What is she?

When I adopted Fancy, the people who turned her into the shelter wrote "calico" on her paperwork. These are her Petfinder pics.



The only "brown" I found on her were a couple of off-white spots that faded after she was healthier and started grooming herself better. She was also underweight at 4.5 pounds.

Now 3 1/2 months later she is around 7 pounds and looking much better so hopefully we can get a better idea of what she might be.



She is very fluffy and gets a lot of static in her fur. Her legs seem to be shorter fur than her body but the fluff between her toes is pretty long and makes them harder to find and clip. Her face is more angular than my other cat.

She also has a kinked tail. The vet thinks it's congenital. The base is smooth but the rest is long.


She is VERY talkative.

I've been calling her a domestic medium hair. Does anyone have any other thoughts

I've never heard the term harlequin before. I thought "cow cat" lol. Harlequin sounds better.

I don’t think she is calico, no real red that I can see. She is beautiful I would say she is a dlh bicolor with the harlequin pattern too. Here are links on bicolor patterns.

Domestic long hair and the coloring is white/black. There isn't really such a thing as domestic medium hair. Just longhair cats that can have different lengths of fur. I have 3 and they are all different. Fynn has a long mane, but is shorter on the body and tail. Jethro has a shorter mane but longer on the belly, whispy tail, and very thick fur. Ceriah is pretty even in length, a small mane but has a very poofy tail.
