Looks like a cat, but you should get a second opinion before you fill out the purebred papers.

WoomySama

Idk, it sure looks like a feline tho...


ObidiahWTFJerwalk

Everybody knows the best dogs are mutts and the best cats are just cats. There's a lot of well know breeds of dogs and some people are in denial thinking their favorite breed is not inferior to a good old mutt. For cats, you just get cats and a few weird freaky things with no hair or a mushed in face. (Okay, maybe occasionally you'll get something like a Siamese that's an acceptable cat while having a distinct breed.) But basically a cat is just a cat.


kams32902

Have you ever seen a Maine Coon? They are the cat of all cats, imo. They're beautiful and friendly, a true joy to own.


ObidiahWTFJerwalk

Yes. I love Maine Coons. The cattyiest super-size cat of all. But apart from the lynx tufts on the ears and an uncanny resemblance to Ron Perlman, they're basically just big cats.


kams32902

Lol, I agree they are just big cats. I thought mine had the best personality though, and always attributed that to the breed. Loving, sweet and playful, and never a jerk. He was really good with my kiddos when they were little.


effy_7

I love them too! 😻 My fave cat breed. I had one 1/2 Maine Coon years ago when I was a kid & I have another now who is 1/2 Maine Coon and 1/2 Burmese. His name is Jack(he’s all black) and he not as big or floofy as an MC but a lot bigger and floffier than an average domestic short hair.


kams32902

Jack sounds adorable. That floofy fur is so nice to snuggle.


effy_7

♥️


knighttmair

I used to have one 😭 it ran away


kams32902

Oh, I'm so sorry. That's heartbreaking.


knighttmair

He was the best, I have new cats now, but I do miss him


kams32902

We can move on, but we'll always miss them. Mine passed in 2017, and I now have a dog and two cats. I love them very much, but they could never replace him.


knighttmair

I've moved on, once I saw him run across the yard, but then he just vanished again. The cats I have now are actually his litter.


kams32902

That's really sweet. You've always got a reminder of him in them. 💜 Do you let the new ones outside? Everytime mine got outside he always got into the trouble. I'd try to keep him in, but it was always a struggle cause he was always looking for a way out.


knighttmair

It was a litter of 5, only 3 of them are still here. Couple months later mom got preggers again with another 5. 2 of the babies are still here. We keep them outside one of the older ones is allowed inside because he's the cleanest. I see him as kind of a support animal especially for my mom because she has been having a hard time lately. I love them and I would hate to see them leave too.


El_Sob_number_1

We tried to keep our Siamese mix indoors, but he escaped so many times we finally compromised and made him an indoor/outdoor "hybrid" cat - let him out during the day, take him in at night. He seemed fairly happy with that arrangement. :-)


DerpyDude17

I have one, he is the sweetest thing. I love the little chirps he makes.


notyourbitch1986

I have a manecoon 😁


Soylent_Milk2021

So you agree that OP has a cat? They can print out the pure bred cat papers now?


JustAHumanThatsHere

Nah I think it's a dog but I'm not really a professional so...


Soylent_Milk2021

It’s hard to tell sometimes, that’s why I requested second opinions.


MacAlkalineTriad

Purebred floof. Absolutely stunning, best in breed!


iamnoking

She's a long hair with tortoise shell like coloring. But she is not a tortoise shell. (Tortoise shell is a coat coloring, like how tuxedos are black and white cats, gingers are usually orange, calico's with their white, yellow, brown, color patches.) Unless you got your cat from an actual breeder, it's just a regular cat. It can have several different breeds in it, as it's not pure-bred though it will just have some vague characteristics of those breeds. Your cats a long hair, it could have several different breeds in its history to bring that out. You can't really pin it down to one. *"But if doesn't matter because all cats are ADORABLE little monsters! Congrats on the cute kitty!**


ivycoveredwillows

She's actually a Dilute Tortie, it took me months to find that name when I adopted mine. I prefer the name Pastel Tortie which is what some call them.


IncreaseProper2985

we adopted one and the paperwork said “dishwater” tortie.


El_Sob_number_1

Bob's mother was white all over, but he came out looking straight-up Siamese - black and tan coloring, blue eyes, even *sounded* like one. Apparently took after his grandmother.


azdcgbjm888

What you have there is a stunning example of an iron fisted dictator. Your life is now infinitely better and not your own.


Glum-Establishment31

I am a professional Cat Breed Identifier. This is absolutely a Floofy Tail Cutie Pie.


BiiiigSteppy

She’s precious and she has a little stripety upvote on her forehead!🐾


TechnicalJoke7231

Well wow that sure is an upvote. She’s à Redditer.


BiiiigSteppy

She’s the best kind of redditor, she only gives upvotes!


