New Kitten Lex. What Does She Look Like?

[Jamesf553]

Hey guys, just got this new kitten from the shelter, she's approximately 5 months old and she's doing great!

Her papers from the adoption agency just said "Domestic Long Hair" but I just wanted to get peoples opinion on what kind of breed/mix she looks like. I read that maine coons have a lot of her features like the super long tail, wide round eyes, and tufts of fur on her paws which she has. But my wife mentioned she also looks like a turkish angora.

Was just curious! Thank you!

I'd probably go with Mediumhair for her, she doesn't have the super plumed tail or long ear furnishings of a longhair. Maine Coons are longhairs, as well as having a more muscular build (your girl is more slender), and being very large. She is closer to a Turkish Angora lookalike, but she doesn't have the same tail plume as the Turkish Angoras. They're also a very rare breed. In that top view picture, she looks like she has a naturally lean build (with her shoulder blades close together). So it's possible she might have some Oriental influence, but short of a DNA test, this is impossible to know for sure, so she'd still be called a Domestic Longhair. Lex is a very striking cat for sure!
