What kind of cat mix could she be?

[shiaena]

I've tried to look at different cat breeds, but the regular american shorthair cats have shorter ears and legs. Shes a hunter, with long slender legs, super strong tail (literally feels like a leg hits you), and pointy ears. The family who gave her to us (at 8 weeks) never told us what the mom cat and dad cat were, just that the dad was a feral, fluffy cat while the mom was smooth and slender.

Seems to be a domestic short hair - domestics are all sorts!  she is of course a tabby in pattern.  Exact what variation of pattern we must have a good photo from aside.

Long hair is recessive, so its not enough daddy was longhair  (he may have been a Maine Coon look alike - as is common in USA).

Best side-shot I can get is when she's lying down

, she's only about 6 months old (reaching her 7th month), and everybody keeps saying she's growing quite big. Which is why I wanted to know if she could possibly be mixed with a certain breed, though I can tell that it'd be a toughy. My mom's also thinking she could be part Bengal or Savannah but I'm not so sure about that

.

Before one of my cats, Orbit, was neutered and fully grown, he was very slender and had/has a very strong, long tail and very long legs. He is 17 lbs and just a domestic shorthair with the mackeral tabby pattern. I think your baby is the same thing. You have to keep in mind that even if she is a common cat, she can still be built uniquely to other common cats. She is just as unique as a purebred or a cat that has one parent who is a purebred. She is lovely nonetheless and I'm sure she is a great companion ^^

I recently cleared the photos off my phone, so I don't have a good one of Orbit, but he is the big grey tabby.

And this is Joy. She is also a tabby with the mackeral pattern, she just lacks the white Orbit has. As you can see, both are domestic shorthair tabbies, yet they look completely different in size and shape! :3

Thanks for sharing pictures! Your cats are gorgeous! I'm not sure how big my kitty Espa will grow, but I know she'll be a big, cuddly cat one day (she's already becoming quite lazy

). I'll be sure to tell my mom she's just a normal domestic shorthair but still unique in her own way!

No worries! And remember I could be wrong, just going off of her pictures makes me think she is a DSH. You're very welcome though, and thank you
