What Breed is My Cat

[hipmamaof3]

What about this kitten? I know it's a mixed stray, but I'm curious what kind of breed it coyld have mixed in there.

I have an akc registered pure yellow Lab, and I'd like to know (or guess) what could be lurking in my rescued straykittie's dna.

This is Darwin. Could she be siberian. Her face doesn't fit with other longhair breeds.

To guess from a young kitten is much more difficult than to guess from an adult, or at least, almost adult.

With purebreds its easier: you KNOW what they shall be when adult.  At least, you know what papers they have.

With moggies, you usually dont know before they are a bit older.

Do you have a couple of more pictures for me? Preferred one where she's standing from the side (full body picture), a picture from the front (so her head), and a profile picture (side of her face where we can see how her nose flows into her forehead). I can look for you whether she resembles a Siberian or not.

I can take some pics tomorrow. We pick her up from her rescue home tomorrow

Oh, you must be so excited! Enjoy tomorrow, hopefully she'll settle and feel at home soon ^^ And take your time, if tomorrow doesn't work out with the pictures, just try again later. I'll still be here for many more weeks, so no need to rush

These are the best I can do right now. She doesn't sit still. Now I have her home, i see she has way more reddish spots then I thought. And some slight grey tabby stripes in certain lights. Is this like a calico?

She's super sweet. A bit prissy. Playful.

So my kitty is growing. And her blue grey color has faded andthese brownish orange stripes are more pronounced. The vet said "she's not quite a true calico".

She is a blue-cream (dilute) tortoiseshell and white.
What a doll!!

She is adorable! So fluffy! I love the pix, thanks for posting

Oh I just read up and yes that describes her. Maybe a little too much white? Her chin and most of her stomack is white. Plus she has white mittens. But most of her markings are a fawn brown orange. Not a true tabby orange. Like you see in calico.
I read that they are considered good luck. I'll take it..

She doesn't have enough white for "calico" but at the same time, a calico is just another term for a tortoiseshell and white with more white and bigger patches of color vs blended colors.

Hee "orange" is fawn colored (cream) because she has the dilute gene. It's also why her "black" is grey (blue) instead.

I've been reading and yep. She's a torbie.

The orange will probably become more prominent as she ages, at least that is what I experienced with my dilute torbies. Your kitty is cute!
