This is Angel Marie Milkshakes and yes she brings all the boys to the yard. She is a flame/red point so she shouldn't be deaf. She's 8 weeks old right now. Will she be long, medium or short hair? I've always wanted a fluffy white cat, although I will still adore her if she turns out to be short hair. My favorite colored cats are orange, and white. I love the color blue and I like fluffy things.

Time will tell.  When Lucy was a kitten, her hair was about as long as Milkshakes' (love her name btw).  Everyone, including the vet, believed she would be a longhair cat.  But as she aged, Lucy grew into her fur.  Now she's a beautiful shorthair.  Perhaps other members can offer some tips to aid in identification.  Regardless, Angel Marie Milkshakes is such a beautiful cat.

She looks very much like an Angora. I think she will be medium hair. They usually have longer hair around necks, rear and abdomen. In the summer they seem to lose a lot of the mane. She is beautiful!!

She could be anything. Reminds me of my female she had really long hair when I got her but as she gets older it is looking more medium hair. My guess would be medium hair but time will tell. She is beautiful!

She looks like she's a long haired kitty to me! And flame points are just gorgeous! You are a very lucky owner :)


cat's coats can and do change as they get older though. My cat Tesla went from being a long haired kitten to a medium/short haired teenage kitty with a very fluffy tail, to a super long haired adult.

And here's some pictures of him from a few days ago:

Lol yes! That actually wasn't planned/the reason why we named him Tesla (although he was indeed named after Nikola Tesla). I actually hadn't even put that together (about the moustache thing haha).

My dad is the one who found him, and at the time, my family was deciding on if we wanted to keep him. My dad's favorite scientist is Nikola Tesla, so we decided to name him Tesla to entice my dad to let him stay haha. Needless to say, it worked.
