Hi my cat is now 6 months old. She is very vocal, loving, affectionate, loves new people and so far has met a couple of dogs and loves them. She has big green eyes and big ears. People say she looks like a mix and I wasn't sure. She was found as a kitten behind a hospital so I don't know her history. If someone could help :) I think she might be an egyptian mau mix. I know a lot of people say its rare but its worth it to ask!

She's lovely! :redheartpump:

From the pictures, I would describe your kitten as a brown mackerel torbie domestic shorthair. It's normal for mackerel tabbies to have some of their stripes broken up into small spots. Most cats are not any particular breed, but this doesn't make them any less pretty or special! Your girl is gorgeous and has her own special look :)

Torbie means "tortoiseshell tabby." We can see that she's a torbie because she has red tabby patches. I've circled some of her red tabby patches in the picture here:
