I can see some rosettes in there! That indicates that Bengal ancestry is a possibility. Without papers, though, she'd be called a classic torbie and white Domestic Shorthair. She's very striking!

I agree its surely a fair recently bengal ancestry. A little funny spotted dominates over marbled but here we get both. May be a sloppy breeding.
Ps. I like these pics very much. Its visible they are taken skillfully and with love, and the cat is a loved one. And he loves his humans too.

Thomas Henry Your boy is a true beauty. Male torties / calicos arent common, but here we have one. He is a tabby too, so he is a calico and tabby. Caliby or patched tabby its called.
The green eyes are common in the three colored cats. Why I dont know, but many of them has green eyes.
The coloring of tabby is black silver, and the marble pattern isnt that common. Its no plain bulls eye... Yes, I think he MAY have some marble bengal in him, as he isnt no average cat.
Its thus possible the green eyes isnt no green of the calicos, but of the bengales.
Ps. This is a beautiful example we can sometimes find a true precious treasure in a heap of waste, whom somebody threw away and they were going to just dispose of...
It may be cats. It may be unwelcommed immigrants, as is common in Sweden...
I think there’s a good chance he has some Bengal in him- it looks like he has a random marbled pattern, which is something we don’t see in other cats with marbled tabby patterns, where their pattern is symmetrical.View attachment 211019 I adopted this stray. He is about three months now has spots on stomach, black pads and no white. Bengal genes?

There are two types of tabbies: the "mackerel" tabby, which is more commonly seen and always beautiful, and the "Classic" type, which is characterized by large swirls and a "bulls-eye" pattern on the sides. It looks as if your Tammy may well be a Classic tabby -- a very fine cat!View attachment 201888 View attachment 201889 I am a curious cat. My mom adopted me on the day the shelter was going to put me down. They clearly gave her the wrong paperwork for me. My name was Tammy, I was listed as a calico and was supposedly 3 years old.
Well, Mom knew I was a boy by the little thing on my backside and knew I was not a calico, even though I am multi colored. She fell in love with me instantly and had to convince Dad to let me come home with her, although he begrudgingly said yes, we are now best friends.
Vet confirmed I am a boy, not calico, but they say tabby and I was 1 to 1.5 back then, in 2014.
So, after seeing this sight and many beautiful photos, I am waindering if I am part Bengal? Can someone let me know your thoughts?
I am so talkative and jump like you wouldn’t believe. I have a white belly and back feet so Mom says no, but my marbling is what has her questioning. Here are a few photos in hopes you can see my markings.View attachment 201890View attachment 201891 View attachment 201893View attachment 201894
Tabbies often do have spots on their bellies, called "buttons" by some; but I have never seen a tabby with spots like your handsome boy! I am not an authority on breeds as I prefer "rescues", but he definitely looks as if he might have some "purebred" genes from one of the spotted breeds. Whatever the case, he is unique, very cute, and wonderful!Hi, I'm hoping you can help me out! I keep getting comments from people how my kitten is really big for a 6 months old cat He was 3.07 kgs (6.77 lbs) at his 6 month checkup. He is VERY long, extremely vocal (he makes the weirdest noises) usually for attention as he is unusually affectionate and very friendly (everybody who comes by strangers doesn't matter he will go for a sniff and stroke ). He loves high places (usually makes my heart stop when I see the places he climbs up on!). When we got him we didn't really see the parents and the family we bought him from didn't care much to chat or even check up on him after we took him in. So basically I'm just wondering if our little Odin might have some bengal ancestry in him or if he's just a big and strikingly beautiful boy who just LOVES to talk

These are all recent And then one more for the added cuteness (my all-time favourite picture of him ) - he was about 3-4 months in this one
