His Parents are 

Mother - American Shorthair Silver tabby

Father - Bengal marbled

since my cat doesnt have papers im curious what my cat looks like it is a silver tabby but not a round face but square muzzle

i adopted oreo who's source is not reliable about its breed but i saw his parents.

is it bengal or tabby or a different kind?

btw. I love my cat! he's so playful he meows often when i first got him but now he seems a little quiet but very playful!

he's 2months old now

the 1st set of pics he's 1 1/2 month the 2nd set of pics he's 2months

1st set









2nd set

oh and btw i forgot to ask. off topic. i find my kitten that his coat is somewhat faded black in some parts. is it normal with this kind of pattern? when he grows up will it turn to pure black? thanks!

He is one gorgeous boy :rbheart:

His color is silver classic tabby ;)

A tabby is a type of coat pattern not a breed :D
If you know for sure his parents were a American shorthair and a Bengal, well, that would make him a cross/mix between them two breeds.

His faded black markings may get darker as he gets older, or they may fade even more. This is something only time will tell as he gets older.

Beautiful boy for sure :heart3:

If you mean does he look more like a American Shorthair or a Bengal. Then I would would say he has more a American shorthair body shape but more a bengal head shape. So I wouldn't say he looks more like one breed than the other, more half and half ;)

Yes i think with this kind of swirl it is a tabby or they call it marbled. Thanks!!
