New 1-year-old kitty: what does she look like?

[silverwaves]

Here is my 1-year-old kitty, Abby who I adopted from a rescue almost 2 months ago. She is very high energy, athletic, and loves to play. Her body is sleek, she moves with ease and grace, and she feels like pure muscle. I'm curious what her breed mix could resemble. She has torbie colors, but her body looks like she could have something else in her lineage. Siri always suggests "Abyssinian" or "Bengal" on her pictures. Does she resemble those breeds? Mixed with American Shorthair? I'd appreciate any insights!

No idea what breeds her ancestry may feature (Abyssinian or one of the wildcat derivatives were my only guesses, too) but she's gorgeous, whatever the mix!

(Sorry, that's not helpful, just had to go Ooh at such a pretty cat.)

Being ticked tabby a mix with Abessynian looks nearest. (thus torbie with white, in the ticked tabby pattern)

Although ticked tabby dominates over the other tabby patterns, so if you find sure proofs she has some Bengal ancestry - its not impossible. Her bengal tabby would be hidden by the ticked tabby.


ps. On the last photo we see her from above and she does has visible pattern. Seems to be a broken mackerel... Yet she seems to be ticked tabby too... Lets think a bit more about this.

Shed very pretty - Bengals are always asymmetrical and her pattern looks very symmetrical ,her head is certainly in proportion to her body which also is uncharacteristic of a Bengal- only Bengal type thing about her is the rounded ears but I'd suggest a DNA test if you'd like to know her ancestry


What she most certainly is - is BEAUTIFUL!Very beautiful

I agree she looks like what people said abyssinianesque, with some ticking, and also some oriental ancestry. I don't see bengal but the contrast of the markings is beautiful... what a beauty She would be called a dsh brown tabby with white or maybe a torbie.
