What a jolly nice thing to say.
That's an "I hate you" look if ever I saw one
Ask any Maine Coone breader and they will tell you there is no such thing as a Main Coone Cross Breed.
For some reason they think they are so closely bread that these crosses don't happen.
I too have what appears to be Maine Coone cross.
The big fluffy tail and "old mans hair" around his ears are dead give aways.
He also exhibts some of the Maine Coone traits like standing on his hind legs and also "fetching" things like a dog does.
They are so much fun - oh and despite his massive fluffy tail he's learnt to really not get it dirty in any way!

Regarding your "cross", what's he like size wise? I'd say we had one, and he was large... But not stupidly large!
He is a big cat.
I'll try and get some updated pictures of him.
We took him on as a 6 month old from a rescue centre.
He was quite a size when we got him - but he's certaily grown some more and he's only about 15 months old now.
He's one of the biggest cats in our neighbourhood.
It's probably why we had a little problem integrating him into our home.
We already had a 12 year old female - not usually a problem as she is in charge.
But when a 6 month old joins the household and he's almost twice the size of her she was non too impressed.

absolutely lovely 
Just filmed my kittens having a little play... it's a shame the camera on my phone isn't better. Also when they were playing earlier some of the jumps were even more epic... they weren't quite as playful here, but I'll try and get another video later. Oh and just ignore my girly giggling. 
the cat that went missing on the last page comes back for about an hour every 3/4 days :/ hes got fat though... have a feeling a neighbour will be luring him with meat/tuna because hes a looker
this guy from early in the thread is pretty much why the other will of decided hes had enough though...
still huge, still evil, still scared of everyone ,still makes other cats run a mile just by looking at them

Update on our Kittens!
They are 6 months tomorrow, time has gone so quickly! Just a quick question regarding their diets! Ben is getting very big comapred to Lola, both are happy, SO friendly, great personalities and a pleasure to have (Most of the time) Got the both neutered & chipped last week, so in a week or 2 once fully healed they'll be venturing outdoors! (Excited and sad about this!)
Diet wise, they LOVE James Welbeloved complete meal biscuits, they'll eat the Turkey and Lamb ones till the cows come home! Duck is grwoing on them too!
meat wise, they started out on Felix kitten from when we had them (8 weeks) as thats what they had before, we started them on Nature's Menu, and also High Life for some variety, but they generally seem to leave the food until the James Wellbeloved are sprinkled on, and then Lola will normally eat the biscuits off, Ben does pretty much the same, sometimes gobbling some meat down too! Even tried going back to basics with Whiskers to see if they would eat that, but pretty much rejected by Lola, and eaten a bit by Ben!
I'm thinking they'll obviously be fine with just the James Wellbeloved biscuits if that is what they seem to enjoy eating, they'll happily have a bowl and are not afraid to have some water after (and then jump in the sink!). Would anyone think its a bad move to move them solely to the biscuits? I've heard good things about them, but would happily try other biscuits with them if advised, as they just seem to prefer biscuits (and nature's menu treats!) to meat any day of the week.
Any advice would be appreciated, would just like to make sure I am doing the right thing with them! And also wondering the best age to move them form kitten biscuits to adult?
Thanks again for and help

This is Sunny, who left us last year. Thought I would share one of my favourite photos of him.
I miss you!

TimBrad - I would just stick to James Wellbeloved biscuits, and make sure there is always plenty of fresh water available. That's all I feed my cat (except the odd tin of Applaws) and she is incredibly healthy on it. They recommend sticking to kitten food until they are a year old.
Applaws food is about as high quality as it comes.
Have you tried Applaws Dry cat food?

Not yet. Thought about it, but my local pet shop does James Wellbeloved for such a good price I have just stuck with that.
Oh yeah, anyone using James Wellbeloved products make sure you register for a free sample on their website, as they regularly send out money off vouchers

Here's a close up of our boy Max, he was about 7 months old (Yes a kitten lead was being worn )
)
Hah same here, our cat is a Maine Coone cross too, with the big fluffy tail and the old man ears. The extra fluff around the neck gives it away too. Our cat (Alfie) is pretty big but not Maine Coone-dimensioned, and he exhibits the same traits as you listed. Really friendly too - his favourite activity is rubbing his cheeks on everything, whether person or table or the floor! He likes winter though as it means he can sit down by the fire all day and sleep
