This is a female cat. I am not sure how old she is what do you think?

But what is her breed? Were her parents 2 seperate colors? Is she a pedigree?

Looks like your average domestic short hair. No particular breed. She is pretty though.

She's pretty! I agree that she's not a purebred. A basic moggie. I love black and white kitties.

Hi there! I'm glad you found our site!

I believe a "pedigree" literally means that the cat has papers, or is registered. You should Google something like "cat color genetics" or something like that. From what I can remember, at least one of the parents was black, and at least one of the parents has the white spotting gene. The color is carried on the X chromosome, so since she is a "she," I'm pretty sure neither one of her parents was red (that's what they call the orange color.)

If I can help you with questions you have about our site, just ask. You can respond in this thread, or click on my name and send a PM.

She's a black & white bicolor domestic shorthair, a moggie.
Hard to say what her parents looked like, but most likely one of them was a solid color, probably black or blue and the white spotting has to come from one or both of the parents. The other parent could have almost looked like anything, excluding red (but including tortie).

I believe the scientific term is "moo cat".

She's a very pretty cat.

Here is a interesting little chart on bi-color cats patterns which you might find interesting.

Pfft, and I suppose you would say there's no moo cat class either?
