What Breed is My Kitty?

[nordic_mom]

Well the thing with DSH is it isn't actually a breed. It is what your standard house cat is. There are multiple breeds in each and therefor they don't all look the same. The extra long legs is most likely just a trait of your of the many breeds that make your kitty.

I was hoping to find some definite breed in there somewhere that she has mixed in. She is so different from all the DSH's I have, and I have been searching online to find a breed that has long legs as a characteristic. Sometimes she almost looks siamese, as when she looks straight at you, her eyes kind of look crossed.

Thanks very much!

i AGREE she looks a lot like a tortie


Has she got long ears or long tail

[nordic_mom]

She has a relatively short tail as compared to her arms, prob about 8 inches or so. Her ears look normal.

Thanks!

Yes, domestic short or long hair is just a catch all term for non pedigree cat.

For coloring your cat is a TorBie.

quoted from website below. "Torbie is short for tortoiseshell-tabby. When you add tabby stripes a tortie becomes a torbie."

See this website for the names of different color patterns on cats. It has lots of great photographs as well.
