WHAT BREED IS MY CAT?

I want to take out pet insurance and i have to know the breed of my cat, till this day i am still unsure, everytime i go to the vets i forget to ask, please reply if you think you know what breed he is, my guess would be american shorthair but i dont know because hes fur is like medium length evn though there is no such thing.. He sheds alot and i can see how long his fur really is, so i dont know what fur length he has! Also he is slim, he weighs average for his age but he is still really slim i dont know if that helps.. He may be domestic shorthair i dont know :/ you cant tell in the photo of his long fur but they are long

If you dont have any paper, no known history, nor you yourself know,  she is counted as a domestic.

As I understand it, its perfectly OK you do write it in the insurance papers.    Does it matter anyway with your insurance company?     It doesnt with our Swedish insurance.   The only is for pedigreed cats there is usually  some death clausule, making the insurance more costly.   Also, pedigreed cats are often used in breeding...

So, if you arent interested in breeding nor death pay paymet, just want a good veterinary care - write as it is  domestic.

If you wonder, what look alike she is, its another question.  I myself find both wholly black cats and wholly white cats often difficult caracterise.  They are so often stunning beautiful, yet I know just a few of them do belong to a real breed.  I mean, theree are at least two  twins of your beuaty roaming on the streets of my village.... They are moggies as far as I know, hovewer stunning they are....

He looks like a very handsome Domestic Shorthair to me

From the picture I would call him a Domestic Shorthair, white in colour. The vast majority of household pets fall under this classification. He is not an American Shorthair or British Shorthair - those are specific breeds with very distinct body and head shape. The insurance company will be quite happy with that - it is what is on all my cats' papers.

Thanks for the response! I agree with the domestic bit, but it isnt even an option on the list [emoji]128529[/emoji]

She is a Domestic Shorthair.

You know what, actully she might be an American Shorthair!

That was odd.  What do they propose instead?  All cant be purebred.   Or they perhaps seldom meets owners of domestics whom wants to pay insurances.????
