3. He looks more like a Norwegian Forest cat to me
which is likely related to the Maine Coon, but without the addition of "American forest cat" blood (lynx and bobcat). Norwegian Forest cats generally have smaller muzzles and long hair all over their bodies-while Maine Coons have large, squarish muzzles, "lynx tips" on the ears, and the very long hair is confined to the ruff, belly, tail, and "britches".

Here's mine for comparison:



Note the shorter hair on the back and legs:









You might also look up Siberian forest cats, though I think Siberians may be slightly less hairy than your guy
