Breed Lookalike?

[Ardina]

Hi everyone,

I've been curious about what potential breeds Mishka has. Or if she's a lookalike to anything in particular. She's also grown a lot faster than my other cat Saipha - she's nearly 10 lbs at not quite 8 months old. Also, would she be considered a domestic longhair or mediumhair?

Mishka is the one on the right:

I would say possibly some Maine Coon ancestry some where down the line and medium hair. It's possible her fur could get longer with age. The tail is really fluffy. Pretty girl!

Good to know, thank you! How do you determine mediumhair vs longhair?

Mishka definitely has a Maine Coon look to her! Without papers, she'd be a Domestic Longhair. I say she's a true longhair instead of a mediumhair because she has long ear furnishings, and a fully plumed tail. I'm guessing she has long toe tufts as well?

I've been seeing Saipha and Mishka around TCS for a while, and have always admired their beauty.

Aw thank you abyeb! Yes, she has lovely toe tufts that are so tempting to play with.