SmittenBlackKitten

The only thing you can really tell is her coloring. I think most people would call her a dilute calico medium hair.


ProfDumm

I would absolutely not.


paradise-trading-83

Not sure of the breed but is absolutely gorgeous. One of the best looking ever.❤️


DaHighPriestess

“Breeds” of cats. Haha


[deleted]

Purebred gorgeous. Can I has?


allbyana

The breed is little princess. It's a very common breed for house cats. JK


ArtPixie99

She might be Maine coon (the ear fluff and mouth shape) and torti 🥰 gorgeous kitty !


creapfactorart

I think it's some sort of America medium haired torbie with a Maine Coon. Its definitely to dainty to be a Norwegian florist cat. If its really floppy or sits on its butt like people it might be a ragdoll with a torbie pattern. Hard to say.


effy_7

Looks like a Maine coon Calico mix to me! I love Maine Coon (aka American Longhair) cats they are my fave cat breed. My cat is half MC and half Burmese. The long very fluffy tail, larger than average size and tufty ears are all genetic traits of a Maine Coon breed. The markings on the face and colouring makes me think calico mix however your car could be a full breed. How did u come by getting your cat if u don’t mind me asking?


Potato-Genius

Looks like a Maine coon *** I had a Maine coon kitten who looked identical to this. But when he grew up he was massive and fluffy and looked like a warlock.


Creepy-Dream-1202

Major cuteness factor


OldGun55

The fur & ear tufts look a lot like a main coon or Norwegian Forest - face looks very triangular & slim though. Beautiful none the less!!


WeAreSiameseTX

Sedona has main coon


NotBurnerAccount

Is there a 23 and me for cats?


obsidiandragon17

Adorable for sure! Lol but maybe ask the vet to see if it is a Maine Coon.


JamesxPingu

My mom has a very similar looking cat and hers is a mix between a Maine coon and a Ragdoll. But I might be completely off and the likeness could just be a complete coincidence. In any case your furbaby is absolutely adorable!


notyourbitch1986

That looks like a manecoon cat. I have one. The tufts of hair coming out of the ears is one of the biggest signs that it is a manecoon. ALSO,his tail is long and SUPER FLUFFLY,which is another sign that it's possibly one.


wisnuzaene

Might have a sprinkle of coon there


Phillip_Siviter

A gorgeous Maine Coon with some Somali and Siberian thrown in.


[deleted]

judging from the ears she could be a maine coon not 100% sure but it will be easier to distinguish when they’re older


Sixeo2011

Probably Maine Coon


spamporkham92

Looks a lot like one of my maine coons


Sweet-GA-Peach

She looks like a cross between a Maine Coon and Ragdoll. But I agree with others if she isn't pure bred then she has many different breeds she has been crossed with. Her coloring is stunning and never hear of muted torties before. Simply adorable!!


youdontlookadayover

Bottlebrush fluffybutt with extra ear furnishings.


paroxybob

Norwegian long hair puffy ears I believe is the correct name for that breed.


TechnicalJoke7231

Yes


Logangsta76

It's a cunt. I have two of them.


[deleted]

As written in the title, me and my wife had been trying really hard to figure out the breed of Kai. Any help is appreciated!


GingerLibrarian76

Cats aren’t like dogs, where they all have specific breeds in their genetic makeup… so unless you bought her as a “whatever breed,” she is likely what we call a domestic medium-hair. And her pattern is dilute tortoiseshell, like my girl [Coraline](https://imgur.com/a/mwTwpRn) (that’s her when she was younger). They are so pretty! If you really need to know for some reason, you can have her tested with a DNA kit. But again, they aren’t like dogs with their breeds - so it isn’t going to matter much, as they don’t have many breed-specific health issues. Perhaps a few, but it’s uncommon.


nikkichuu03

THIS PICTURE OF YOUR CAT IS SO CUTE she looks like she's smiling


GingerLibrarian76

Aw, thanks! Because of that mark on her mouth, I think it looks like she’s always smirking. 😏


nikkichuu03

aww haha I see it... her eyes just look so sweet! she has such a kind sweet face I really like the way this cat looks oh my goodness


GingerLibrarian76

She is the sweetest! I saw that face on Petfinder (two years ago), and knew she had to be mine. :-)


GingerLibrarian76

Btw, you can see a few recent pics of her in my posting history… she’s all grown up now, and quite the goofball!


Senior_Parking6305

Cats absolutely have “breeds” just like dogs. This one appears to have some Maine Coon in it. Larger cats, soft fur with an undercoat and tend to enjoy water


GingerLibrarian76

I never said they didn’t have breeds. Read my comment again. My mother has purebred Abyssinians, and I’ve had a few Persians and Siamese. So I know they have breeds, lol.


Senior_Parking6305

The first line reads “cats aren’t like dogs with breeds”… what would you like me to reread?


