What's his personality? Those aren't Persian eyelids, so you'll need to note that whenever you enter him in a show. Of course, if he does have a Persian personality, then... actually I'm not certain how you'd get those eyelids lol but I trust you to know what you're doing. The pose looks okay, but I'll need a second opinion since I'm bad with Maine Coon-textured Catz. I've got bad eyesight tbh.

Yep, those are the Coon eyelids, so that works! I'm not certain exactly how much the jowls weigh into the judging of poses, but if you can get a pose with better jowls then that would definitely help.

Okay, I have labeled the image above with lines and numbers to help you a bit. Everything was actually very nice: 1. Tail slightly arched over back 2. Ears level 3. Eyes level 4. Front legs perfectly aligned, cannot see back legs at all 5. Nice visual space between hind legs (when catz are not too fluffy to show it) I'm not sure about the jowls, but they do look a bit off. I tried to label them with lines to see if they were equal, and they seemed to actually be? They're very confusing xD

I have a cat that has a tabby personality, and she absolutely never poses without wide eyes. I've tried literally hundreds of times...
My guess is that your cat is just being unique like mine, or that yours is actually perfect even though it appears to be off a little ^^

^ Both the Tabby and Maine Coon breedz pose with wide open eyes=) so it's perfectly normal for your Tabby to pose like that. I have a Persian cat who looks almost identical to yours, Mazzilyn!^^ I haven't entered his pose in any shows just yet, so I can't tell you how succesful it is, but Memphis here also seems to pose with those wonky jaws...maybe it's a Persian thing?xD haha

I just had to compare both images since they looked the same. But they are different, the texturing. Duh, stupid stupid me xD
What the heck did you guys breed to get such similar petz? Hehe xDxDxD
Is that texture in-game or was it an outside one? I'd love to use it in a tortie hex I'm working on, if you guys wouldn't mind?

I guess it's just a persian thing then? I never breed or show them, so I wouldn't know c:

That's actually an in game texture^^ from the Maine Coon breed (just like the Oshie texture etc.) If a cat has a true Persian personality it will always pose with relaxed eyelids, like this:

Wow, I never thought the texture would look like that on a black pet (I assume?)
I don't know if I can help any more, but I hope I helped a bit? c:
