Is my cat a maine coon? 6 months old and started to grow long hair behind his ears. Long tail hair too but short hair otherwise (lemmy.ca)

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.
