What Breed Does This Look Like?

What breed does our soon to be new kitten look like? And what are their temperaments?

He's very cute! How old is he? He looks very young.

I would describe your kitten as a blue and white domestic longhair. I am guessing that he is going to be a longhaired cat... although I might be wrong about that, sometimes it's hard to tell with kittens. Most cats are not any particular breed. Like all cats, he will have his own special personality.

We just went to visit her again this evening and she is 7 weeks old. She will be 8 weeks next Friday.

Are you planning to pick her up next Friday when she is only 8 weeks old? Is it possible for her to stay with her mother and littermates a bit longer? It is really better for kittens to stay with mom and littermates until they are 12-14 weeks old.

Hi Binxiesmomma and welcome to the forum !

OMG.......she just takes your breath away !

Just precious !

It really makes a huge difference for them when they can stay longer: Delayed weaning reduces behavioural problems in cats

I saw and still see that with my Blaize......he was taken very early as well, and now I really wish he had not.

The family who has the momma doesn't want the kittens to stay any longer. I was open to getting her at whatever age past 8 weeks they wanted to keep the babies with momma.

@Binxiesmomma - that's what the average person, 'Jane and Joe Public', understand about cats and kittens, that they're "just fine" to be separated and leave 'the nest' at 8 - or, even 6 weeks. You won't find anyone in cat communities (like this, or shelter associations) who believes this anymore...... because, experience has shown the real differences that another 6-8 weeks can actually make. Yes, in the height of "kitten season" at shelters, there is often no other option but to get them out the door...because there are dozens of others waiting to come in.

I don't intend nor want to put you yourself on the spot over all this - because you need to do whatever it takes to ensure she comes home to you. I completely understand this!

If you know those folks, do you think they'd be open to hearing about this (or, are they simply dead-set on the 8-week date)? Do you think there's any room in there to negotiate? What if you were to provide food and litter for a few weeks? Is momma cat going to be spayed? (by now, she's already fertile again, so it won't be long until they're in the same situation) There are low-cost spay programs almost everywhere these days......is that something you could offer them in return for extending the kittens' stay?

Again, I'm only thinking out loud and putting out ideas and 'maybes'.....

We always do what we have to do. That's life!

You asked about temperaments. Just like with human kids, personalities and temperaments are formed individually and are influenced by the love and care they receive in the family. I'm sure she'll grow up to be the perfect kitty with you!
