Hi Merro. Welcome to TCS! What a beautiful cat showed up at your home! Wonderful markings and looks like gorgeous gold eyes, set off by her dramatic eyeliner. She is like a movie star of cats!
Her coat pattern is Brown Mackerel Tabby and White. A "brown tabby" is really genetically a black tabby, because the base color is black and the darkest markings are black. But the lighter 'background' part of the tabby pattern often looks brownish, so they have traditionally been called "brown tabbies" But in some of them ( like this cat) the 'background' appears a cooler color, more grey.
It is interesting she apparently has a black nose? Tabbies usually have a reddish brown / pinkish brown nose, surrounded by the cat's base color -- in this case black ( or if the nose is in the middle of a white patch on the face, it's usually pink. ). but hers isn't piv
Most cats are not a specific breed or mix of breeds in the way most dogs are; Dogs are much more likely to have ancestors who have been selectively bred by humans. The vast majority of cats have bred randomly on their own over the centuries and their ancestors are mostly or entirely other random-bred cats from the same part of the world. These cats who aren't considered a particular breed or of unknown ancestry are often called Domestic Shorthair or Domestic Longhair.
But there's some differences in random-bred cats from different parts of the world.
Hmmm. she kind of reminds me of some cats from the Mediterranean region. but it 's subtle and may just be by chance.
