Just looking for a few ideas on what breed my cat could be. She's a couple months old, very friendly, gets along with other pets, vocal and purrs a lot when given attention. Golden eyes. Long tail. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

What is her exact coloration,  would you like to describe?  More good pics are welcome - I know, dark cats arent easy to get good photos from.

Anyways, she seems to be very lean in the body.

She's dark grey, lighter in the roots and under her paws. Her nose is also dark grey but a light grey around it. Here are a few more pics of her:

I asked because I wanted to be sure if she perhaps was a point of the burmese type.  But it appears not.  (they arent very common esp not on longhairs).

Ok, what form to try to bend her into?   Perhaps the  Turkish Angora.  They are elegant and rather sleek.  And nowadays they are allowed in most colors, not only white.

Just looked at some pics of the Turkish angora. She does have the sleek texture, but compared to the kittens, she had a lot more hair, she looked like a grey pompom (refer to first picture). Does that make much of a difference? Thanks for the quick responses, I appreciate it!

Turkish Angoras are a rare breed in the US, but your kitty does have some resemblance to one! Turkish Angoras lack an undercoat, which is why your kitty seems to have more fur. It could be that a whole male Turkish Angora escaped and bred with a feral female. The kittens could have inherited the undercoat from her.
