What Is Breed Is My Cat?

I adopted this scrawny emaciated little kitten from a rescue about 6 months ago. He was described as a medium hair cat but in the 6 months that I've had him he has grown so much! He has so much fluff! FYI he's fluffy not fat! Does anyone know just by looking at him what breed he could be? Maine Coon? Norwegian Forest Cat? I'm just curious what my little fluff ball could be.

I think hes just a long hair kitty

He’s so cute! I would describe him as a black and white bicolor (in the harlequin pattern) Domestic Longhair.

What a cute fluff ball! I would describe your cat as a black and white bicolor domestic longhair. Most cats aren't any particular breed.

Genetically, cats are either longhaired or shorthaired; there is no gene for "medium hair." Sometimes, people will describe a longhaired cat as "medium haired" if it doesn't have a lot of coat... but as you see with your cat, it's possible for a longhaired cat's coat to fill out and get much fluffier as the cat matures.

I agree with the above comments but, if I had to make a guess at a look alike I would lean toward Siberian. It is possible to get a thoroughbred from a shelter. If it was given up from their owner for whatever reason they would usually let it be known that they are and provide papers. If it was an abandon cat it's possible it could have come from a low level breeder and could still be a thoroughbred but, just pet quality. If it was a feral or stray it's more than likely mixed so it would be a Domestic Long hair. Most people that would pay top dollar for a cat from a reputable breeder are not going to let it go unless they absolutely have to for medical reasons, they passed away, etc. Or, the cat ran off and got lost.

You could have a DNA test done but with feline testing being in it's infancy it hasn't been perfected at this point. Your cat does appear to have a big breed influence though.
