What Breed is My Cat?

Both look like domestic shorthairs. Very cute!

cameronsilver,  

I agree with Stefan,  this cat definitely has an old style Siamese look ( that are now also called Thai).   Impossible to say for sure if the cat is pure Siamese or may have something else mixed in  There are a lot of pointed cats who are basically pointed domestic shorthairs who just  just inherited the color pattern passed down from a few distant ancestors,  but I would say from what i can see of the head and body that this kitty has at least some significant amount of Siamese ancestry .   

 And although there are random-bred cats who do turn out by chance to have deep blue eyes, the depth of eye color is more often seen when there's been some selective breeding for it. 

Lovely cat.

Hello I was wondering if someone could tell me what breed my beautiful kitty is? She has yellow eyes an is so friendly hope someone can help me

Domestic shorthair; I can't see any particular breed. Her coloring is blue-cream tortoiseshell-and-white, the dilute form of a tortie-and-white, called a calico pattern in the US.

What breed to these cats look?

Anyone have any ideas what my newest girly is? Or mixed with? Her back legs are completely orange tabby and she has he orange in her face and on her chest. Her body has VERY faded stripes, you almost can't see them, but her legs and face have them very boldly. She's wild looking, I love her! I'm assuming DSH, but I've never seen a coloration like hers (and I worked/work with animals since 16) so I'm just curious

I'll try to get a picture of her back legs

Thompsoon1 - they both look like domestic shorthairs to me. The cream cat has stunning eyes!

Wolfie305 - she would be DSH without papers. She does have lovely colouring. What a pretty little kitty!

l would love to see more pictures of your kitty's colouring. She has a gorgeous face!

I'll take a side picture and a few others as soon as I get home from work! I agree, she's got the cutest little face (although I might be a little biased )
 

i used to have a used to have a cat like that

She has a very pretty face. The pattern is called "torbie-and-white" or "tortoiseshell tabby-and-white". The stripes are mackerel tabby (I think).

Thompsoon.   You have some very pretty cats that do in some ways resemble some breeds  .   but may be very entirely of moggy ancestry.                                                     

 ( The vast majority of cats are not a breed or mix of breeds.  and often if a cat does have some pedigree ancestry mixed in, it is very hard to tell,  since the random-bred "domestic shorthairs" and "domestic longhairs" come in such a great variety. 

 The first is a Silver Mackerel Tabby.       The gene for silver is in the general cat population  -- that's where the pedigree cats got it.   This cat  looks somewhat reminiscent of an Egyptian Mau but they're spotted tabby and this cat seems to be mackerel tabby ( striped)   A Mau breeder would know better than I  if they ever do have mackerel  tabbies turn up due to recessive genes.   But it would be very unlikely for anyone to have a Mau and not already know it.     In Egypt they still do have some native Maus.     If you're in that part of the world and found the cat somewhere,  he may be something like that. 

   I am not saying he IS that breed. but he reminded me of one.    Might be entirely moggy, 

2nd looks like he has a color pattern called  Red Point or Cream Point .    From just one head shot it's hard to say which for sure.  the color is sort of in between.  not as bright an orange as some Red Points.   but red points are slow to develop their point color.  so if the cat is young , he / she may still keep changing. 

  Cream Point is the dilute version of Red Point.  it's a paler orange / peach sort of color o the "points".

The pointed pattern came originally from Siamese, but over the past century it has spread widely around the world , either by humans deliberately breeding it into other cats ,  or by Siamese and their descendants over many, many generations , mating with the local cats in the many countries to which Siamese were imported.    There are many, many  pointed 'moggies' -- cats of no particular breed.  and that's probably what this beautiful cat is.     He could have a Ragdoll grandparent or something.  but could be also from many generations of moggies. Really nice shade of blue on the eyes.  

Wolfe what a beautiful cat!

Wolfie that is a very pretty torbie kitten! 

Thank you guys! Here are some pictures of her legs and body

Awwww! She is beautiful, really cute! Though, I have to say--it's not just her cuteness; you have a knack for photographing her nicely, too.

Thank you! I do photography on the side, as I am a web dev/graphic designer for my profession and it tends to come with the job. Photographing animals is my all time favorite!
 

She has an  interesting arrangement of the black and red parts on the body -- usually it's more interspersed,  but it can turn up with the black bits and red bits arranged in any way.

  and with the whitish  agouti hairs   I'm  wondering if she could be  Black Silver Mackerel Torbie and White. ?  anyone else see that,  or am i just imagining it?   

Otherwise she would be Brown Mackerel Torbie and White.  

Maybe just a kitten coat? It'll be more obvious whether it's brown or silver when she's older, I think.

Our mama cat outside she has the exact same patter on her but she is fixed and her name will always be mama kitty
