I know how you feel. It’s hard to find one just like the one you had. We have 2 Maine coon cats now, and they look totally different. One is long hair with the bushy tail and the other is short hair(we believe he is a mix). The short hair one was a stray, someone left him to die in our woods. He was skin and bones when we found him, just a kitten. I fed him and named him MoMO because he moans when he cries.

He may have been part wild. He was from Colorado. Someone once told me that wild cats (bobcats, lynxes, etc) only “pur in one direction” while exhaling. Domestic breeds pur steadily whether breathing in and out.

He tended to only pur on his exhales.
