Domestic, tabby and white tuxedo. The tail aint bushy, but I think he will be mediumhair anyway, I think its not just kitten fuzziness. But we will see in a couple of months more.
He seems pretty young, at most 6 weeks no?
Verry sweet!

Thank you very much! And yes she is only 6 weeks. But what I don't understand is that Domestic is not a breed, is it? Or maybe she is not any kind of purebred？
Welcome to TCS. She is a darling kitty. Domestic is a classification to include a wide range of kitties, that are not pure breeds. You will love this site for all the wonderful people,and great advice.

Thank you! I was just wondering the term of " domestic cat". Now I get it, and I don't really care about if she has a breed or
not. She is just like my kid now lol.
Its just a couple of procents of all cats whom do belong to a breed. Are purebred or very recent mix.
All the others, the great majority, are called for domestic. Or moggie as some says.
But its a popular pastime to guess, if ones domestic is a look alike to some known breed. It is this we are pretty good doing on this forum.
OK, sometimes the look alikeness is good. How to know if its a look alike, and when its a purebred for real?
The answer is really easy. They need paperwork from a recognized association ie pedigree certificate. Or at least, a solid and reliable background story.
Without papers, its essentially a domestic, even if its supposed purebred and sold from a breeder... It may be so harsh as that.
