Cat Breed

[mikageme07]

hello! New member here. I want to know the breed of my cat because the breeder was very vague about it. Still, I wanted the cat so I got him. Can you please help me identify? They said that the kitten is a siberian cat.

He’s gorgeous! He sure looks like a Siberian kitten to me! What do you mean when you say the breeder was vague about his breed? Did they give you pedigree papers? That’s the only way to know for sure what breed a cat is, and without papers, he would technically be considered a Domestic Longhair, no matter how much he looks like a Siberian.

not yet. But I'm planning to take him next week for his shots. I'm still strengthening him. When I bought him, he was so weak and thin. The previous owner neglected him. So I bought him despite not being sure about his breed. He was infested with ticks and had a lot of wounds from tick bites. He was scared of humans too.

no, they did not give me any documentations. Well, the breeder told me that he had a litter of siberian kittens. So I bought this one. But then he posted a pic of one of the kittens saying that it was a persian kitten.

according to the breeder, these are his siblings. He told me they were siberian kittens, only to find out that he posted the calico one on fb as "pure persian". That's why I'm asking for help identifying based on their appearance. No pedigree papers either so I can't really be sure.

Hello and welcome to The Cat Site. I can't help you with his breed, but I can tell you he is simply adorable.

Thank you! I'm planning to stick around. This forum is very helpful.

HE IS PRECIOUS, is what he is! If you really want to know, there are now cat DNA testing sites. The one that I think I would trust most would be Cat Ancestry - FAQ, simply because it is University of California, Davis, which is as reputable as they come!

thanks for the help!

That's what we are here for! Oh...and my two cents worth? He looks far more like a Siberian than a Persian, to me. He's just not brachycephalic enough to look Persian.