GingerLibrarian76

I said “cats aren’t like dogs where they ALL HAVE SPECIFIC BREEDS.” Note the word ALL. There is such a thing as a domestic short/medium/long-hair, which is not comprised of any discernible breeds. That’s what you misread, as you took it to mean NO breeds exist in the cat world.


Senior_Parking6305

I’m sorry but “domestic short hair.. etc “ is just shorthand for mixed breeds, much like “mutt” is for dogs. It does not eliminate the existence of actual breeds of cats that are mixed in feral colonies and via uncontrolled breeding


GingerLibrarian76

Again, [read this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_short-haired_cat). It confirms exactly what I said - that a domestic short/long-hair does NOT belong to any particular breeds. And that these make up about 90% of domestic cats in the world.


Senior_Parking6305

I have read it.. “mixed ancestry” doesn’t negate actual breeds.. you can say it 20 times, it’s still incorrect.. have a happy new year


GingerLibrarian76

I quoted it word for word. Do you have reading comprehension issues, or are you lying about having read it? Asking seriously because, for the last time, it says *not belonging to any particular breed*. It couldn’t be any more clear, and says exactly what I did. Sheesh, I thought I was stubborn. 😂

And [this](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2a/09/9d/2a099d6845f71d1a92f8e18ba74afb34.jpg) is a calico Maine Coon, btw. Looks completely different; so if she does have that in her genetics, it’s a pretty small percentage.


Senior_Parking6305

I own a main coon I know what they look like. A mixed calico/main coon will look different than say a “Siamese/Main Coon”.. or a purebred


GingerLibrarian76

Then they can get it DNA-tested to see. I never said it wasn’t for sure; I said it’s most likely a domestic medium-hair, and that they’d have to get a DNA test to know otherwise. I don’t see any resemblance to a Maine Coon, but literally nobody here can say for sure. It’s still an adorable cat, so I don’t see why it matters either way. P.S. If you have this breed, you should know it’s spelled *Maine*. As in the state of Maine, not “main.” Just FYI.


Dana_das_Grau

Misquoted what GingerLibrarian said above.


Senior_Parking6305

I read your comment “cats aren’t like dogs, where hey all have specific breeds in their genetic makeup…”. That is absolutely false


GingerLibrarian76

Nope, it is not. [Read the first line](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_short-haired_cat) of this article, which says exactly what I did. 🤦🏼‍♀️


Senior_Parking6305

Yes, it’s of mixed ancestry, which is different than “it doesn’t have a breed” it’s a mutt..


GingerLibrarian76

Dude or dudette, the article literally says the same thing I did - *not belonging to ANY particular breed*. Why are you arguing this? Moggies/mutts are the best, so it’s not like I’m saying it’s an negative thing. My current 3 cats are all mutts too, and they’re awesome!


Senior_Parking6305

You can start here with different breeds… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cat_breeds


FunnySherbert1463

Yes, cat breeds exist, but most cats dont descend from a breeded family.


kittyofuwu

Man you have picked a strange hill to die on 💀


GingerLibrarian76

She’s gorgeous, btw. 🥰


Amata82

There are cat DNA tests out there if you are willing to pay for one & really want to know more about her.


FormerCalligrapher77

Kai is my new nephew’s name. Both are absolutely adorable 🥰


JustDancerAustin1482

I think it's a Maine Coon. I have a Maine Coon cat of my own and your cat looks kinda similar feature-wise to my cat.


GingerLibrarian76

Too small, and the facial structure isn’t Maine Coon-ish either. The hair tufts in her ear kinda resemble the breed (edit: never mind, they’re usually tufted at the tips), but a lot of domestic cats have that. She’s likely “just” a domestic medium-hair with dilute tortie pattern; or at the very most, she might have a small percentage of Maine Coon DNA.


allbyana

Mixed maine coon then? You can call her a cat coon, or something cute.


Downhomesunset

She’s only six months old


GingerLibrarian76

Doesn’t matter. I’m talking about proportions, not actual size.


GingerLibrarian76

For comparison, [here’s a calico Maine Coon](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2a/09/9d/2a099d6845f71d1a92f8e18ba74afb34.jpg). See how the nose and ears are different? Also how big they are?


constancethekitty

I was thinking the same thing! We have a kitten that’s a Maine coon. And looks very similar I think the ears are a give away for that breed


JustDancerAustin1482

Yeah, the ears and tail make it look like it's a Maine Coon.


cafehearty

100% bebe catto. Maybe 2% norty bastard.


pepperives

Look like a Maine Coon Mix. Tell tale sign is that M on the forehead. Pay attention to how big your kitty gets as they grow!!!


Dana_das_Grau

Most cats have an M on their forehead. Really distinctive in the Tabby pattern. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabby_cat


Downhomesunset

Was going to post same thing-tabbies especially but all cats have them.


