Is there anyplace where you can post a picture and find out what kind of cat you most likely have? For rescue cats and such? Or a really detailed site with photos for determining what kind of cat you have?

Thanks!

hmm, I haven't heard of a site like that. But if you were to grab a Cat Fanciers magazine, you should be able to see the closest breed you cat resembles. They have excellent photos of almost all breeds

Well, here he is. I've had other pics of him posted before, but I can't find them now.

He's 8 months old, and it never came up what kind of cat he is, we just have told everyone we rescued a kitty. But someone today asked me what KIND of cat he is, and I realized I had no clue.
I'm very new to cats, and don't know the breeds well. I assume he's most likely just a mix. . ?





Not great photos, but his fur is gray on the top and all white underneath, if that means anything?

Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me an idea.

He looks like he's just a mixed breed
. The fur coloring is called Smoke. He is a very beautiful cat! He looks like his legs are short, almost like he's part Munchkin! Are his legs short?

Movin' on up!
I love white whiskers on a dark face. He looks like a domestic shorthair, to me.

Thanks.

I don't think his legs are especially short, I think in the top pic he is crouched down a bit.

So I'll just tell anyone who asks that he's a mix, color of coat -Smoke (I like that!).

Thanks again!!

Afterall, he's too special to be called a "mutt"! He would get offended I think!
