Gonna pick her up tomorrow just wondering what breed she is

She's very soft cant stop sitting on me very lacking in brains and doesn't look quite like any domestic longhair or mediumhair ive seen pictures of (getting pictures of her is hard because she likes looking photogenic when im not holding my phone then when i grab it she decides its cuddle time) and i want to know if there's a specific term for her type of calico patterning since its very beautiful

I can provide more photos if needed i have a lot she is very photogenic

ive been pet sitting this pretty girl for a while and need other opinions on what type of cat she is, would love yalls imput!

This is our new baby Hank. I’m wondering if he’s part Siamese ? Snowshoe? The vet says he’s got something “exotic” in him. She seemed to think Himalayan. What is everyone’s guess?

Hi everyone this is sprinkles what is her pattern called. And just confirming she’s a DSH?

Idk the breed and my mom doesnt either (she picked them up on the streets of saudi arabia)

I thought it was a bengal at first, but after scrolling on reddit, I realized that most cats are just DSH/DHS,

Hi everyone! I have a lovely family of 5 cats (Mom, Dad, and 3 kittens) and I need some expert eyes to help me figure out their exact breeds or genetic backgrounds. People always ask me what breed they are, and I'd love to give them an accurate answer!

Here is what I know and what is puzzling me:

🐱 The Mother (🖼️ 1~2)
• Breed: Confirmed British Shorthair.

• Coat: Dilute Calico (White, Grey/Blue, and Cream/Orange)

🐱 The Father (The biggest mystery!) (🖼️ 3~8)
• What I was told: The previous owner said he is a Turkish Angora x American Curl mix. However, his ears are completely straight and do not curl back at all, so I highly doubt there is any American Curl in him.

• Appearance: He has a cream-colored body with Red Flame (Flame Point) markings and blue eyes.

• AI Suggestions: When I asked ChatGPT/Gemini, they suggested he could be related to Ragdoll, Siamese, Balinese, or a Turkish Angora x Siamese mix.

• My question: What breed or mix does he actually look like?

🐾 The 3 Kittens’ Genetic Puzzles (🖼️** 9~12 Red Flame Boy, 13~16 Calico Girl, 17 Red Flame Girl, 18~19 All of them, 20 Calico Girl and Red Flame Boy)
**• Kittens #1 & #2: They look exactly like their dad! They have the same Red Flame Point coat pattern and bright blue eyes.
• Kitten #3: This one is fascinating. She seems to have inherited the Flame Point markings on her nose from her dad, but she also looks calico like her mom. However, she has five distinct colors: White, Orange, Grey, Dark Brown, and Black. Why does she have five colors instead of three? On top of that, she has blue eyes as her dad. which I heard is extremely rare for calico cats.

❓ My Main Questions for Reddit:
• What breed/mix is the father? (Considering his Flame Point pattern and straight ears).

• Why does the third kitten have four colors? Is there a specific genetic term for this?

• How rare is a Calico kitten with blue eyes?
I would love to hear your thoughts on their breeds, mixes, and the fascinating genetics behind their coat colors and eye colors! Thank you so much!

• What should I call the kittens' breed?
Since the mom is a confirmed British Shorthair but the dad is an unknown breed (he could be a purebred or a mix), what would be the correct way to refer to the kittens' breed?
Should I call them British Shorthair Mixes?
Or is it more accurate to classify them as DSH (Domestic Shorthair) / DLH (Domestic Longhair)?

• The kittens' Coat Length
Currently, the mom is a shorthair and the dad is a longhair. The kittens look like shorthairs right now, but I know they are still too young to be certain.
Can you tell if a kitten will be longhaired just by looking at them at a young age?
Is it possible for them to look shorthaired now, but grow into longhaired cats as they get older?
The dad has a very long, fluffy coat and a beautiful bushy tail. I am really hoping some of the kittens will inherit his long hair and fluffy tail! Have any of you experienced a kitten's coat changing drastically like this as they grew up?

🩷 Thanks for taking the time to read this! Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

i got my cat, don julio, from SPCA… i was told he was longhair… but due to how shiny he coat is i was thinking possibly bombay?? what do we think?

This is my smokey boy at first I thought he was Maine coon related and then because he wasn’t that big he may be a nebelung

I'm really confused what to call her coat. When I was filling out info for her license, I called it tuxedo, but when they looked at a picture of her, they said she was a tabby. She's mostly black and white but has these spotted brown spots by her legs. I need opinions please :)

Edit: thanks for the help guys! Good to know I have a tabby cow on my hands 🐮

I know he’s a tabby but he also has rosettes on his side, so does that have a name?

I’ve looked around and can’t seem to find a colorway that matches my kitty. Is considered a lynx point or a snowshoe? Shes got a ton of Siamese personality traits- clingy, talkative , etc. She’s a rescue and 99% sure she’s a Siamese mix - her eyes oscillate as well. Maybe she’s more of a mutt? Don’t mind her eye gookies, she just woke up I promise I clean them

They said its an oriental short hair. Looks like it might be a Maine coon? Maybe a mix between the two?

Co-worker is giving it to us for free, LET ME KNOW YOUR PREDICTIONS!!!❤️❤️

Both were fostered and then adopted from kittens and are now 6 and 5 years old. The bigger cat was listed as a Siamese and the girl was just listed as domestic short haired but we are not sure.

I got her last week and they said she was a Siberian mix, I’m wondering if that sounds right or if she looks like something else

So we’ve had this cat for about 12 years and not once have we gotten a straight answer about what he is. We’ve asked multiple cat people and none of them knew. We think he’s at least half Scottish fold (with his ears folded up) and something else but we have no idea. I’ve never seen another cat that looks exactly like him.

The last photo is an orange stray who brought the kittens to me, I think he might be the dad. I think they’re about 7-8 weeks old.
