What breed is he?

I have heard he looks like a Russian blue mix and Just a plain domestic shorthair.
I think a DSH myself? What about you

Eww! He has serious eye goobers in that picture!

Bah, those aren't really bad eye goobers, just normal daily crusties. Most of my kitties get those every few days. Just wipe 'em off. It's when you have drainage, pus, or they eyes look red, or the cat is squinting that you have to worry.

As far as breed goes, if that cat came into our hospital we'd mark it down as a Bi-color domestic shorthair. BTW domestic shorthair isn't actually a breed, it's a catch all term for non pedigree cat with short hair.

Either way your kitty is cute!

DSH all the way! The true american cat. Russian Blues look very diff, although he has that nice grey color on him. Really, not many people are wanting to drop a few hundred dollars on the purchase of a kitten at minimum, especially when there are sooo many cute ones that are at shelters or on the street or in the newspaper for free. Not a huge amount of people have pure breeds like in dogs, and the chances of one of those kitties being breed to a DSH is not all that high I would not think. Usually there are the spay neuter agreements, or they are breed to another of it's breed. But I love the marking on your kitty, certainly easy on the eyes!
