What kind of kitten do you think she is? She has some grey and tan coloring, with some black markings and spots on her underside. She is also bobtailed and has black tips on her ears.

Could we get a good pic showing the side of the body - and also, the tail (or lack of the tail).

What country do you live in?

Your kitty is a Domestic short hair with a bobbed tail. The color from the limited pictures looks like a Brown Mc Tabby & white...

The bobed tail gene exists from several sources going back many many generations. The Manx or bobbed tail gene is dominet and if 1 parents has a bobbed tail 50% of the litter will be bobbed tailed. Now if two bobbed tailed cats breed together the risk of hearth defects is great... There becomes an issue with the cats spine, the cats ability to poop or inability to control their poop... Come of the heart breaking issues that come along with the Manx or bobbed tail gene...

I had a cat like her and she was Manx. Not all Manx are tailess. Quite a few have just a stub tale
