I need to know my cat breed
He/she is a domestic, medium haired (the bushy tail reveals he isnt not shorthair).  Red and white.  The pattern is called for Harlekine.

Good luck!

The same as above.  You could prob say she is a persian mix, or half persian, but as the looks arent at all similiar to a persian,  so it wouldnt help anybody.

Perhaps the only good to know it is for the vet, as persians may do have some typical sickednesses, like problems with kidneys.  KDN?

Her pattern is called for harlekine, but it is partly similiar to Van-pattern - so you can try and look up this pattern.  Thereby not said she is any Turkish van - they are rare, but the pattern isnt that rare.

It's spelled "harlequin", if you want to look it up (I checked; Google says that's the right spelling.) Harlequin is just a bit more color than Van, with spots along the back and top of the head. I think it goes Van, Harlequin, Tuxedo, and then just a little white medallion on the chest, in order of most white to least.

Yeah, you can call her a Persian mix if her momma was Persian, but she didn't inherit very much of her mother's looks, so people may not believe it. :) She looks like a domestic longhair to me... well, on the short end of longhair, but that floofy tail is a longhair thing, no mistake!

Did she inherit the Persian personality? You know--quiet, easygoing, a bit introverted, likes to take it easy in a sunbeam?
