Dilute Cutie Pie

[DemoiselleMoi]

What kind of kitty do I have? She is sweet, very loving and affectionate but doesn’t like to be held and hogs attention from her sister. A total lap cat and follows me around the house. I’ve done so much research to try to figure it out, but I’m lost. She’s a 10 year old rescue cat named Rosie

thanks!

My best guess would be a domestic long haired dilute tortie.

She is so beautiful! I would also describe her as a blue-cream (dilute tortie) domestic longhair. Most cats are not any particular breed.

The white on her muzzle is very symmetrical so I am guessing that it is part of her tabby pattern, and not really white spotting... although if you see other white spots on her paws and tummy, it could be white spotting.

Thanks! I think so too, but she doesn’t look like any other dilute tortie I’ve seen.

She doesn’t have any other white on her. Her underside has some cream though. I love her little white patch and her eyeliner! She’s my diva kitty.

I realize I made a mistake while typing my response. I think she is a blue patched tabby (also known as dilute torbie)... not blue-cream / dilute tortie. That's how she could have white on the chin as part of her tabby pattern. It's late at night here, so I'm a bit tired and making mistakes

Check out this adorable kitten photo I have of her! The whole reason I wanted an expert opinion like yours is because I couldn’t decide between torbie and tortie. Thanks!!

Yes, I think the tabby markings on her face indicate that she is a torbie. It can be difficult to see the tabby pattern on the body of a longhaired cat, especially with a torbie. Often if the pattern is difficult to see, it is a classic tabby pattern.

Thanks again. I googled blue patched long haired tabby and found some of her clones. You nailed it
