Her name is Chloe thank you! I just wasn’t sure because of her whiskers she kinda had that longer haired look. Or maybe medium haired even though I know that’s not a real thing.My guess is shorthair. Sometimes kitten fuzzies make them look like they'll have longer hair, but it tends to smooth out as they get older.
Very cute kitten. What is her name?
Whiskers aren't the most accurate indicator of overall hair length. Longhair kittens will frequently have tufts between their toes and longer tufts on the ear tips.Her name is Chloe thank you!

Right. Whiskers arent really part of the body fur! They are sense organs... Called for vibrissae - so again, they are something else than the body fur. Even if at first glance they seems alike.Whiskers aren't the most accurate indicator of overall hair length.

A couple of years ago the category for our Picture of the Month contest was Whiskers. Take a look at the entries and you'll see that many of the shorthair cats have long whiskers.
See above re my answer on whiskers....Her name is Chloe thank you! I just wasn’t sure because of her whiskers she kinda had that longer haired look. Or maybe medium haired even though I know that’s not a real thing.
The cat in your photo #2 isn't a Russian Blue. I know it can be confusing when you look for pictures online!Photo #2 is a pure breed.
Was the green eyed Maltese cat her cat you were referring to?The cat in your photo #2 isn't a Russian Blue. I know it can be confusing when you look for pictures online!
This cat appears to be a blue domestic shorthair of no particular breed. The photographer calls it a "green eyed Maltese cat, also known as British Blue," which doesn't make a whole lot of sense (and if you look at the other photos of this cat you will see it doesn't look like a British Blue at all). Here is the photo being sold on a stock photo site: Green Eyed Maltese Cat Also Known As The British Blue Stock Photo
There is some reliable information about Russian Blue cats at this web site, including many pictures:

Would you know what type of kitten she is?I have a Russian Blue. First of all, Russian Blue cats are supposed to be all blue/grey. The only white, which is a flaw, is on the belly. They don't supposed to have any tail stripes. Also a thick double coat. The eye color supposed to be green. Yellow outsides are common in kittens, then should fade out by the age of two. Photo #1 is my cat. Photo #2 is a pure breed.View attachment 379526View attachment 379527
From the picture, I would describe the kitten as a blue domestic shorthair. Your kitten appears to be a blue and white domestic shorthair. They are both lovely kittens -- I am a big fan of blue catsWould you know what type of kitten she is?
The 2nd link didn't work. Somehow it's blocked. My cat lost the warm grey hues. She looks like the Maltese cat now. Only thing is her outer iris is yellow, not green. Can Maltese have either eye color?Was the green eyed Maltese cat her cat you were referring to?
"Maltese" is not an official breed, but is simply a term that can be used to refer to any blue cat. Most blue cats do not have any specific breed ancestry. That doesn't make them any less pretty or special, though!The 2nd link didn't work. Somehow it's blocked. My cat lost the warm grey hues. She looks like the Maltese cat now.
