Ty!She's a domestic shorthair. Color/pattern is seal point, possibly seal lynx point or tortie point. I would need to see more of her body and tail to determine the pattern.
The pointed gene is thought to have originated with siamese cats but it's spread into other breeds as well as the general non-pedigreed cat population. So yes, she probably has siamese somewhere in her background but it could be several generations back.
Whatever her background she is one gorgeous kitty.
Colorpoints are common enough in DSH/DLH now that many have no siamese breed in them at all actually.
Pics of the sister too please. She's a stunning girl!
She's not really stubborn or too energetic as of yet, but she IS talkative. She also seems to be demanding with wanting to be pet while she eats.
Sadly I didn't take any photos of her sister! And I have no idea what her parents looked like. She and the sister looked similar only her sister was a lil longer haired and darker in the face though.Colorpoints are common enough in DSH/DLH now that many have no siamese breed in them at all actually.
We would need to see more pictures of her to tell if she's a longhair or not. More body pictures for sure. If both parents were longhairs it's a guarantee that she is a longhair. Not sure if you know the parents though. If I saw body pictures I could tell you for sure if she's a longhair or not
Seal-tortie point shorthair! Those are one of the more uncommon types of cats, so you're lucky to have one!
my two tortie were opposites though, one was laid back and so sweet but a bit stubborn and the other was all feisty and very sweet too, both super smart, the feisty girl was part siamese.
She's stunning
Aww she is adorable. She sounds wonderul
There is no way to tell what her heritage may be for sure and without a histroy and pedigree etc. she would be dsh seal tortie point. I don’t think she looks longhair enough to look ragdoll but she is a bit fluffy and that can change.
Her sister had longer hair than she did! Not by MUCH, but yeah. She had longer hair and was bigger, had a slightly darker face too. Other than that they were identical though.Nope colorpoints are so common in DSH/DLH now most don't even have siamese in them lol. I do think she is a tortie point though given her orange paw and I think a short hair. Just a longer short hair
Oh, wow! That's all really cool information and thank you forsharing it!Aww she is adorable. She sounds wonderul
Ragdoll is a breed. See links. They were originally bred from an all white angora like domestic longhair cat called Josephine. She was bred with seal point males who were either Birman or Burmese like from what I can tell. Ann Baker the original breeder kept the registration restricted to her own group for a long time and eventually there was a dispute about what pb ragdolls should look like ending with them being colorpoints and often bicolor cp.
The first kittens were a mix of cp and solid, with an all black cat. Some breeders still breed non colorpoint ragdolls and register them but they are not show quality as they do not match the breed standard.
All colorpoint cats have siamese heritage somewhere down the line, that is where the points came from, albeit usually pretty distant in a domestic population. In my area we don’t have very many cp in the domestic cat population, I have only seen a handful in a long time doing rescue/ volunteer etc. I see lots advertised for adoption in CA and the south.
