The hair pattern around the neck looks similar.

My parents had a Maine Coon with similar coloration in the 60's, and my father trained it to use a toilet! He said the cat wasn't bothered by water anyway, and it was pretty easy to train it. They maintained a litter box for it too, but the cat would frequently use a toilet instead!

It was pretty old by the time I was born, so I don't really remember it. There's old pictures of that giant cat laying on me when I was a baby. They said it was gentle and very loving towards me.
