Hi kirstyr86 and welcome to TCS! 


I'm afraid I can't offer you any info as it's just too difficult to know what her parents would be.  As for her hair length, that is also difficult to tell with a kitten as it can change.  I've often seen very fluffy kittens transform into short haired cats.

One thing's for sure.. she's a gorgeous little girl..

Thankyou for welcoming me she's gorgeous and definitely got the tortitude rube around like a little nutter I've also got issues with her biting and pouncing mainly in Mr head legs arms if you could point me In the right direction for tips to possibly reduce this behavior that would be fab

That's what kittens do... biting and pouncing is all part of it... but it does get tricky.  Firstly, and you probably know this, never use hands or other body parts as 'toys' as you just invite attack. 

Provide distractions when she does it.. take her attention to a toy etc.  Give her heaps to keep her occupied generally. Climbing poles, hidey holes, interactive toys are all pretty essential for kittens.

It's at this stage people sometimes decide to get a second kitten, but that isn't an option just to solve the problem.. you have to really want two manic kittens!

I find a little 'hiss' like her mum would make quite effective to stop unwanted behaviour if all else fails.

Thankyou for the reply she has lots of toys she just can't help herself from anything moving :) I would love another but I have a small apartment and as they would be indoor cats I don't think there is enough room she does have beautiful markings she's also a very talkative cat
