Hiya
This is Oscar and was born October 2012.
We were told he was half persian?
I have a feeling he may be half Siamese?
I do wish to find out what breed he is please?
Thanks!

Crystal, why did they thought Oscar is half persian??
Anyway, withouth any safe proofs nor even good indicies, nor any definite looks, we cant know what breed he is, and definitely not what mix he is.
But we can speculate what a little look alike he is, if you arent happy with his being Domestic Short Hair, or Moggie as they also commonly say.
He is perhaps a little look alike an European Shorthair, especielly as you arent no american, you do live in Europe.
Anyway, he is pretty. If he has a good psyche, you should and try to let him participate in Cats Shows, in the Pet class.
Good luck!

Hi Bella!
Let me think, such are the longhaired pointed "masqued" breeds, to perhaps compare her with:
Holy Birma.
Neva Masquerade (which are essentially masqued Siberians)
Ragdoll
Himalayan (which are essentially masqued Persians, although their noses arent quite so short-peked as in the modern Persian)
--- Perhaps some more.
One of the problems, is, being nicely pointed dont proves any real breed. The point gene is recessive, and is not seen in a carrier. But if two point genes meets in a kitten - voilá - we get the overall look of a pointed cat.
So for example, now and then, in a russian blue litter, there is born such a "siamese old type"!
The same story is also with long haired.
So the parent could be virtually any looks, most propably moggies.

Lovely cat but nothing like a longhair Siamese. Wrong shape, wrong coat, the only thing she has in common is the colourpoint markings, which are found in many other breeds.
She's a seal-point domestic longhair - can't see any white.

Hi LittleWish! Yes, the patter is called Tuxedo, or Bicolor. It is quite common. The "breed" is surely the most common of them all, domestic, or moggie. Domestic Short Hair.
Nay, you dont need to bathe her if she isnt heavily soiled by for example, grease or car oils.
I DONT recommed to you to do it.
Unless you want to adopt her as your inside kitty, and that bath is the symbolical, ritualised entrance into being your home cats. Yes, in this case, you will have my blessing for both adoption and this, otherwise, unnecessary bath.
So, for this moment she is your outside kitty. Is she spayed?? If not, please do it ASAP!
Welcome to our Forums!
Good luck!
If you want to answer to this my post, please write it in the Feral Rescue Forum, I will see it there.
Im not asking a mod to move this your post in there yet, so you dont think the post just disappeared.

Regarding bathing cats:
Usually not necessary; if the cat stinks or has gotten into something poisonous, it may be. Show cats are bathed and so are cats owned by people with allergies. Some cats regularly get dirty or don't lick themselves clean and they may need to be bathed. There are also wipes made for cleaning cats, which aren't as unpleasant to the cat as a water bath.
Better idea would be to get one of those spot flea treatments from your vet, the kind that you put on her skin between her shoulder blades. That will help with parasites she is sure to pick up outside. Fleas are likely to survive baths, actually, so the flea treatment is probably your best bet.

Since she is a stray, dont try to give her a bath just yet. Even though she acts really nice around you, you dont really know where she has been. The best thing you can do for her, is to try to get her into a crate and take her to the vet! She needs to get fixed, if she isnt already and get her shots so that you and her are protected. After that, maybe let her live with you if your home allows cats. Gain her trust, get to know her as a cat. And honestly, if she was a kitten I would say train her to take baths (I have a cat litter allergy and for my sake my kitty has to take a bath from time to time), but she is an adult and she may hurt you as you get her into water. BUT you can get waterless bathing wipes at any pet store and just run one over her fur from time to time. Its not as good, but its better than her hurting you.
I have been having a tough time figuring out what breed my girl is
her mother was a barn cat so she is a moggie
and she was abandoned at a young age so they don't even know what the mother looks like
and her fur color has constantly changed through the months I've had her
and so far I think she looks like a sepia ragdoll mix or a tortie mix of some sort what do you think?

Thats what I thought too I wanted her to be a ragdoll but truthfully I don't care, she's so weird and unique in many ways
and thank you I've personally never seen a dark brown cat like her

What made you think of a Ragdoll? If that's her in the last pic, she's a domestic longhair, colour is tortie (with white, if the paws are white and not red, my monitor makes them look red though). Looks like she had a fever coat while growing up, hence the colour changes.
With torties the red colours also develop as they grow which can give the appearance of the coat changing colour. Also her fur growing longer can cause apparent change.
Nice cat, very sweet piccie of the two of them.

Oh it's cause i've never seen a brown long haired cat like that other than ragdoll's or the birman breed
and yes her paws are a cream color more orange though

Lovely kitty. She looks a lot like mine, although mine has black paw pads and black whiskers.
But same overall type of coat.

Thank you! Mine has those ear tufts too! You just can't see it in that photo

Pretty sure he's some sort of shorthair mix, but does it look like he was neutered late? The shelter had no information on the cat except that it was brought in by someone and was maybe 6 months old already neutered. His head and nose are quite large compared to our other cats
