TCS user Scarlettleia has a Domestic Shorthair, Elizabeth, who has lynx tips: ^D58236FBE44E4278021A327BF9B89445A8F1F59E136C6CDC3 | The Cat Site, it is quite a striking look isn't it? Lynx tips are quite rare on shorthair cats. I wonder if your kitten's coat will get longer, at which point we might consider some Maine Coon influence. Does she have toe tufts as well? When you said that her look has completely changed, was she born with a fever coat? THE INDEFINABLE KITTEN COLOURS It is quite exciting to see kittens grow and develop, so I certainly hope to see more pictures of her, especially as her head/body shape get more developed, I'll be able to make a more accurate breed heritage evaluation. She is almost certainly a blue Domestic Shorthair, though.

I feel like her fur stars growing, I mean there may be a chance to be long hair! She was the only gray kitten.. Her other siblings was black. I adopted her, so I didn't see if her siblings also changed or not . But I have a pics of them..

Amazon Echo's Alexa got nothin on her. You need to find out how she reports back to NSA. It could be that her microchip is using your Wi-Fi to phone home. If she seems wired at times, it could be a side effect from the chip's internal lithium battery. If you notice any interruptions in your internet, digital TV or other home electronics, her chip is probably transmitting direct to NSA using microwave. :lolup:

My Indy has those tufts as well. I think they are so neat.

If you want to know a breed lookalike, she looks somewhat like a British Shorthair, as she seems to have a fairly wide face. However, only 5% of cats in the US are pedigrees, so most cats are DSH/DMH/DLH, having mixed parents for generations. Domestic Shorthairs have personalities and looks as unique as their heritage, so there is no such thing as "just a Domestic Shorthair". :bluepaw:

If I were to guess a possible pedigreed cat in her heritage, I suppose British Shorthair would be a possibility, as she seems to have a wide face, but as I said before, DSH cats have been mixed for generations, so it's hard to be completely sure, without a DNA test.

Very pretty little kitten.

I think the more she matures the more accurately she could be identified.
