I was hoping someone could take a look at this kitty for me..

I made an album also including his two siblings and his mom/dad ++


Does he seem typically British Shorthair? I'm not super familiar with it, but his mouth/muzzle(?) looks a little bit strange? As does the mothers? Do you think he would grow up to look like his father?

Would really appreciate your expertise!

Im no british expert so I wont predict their future looks.  Momma doesnt seems very typical BS, on the other  hand, her face could be a model for the renown Cheshire cat from Alice in the Wonderland, with just the face visible and slowly disappearing.  Esp on that pic with the kittens.   And the model of Cheshire cat must have been a British, for whom else could it be?    All british arent typical modern show qualtity, so there is some natural variation build in.

She seems to be a ticked tabby, the babies ash colored and one red colored ticked tabby.  Essentially the both colors of the abyssynians...  My guess she has some aby mix in her.  Her granddad perhaps?  Ticked tabby its dominant, so this trait will wander down the lineage.   And this adds she isnt that typical.

So you have two partly different guesses here... :)

Hmm interesting.

Both the parents are pedigree British Shorthair though, with their lineage pure Brits going back several generations (have seen the certificates). But yea she just doesn't seem very "typical".
