What is my cat crossed with????

lulu2604 · Jan 2, 2006

I was just wondering if you guys could tell what my cat is crossed with.
Her mum is a siamese but they don't know who the father is?

Since you know her mother is a siamese, then she's just 1/2 siamese mixed.

Father is probably a just a mixed stray tom. If people ask you what she is, just tell them "she's 1/2 siamese" and leave it to that.

I know on some of the household pet "parents" people would write
Sire: Traveling salesman
Dam: Siamese (or whatever the mom's name was)

the best one i have seen was for a puppy:

mother: cocker spaniel
father: sneaky neighbours dog

the dad is most probably a domestic short hair tom as those are the most commonly un-neutered cats roaming around. perhaps he was black too?

we can't tell you what your cat was crossed with. You have a DSH cat and that's all we know without a pedigree

Whats a DSH cat? What do you mean?

To get into the pics, go into 'My Pets' and then 'Saffy'

Ok thanks.

I've just realised that i have put this thread i nthe wrong section. It was suppose to go into the Breeders corner

I thought Cindy and Lucy were exotic Mau mixes after we picked them up from the shelter, but in truth, they are a mixture of probably different mixed breeds. But, bengalbabe, our Lucy as an adult does have that narrow wedge shaped head with large ears like your pic of a bengal cat, including some of the markings. Lucy has long black ear tips, a trait of Maine Coon's, but she's a very affectionate lap cat who likes to just plop down on your lap whenever she gets a chance, which doesn't seem to fit any of these breeds. Mooie, our rescue cat (a neutered male), who belonged to somebody out there, is a large, magnificent looking cat, and he looks just like some pics of bred Norwegian forest cats. He could, however, be part Maine Coon, instead.

My guess is that Moo is a mixture of Norwegian forest cat, DSH, and yet another magnificent moggie. What's interesting is how dark torties look so similar, like our Punkin (Punky).

Bengals are not supposed to have large ears, they are supposed to be small with rounded tips. It's hard to tell ear size from a pic, many pics make ears look bigger then they actually are. My marble bengal does have ears that are a bit too large for her breed however I wouldn't classify them as 'large'.

caterpillar · Jan 4, 2006

Oh, I didn't know that about begals having small ears. I don't know, it's just something about Lucy's body posture or face that reminds me of some bengal photos, like Lucy in this pic.

We are really trying to breed bengals to get away from the domestic face as much as possible although were quite a ways away from that still.

bengalbabe · Jan 4, 2006

here's closer to what a bengal profile should look like:
profile should be straight or only slightly curved

large, round eyes but not 'buggy"

prominant wisker pads

small, ears, rounded at the tip

again, small rounded ears, dark black eyeliner around the eyes, white "goggles around the eyes.

bengalbabe · Jan 4, 2006

just a note that i've noticed these cats usually have to grow into their ears. Harley is still growing into his, his were huge when he was little.

opilot · Jan 5, 2006

You;ve got "one of those black cats" LOL. These cats
rock. Pt. Siamese w/ black DSH mixed in. Awesome
personalities. She'll have a lovely tail and will grow
into the ears, but they will always be big. Wedge head
too...

Enjoy her! Dam = Siamese Sire = no good tramp

wellingtoncats · Jan 7, 2006

WOW! You can totally tell her Mums a siamese - HOLY CATS!

Beautiful cat!

abbycats · Jan 7, 2006

This is my 2 1/2 year old named Dion Damooch
