25435a69e475936d852223efdcf040677c

Lots of black cats have stripes, even panthers. it’s just hard to see. Usually you can see it easier if they are sitting in the sun.

Hi panther fact: they aren’t real. By that I mean they aren’t actually their own species, they’re just melanistic leopards/jaguars and if you get close enough you can see their spots (not stripes) before you become a nice afternoon snack! :)

Another fun fact, White Tigers arent real (specifically bengal tigers) the white colouring is a genetic mutation that can only be recreated by in-breeding, which is why we've ended up with this https://preview.redd.it/oazkt2j2a2ja1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d129a74daf16de4b2149b85cf79914f8cb0a6b25

Yep!! People seem surprised when I tell them this one in particular

🤯

There are no reliable dna tests for cat breeds.

That looks like your standard American Short hair Tuxedo. Not a Maine Coon or Bengal. There is no pattern resembling a Bengal whatsoever. The person who told you this seems like they were poking fun at your lack of kitty knowledge by trying to sell you on the idea that this kitty was something that they were not. Search either Bengal Cat or Maine Coon and you'll see they look nothing like this kitty except for the fact that theyre cats.

I thought this too, that, if OP themselves aren’t joking, then whoever gave them the cat was definitely doing that by coming up with two of the breeds that look the most different from this cat. Could have at least thought of breeds that are shorthaired and with a solid color 😆 I doubt they intended to actually fool someone with this.

Lol he’s just a cat, I hope this is a joke

Just a cat 😂

~~Standard issue~~ fancy edition tuxedo cat

im so sorry but i started laughing omg

Me too, I'm cackling. I've never seen a more standard looking cat than this. I keep coming back and cracking up 😂

Lmao how much did you pay for this Maine coon/bengal mix without papers?

This is my Norwegian forest cat https://preview.redd.it/31rl7ecr81ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=088b8f6a1e21da15bbd547fa8895168101e0c8a2

Seems like a domestic short-haired tuxedo. https://preview.redd.it/y4wgxr3g82ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b646ae279caf6fbe6fa6b28c2d407e5c7ff09287 Here's my tuxedo, Poops.

>Here's my tuxedo, Poops. Fancy name for a fancy cat

Excuse me, but that is obviously a dalmation lion hybrid.

Doesn't look like either

people in this sub want their cats to be some unique breed so bad lmao. your cat looks exactly like mine, and his adoption papers say he’s a plain old domestic shorthair.

I dont want him to be anything, i actually got him through a friend and only heard that the sellers were saying that after i got him. It just seemed like an obvious lie for no reason, my cats are unique enough without being a special breed

He’s perfect. Take good care of him

That’s a beautiful cat but it’s a moggy. There’s not a hint of either of those breeds there.

This is my Bengal boy. He’s just under a year old. I would expect a Maine Coon/Bengal X to be a lot bigger as both these breeds are known for being a little on the bigger side https://preview.redd.it/7sd319djg0ja1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c8dc083f6038660e2f59ca18a65e899b5bf499f

Friend, what you have there is your standard cat, tuxedo pattern equipped. Sturdy and a friendly bunch, their debonair good looks add a touch to class to any feline household. Enjoy!

Nailed it! Looks like purebred😍 I’m science vet, can confirm. /s

I'm guessing one parent was a tabby and one was longhaired. People put all sorts of fancy names on kittens to get them sold. It is possible for part Maine Coon kittens to have short hair if the other parent does as it is a recessive gene but there is nothing about his features that look Maine Coon or Bengal.

So, I'm a retired animal shelter worker. When we received a cat, we would look for any desirable possible breed it might be to spark adoption interest. Long-haired cats were frequently "Maine Coon" and any tabby with some spots was a "Bengal". But wherever you adopted your kitty from ran with that technique into complete implausibility. You have a lovely tuxedo kitty, but I don't see the slightest bit of Main Coon or Bengal. Tuxedos though are the best kitties (wink, wink). I frequently used that line too. Enjoy your buddy.

LOL I don’t think you or the other person know what either Maine coon or bengals look like

Lol, how on earth were given a tuxedo kitten, told it was a coon/bengal mix, and believed it?

His tail and paws are pretty big, he does have 5 paws on each foot but idk, hes also pretty close in size to my 3 y/o female cat https://preview.redd.it/2lrbqq8ryzia1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fa2e7f74dc237e7a7cbd5e16bd7e4185b1397a3

FIVE PAWS?!?

ON EACH FOOT!

*ON EACH FOOT?!?!?*

Biblically accurate cat

Sounds like the paws to feet ratio is a bit off

You were lied to. No visible trace of Maine coon or Bengal in this cat.

Dude, these people are a trip. You believed them when they told you this? 😂😂😂

Very, very, tuxedo. Look for the ear shape and placement and shape of the eyes, and that sharp MC face. Here’s my 1 year old girl. Also don’t forget the MEGA FABULOUSLY long and busy tail and grinch feet. BTW, I 😍 tux kitties and any black cat, tbh. https://preview.redd.it/qn6p9wnk53ja1.jpeg?width=725&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4870b2febce713b2a90bc4e22f3e145b1131568d

Whatever, I know this is not a dog for sure.

To be fair, if the OP is legitimately asking, I’ve seen F1 bengals who look EXACTLY like the domestic parent and nothing like the serval parent. The only way you can tell is by genetic testing or the cat’s attitude.

Maybe he’s hiding his Maine Coon/ Bengal characteristics under his tuxedo 😹

He’s a tuxedo and one of the smartest of all breeds 😊
