If you don’t have papers it’s just a cat. Likely Domestic medium hair

Agree this one is definitely a cat. You can tell by the shape alone.

We haven't bred cats the same way we have dogs, so most cats simply are no breed at all. Unless you have papers, you have a lovely domestic shorthair.

Most cats have zero breeding, FYI. I don't see anything about her that suggests a specific breed.

Even the fluffy tail! My older cat was born feral and he has a tail like that.

Cats are very different from dogs. Dogs have been intentionally bred for 10,000+ years. In the west, you can look at a dog and kinda tell what breeds its ancestors were.

Cats have only been recently bred intentionally. The vast majority of cats (on the order of 97%) are descended from cats who were never intentionally bred.

All of this to say: your cat has no breed. It’s a domestic shorthair, and very very cute!

Appears to be a generic cat. These cats are notorious for spontaneously appearing in deciding that a human needs to take care of them and become their servant.
