Last Dec. me and my daughter put money together and we bought this cat that was offered on CL as SnoShoe Siamese 2 mos. old. However now we are not sure if she really is because she don't look like a snoshoe at all. No inverted v on the face, nothing that would tell us that she is. We took her to  the Vet few times and last time we were there we asked the assistant if what she thinks of our cat. She said he look like a Ragdoll. We love her but she has an attitude that both me and my  daughter don't understand. She bites, she  acts like she wants to attack you , like a warrior (lol) We bought her a tower and she really  love it. She likes to  play in the morning and when I get home from work she loves to  play too. She check her litterbox for cleanliness, she refused to go  if there is somethin  in the box, I always make sure I  scoop what's left that the Littermaid  unit miss.

My daughter is thinking of rehoming her because she loves a cat that she can hold, but I  will cry  if she goes. 

My question is who can tell us what breed is she? The breeder that sold her are not license breeder.

HELP!!!!!

First, she is beautiful regardless of breed. I bet she's going to be stunning when she grows up!  She does appear to be some kind of seal point long hair mix but I would not be able to say what her mixture is for sure.  Maybe part Snowshoe - but her paws are not completely white. Maybe Ragdoll.  Kittens can change dramatically in color as they get older too.  I've seen many mostly white kittens with backgrounds of those breeds mentioned that wind up with much darker coats as adults.  Even those blue eyes may wind up being another color but with the point coloring I'd think they would stay on the blue side.

Second, buying a cat off CL is guaranteed 2 things. One, it will not be what the buyer says it is. No reputable breeder would put their kittens for sale on that site. I hope you didn't pay too much for her but if you did, again, no matter because you got her because you loved her.  The other is that they send them to new homes too soon which can result in improper social skills. They learn how to behave from their mom and siblings when young and if pulled too fast, won't learn such lessons.

As for behavior - please remember she is very young.  Cats will mellow out as they age and also once spayed or neutered.  She's just being a kitten now - and crazy wild behavior is part of being a cat baby!  Find some toys that you can get her to chase and attack. Never use your hands to play directly with her. It is a game for her, but can result in bad scratches or bites.  And it's very important to play with her to release all that kitten energy.  Make sure you have appropriate scratching surfaces for her too.  Try various shapes until you find the kind she prefers; some cats like to stretch upward to scratch and other prefer a sort of crouched, low to the ground surface.  

Make sure to keep her litter box clean to help avoid accidents (you seem to be on top of this already!).  Provide clean water every day, and make sure she has enough to eat as kittens need more than one would think.