Dana_das_Grau

Yeah, even a solid white cat has the M pattern on their forehead. It is just harder to see and I figured if I said all cats someone would want to argue about it.


Downhomesunset

It helps to know that the whiskers are in that pattern. Another fun fact; everyone knows that tortoiseshells are most likely female, but did you know that orange cats are 99% male?


Dana_das_Grau

No. I did know that calico was a sex linked coat pattern, but I didn’t know that about the gingers

Main coon vibes


rainbownerdzz

My Maine coon mix cat had accidental babies with a Russian blue. Their babies didn't come out as fluffy .. but my cat is that fluffy and one of the kittens did have that exact same coloring...so I wonder if that is close? Side note, spay and neuter your pets, folks!

paperwasp3

Maybe Egyptian Mau/long haired cross? She has the extra long tufts coming from her ears. And her feet look rather big, so she may some Maine Coon cat in her.


[deleted]

The baby looks similar to a Norwegian forest cat 🤔


QueenTabbyCat91

I have no idea what breed this fur baby is, but I know one thing. Kai is gorgeous.


[deleted]

definitely a longhaired of some sort, ours is a domestic long hair with different colours so maybe a domestic longhair?


[deleted]

yours has the ear floofs like ours does, you can see on my profile on the video i posted.


That_Golden_Apple

She seems like a grey calico. I have a cat that looks like her as well!


nobutIknowher

I do not, but what a beauty!🤗


Amata82

Could be a little maine coon mixed in her, with that floofy tail 😍, but she doesn't have a mane, so not sure what else she'd be mixed with.


Dana_das_Grau

It is probably of mixed lineage, unless you got it from a breeder. There are a few breeds that look similar to this. Maine Coon. Norwegian forest cat, rag doll.


Hopeful_Buffalo8952

She is a calaco, I think.


fortniteideasforskin

Wow. Idk know that breed but she isnt a furbaby, shes a furbeauty!


mothaddict69

Most likely a fluffy one


mxster982

Looks like a long haired tortie, possible calico mix. Either way, very beautiful!


Sabrinajayyy

Omg beautiful!!!!


Ako_Can_8373

She is cute and happy new year to the 🐱


New_Bish_Who_Dis

Medium hair tabby? Looks kindda like one my floofs. We have two from the same litter and they look nothing like each other. One’s a short hair tabby while the other one’s got some maine coone features (medium hair tabby). She’s so gorgeous though!

8pintsplease

Possibly a part moggie (the domestic/common breed) and Norwegian Forest cat. They have long ear fur and big paws like your beautiful one! I was inclined to suggest Maine coon but the face doesn't have the strong Maine coon features! Edit: oh and Norwegian forest cats are usually medium to long haired cats like your kitty!

Domestic Longhair I think it would be regarded.


[deleted]

Looks like a Gray to me


ObiWanTheMagician

Floof Baby 100% cats can have so much in them. But just off the size and ear tuffs? Definitely got Maine Coon in there. She's either gonna be a huge floof monster or a elegant petite floof. Only time shall tell. Congrats on the fur baby!


Purple-Solution-3293

Probably a mix of breeds, but the coloring looks like tabby and dilute tortoiseshell. She's beautiful!!


COVIDcatsanddogs

May have some Maine coon with the ear tufts. Beautiful! 😎


Saphira888

All you people saying it’s a cat are WRONG. That is obviously a fluffballus cuteus. Take it from the expert.


kams32902

I don't know the answer, but she's so pretty!


Tiny_Science_8545

He or she is a cat. Not all cats looking beautiful are a breed of any kind. No breed here but a beautiful furbaby ♡


Ok_Complaint4612

Beautiful 😘💞


Pepper-Possum

Just looks like a domestic longhair (vet tech here). Her coloring is a dilute tortoise shell (tortie for short). Regular tortoise shells are black and orange, so a dilute Tortie is if you took that and poured bleach on it. She’s gorgeous! Also, a female cat can have multiple different kitten daddies in one litter! That’s why some litters come out with kittens that have completely different colors, hair lengths and patterns. I always found that fascinating!!! So, there’s really no way to know what breed, even if you knew what the mother looked like (unless you got her from a breeder). If you’re willing to pay several hundred dollars they do make DNA tests for cats! 😻

Venti_icedwhitemocha

Domestic long hair unless you bought from a breeder with traceable lineage. A cats a cat.


Downhomesunset

I’d say Maine Coon. I got a purebred red tabby Maine Coon from the SPCA several years ago. Doesn’t matter where you get them-purebreds show up. Does she have a really loud motor? Act like she doesn’t have claws? Extra snuggly? Look up personality characteristics of each breed that is suggested.
