I recently adopted a 5 month old kitten who was found at a landfill (awww). She is the sweetest kitty and loves playing with my dog, and seems to have no health problems.
However, I am curious, if anyone has any experience with predicting things like this: she does not seem to be as domestic longhair/medium hair. She almost looks like a Maine Coon or Turkish Angora, because she has such soft fur that billows to an extremely fluffy tail. She also has tufted ears. But she is calico, which is normally not a trait in either breed, with the minor exception of the Angora - but she is very bony (not skinny, just bony) , and has the structure of a Coon. She is 5 months old and about 5 pounds. Can anyone give me idease on a breed mix? Or how big she will get? Are there any calculators (ie measuring bone structure) for this kind of thing?
Here are links o a few pictures (sorry they are a bit big - but please take the time to look, I am researching nutrition requirements of different breeds).
