Hi everyone! This is Luna, she came to me about 2 weeks ago & shes about 7 months old. I rescued her from a pretty bad environment so ive been slowly getting to know her over the past couple weeks personality wise but also health & genetics wise. From my understanding shes a blue tortie? But ive been very confused because ive also seen her get called a blue smoke?? And i have noo clue what that means or if she even is that. Ive only ever owned your regular domestic tabby babies and shes the first cat ive gotten the pleasure of meeting of this kind. Ive also only ever seen black & orange torties in real life before as well as my family, so weve all been super fascinated by her colours.
Shes got such a beautiful personality & shes so playful and incredibly vocal, but she rarely meows. She chrips while she plays or stares at birds through the window and thats been very new to me too. My other cat does very quiet chirps at pidegons but shes LOUD loud. Youd think its my first time owning a Maine coon but I had one before her too and she was never like this as a kitten haha. Since shes a rescue, im eventually planning on doing a full genetics test on her because Im trying to be cautious (my previous maine coon passed suddenly with no warning at the age of 5) and see if there’s anything if I should take note of and to just see how pure of a maine coon she is really!

(please ignore my crusty ass carpet i promise i clean my apartment regularly)

Hi! I have two kittens from the same litter (born Feb 27). One is a tuxedo male with very obvious male anatomy. The other is an all-black kitten — a vet told us this one is also male but the anatomy looks very different from the littermate, behavior is calmer/gentler, and I’m not convinced. Attaching the clearest photo I have. Can anyone help confirm the sex? Thank you! https://imgur.com/a/mxskm9Y

I adopted this little guy from a shelter in Montenegro 🩶 Formally he’s just a domestic shorthair, but I can’t help seeing some oriental/Siamese-type features in him.

When I google European Shorthairs, even though they obviously come in many phenotypes, they often seem to have broader, slightly rounder faces. My cat’s face is very narrow and pointed, with relatively big ears, slightly almond-shaped eyes, and a very long, elegant, slim body. His fur is also extremely short, fine, and silky-soft.

I know most rescue cats, unlike dogs, are just mixes of everything to the point where it’s impossible to distinguish a particular breed, but I’m curious what you all think his look resembles most?

Hi y’all, my sisters’ cat (female) seem to enjoy A LOT to sleep, and it has me worried bc she doesn’t do mostly anything else. She told me they went to the vet and dr said urmi was doing just fine.

Could you please help me identify its breed so i can get to know Urmi better. Thank you in advance.

This is my last rescue kitten and his coat screams "Bangle" somewhere to me! Check out the spots on his tummy and his golden swirls! He also could pass for a parrot 😹😹

Does anybody have a clue on what my new kitten breed is ?

Hi all! I took in this boy almost a week ago. I was confident that he’s just lost and not a lifelong stray because of how affectionate and vocal he is (so affectionate that I woke up with him purring on my chest the morning after I brought him home), and have been trying to find his owners.

Someone commented on one of my posts saying that he looks like a purebred Siamese, so I did some digging and found that the breed is typically very vocal and affectionate. I’m very curious about it now, because I just assumed he was a domestic shorthair with Siamese coloring. His meow is a little bit lower pitched than my domestic longhair as well.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Anyone have experience with byb dwarf cats? I don’t know enough about them to offer ideas but of course comments are insisting everything is fine

Think he's part Maine coon

I know she's just a domestic cat, I was just wondering is she silver tabby, and do y'all think her fur is gonna be fluffy when she grows up. I'm getting her in Friday

Not a very good picture but I’m just curious

Picked him up off the side of the road last night, poor baby had to have been dumped! He’s veeeeeery sweet and cuddly, and so soft! He’s definitely not a shorthair, he’s got ear tufts and big fluffy paws, what’s y’all’s guesses?

This guys does not leave me alone and shouts at me to pet him.

I am really wondering what breed is she. Can anyone identify it? Thank you
