What breed is my cat

[mrbarryboy]

This is Larry. He’s is a very energetic, vocal, and loving boy. I though he was a lynx point Siamese but his legs are all white along with his belly and continues up to part of his face.
When he was a kitten he was almost completely white.

Now face looks like a snowshoe Siamese I noticed, but I think he is to light to be a snowshoe. He has the tabby markings (M) on his face. His tail is gray and ringed and matches his ears.He is a beauty but I don’t know what to call him!? Any suggestions his breed?

thanks!

hi there ! your cats are very pretty ... as to what breed they are , they look like tabbies

Larry is really something- I love the young and older photos of him, side by side. He has some Siamese in him somewhere, hence the color of those beautiful eyes.

He is a domestic shorthair, but your comparison with a siamese is good. You may call him in everyday speaking for a siamese mix.


He is a lynx point and white. The color Im not sure, possibly blue, but can be brown too... Being tabby he wont be as black as a seal (black point).
Lets say brown.
I dont see the exact tabby pattern. If he has no stripes spots rings visible on his sides or back, he is probably a ticked tabby.

So, brown ticked tabby and point, and some white. Or, ticked lynx point and white.

He is lovely! I would describe him as a blue lynx point and white domestic shorthair. I believe his color is blue lynx point, not seal lynx point, because it looks like his stripes are gray instead of brownish black. (This is clearest in the picture of his face.)

 

[mrbarryboy]

So colorpoint or lynxpoint do you think? He’s a mystery for sure.

 

[lutece]

Lynx point is a kind of colorpoint. It is just a fancy way of saying tabby point.

Why blue and not seal? He looks to have more brown than blue in his coloring.

If you look at the picture of his face you'll see that his stripes are gray. Warm beige coloring on the body is normal for blue point.

Larry really started something here...

So the stripes are the indicator of his coloring.

Yes, the base color can generally be seen in the darkest areas of the coat, in this case the stripes on the face, back of the ears, tail stripes and tail tip. A black-based (seal) lynx point will have blackish brown in the darkest areas, a blue tabby will have gray, etc.

I guess I am looking at your cat and not seeing that intense blue in Larry's stripes.

Blue lynx point. What about his white legs and belly? How does that fit in?

That's why he would be described as "blue lynx point and white." The white markings are caused by a dominant gene called "white spotting." We can assume that at least one of his parents had white markings, too.
