What Breed is My Cat

Blue point, semi-longhair (ie mediumhair). You can prob compare him with an ragdoll. But what he really is, we cant know for sure. He may even have two non pointed parents.

Thanks for the info
This is a picture of her mother and litter but the previous owner didn't know about the father.

Could you please try again with the photo, so its not quoted? It will be easier to get it bigger. I see already now at least half of the kittens are points, so I presume momma is non point but a carrier of the point gene, but father was a point. Such combination gives this ratio, half of kittens points, half not.

Ok, I see better now. Momma is a beautiful tortie (possibly calico, the spots are clear enough to call her for a calico if you wish).
One kitten -surely female, is a tortie, three are dark points - these may be boys, and may be girls. So daddy was surely a point, momma is a non point carrier.
The statistics arent ironclad, theoretically it should be 2+2, here they are 3+1.
Im not entirely sure on the fur lengh. The tails I can see arent bushy. So it may be just kitten fuzziness. But if some tail is bushy, it belongs to a mediumhaired. (medium-haired is really a long hair gene - the hereditary the same as for points - the gene must come from both parents, but they themselves dont need to be longhaired).
