Hi everyone ! I’m new to the site and new to kitties! This is my first cat and she is just a baby still. 9 weeks and 2 days is my guess, they told me she was 8 when I got her 1 week and 2 days ago :)

I fell in love with her face. They told me she was going to be medium haired. Her mom was apparently a long hair “white with calico” markings. Unknown father. I’ve been told by a few people elsewhere now that they think she’ll be medium - long.

I don’t know if I think so? She is certainly very fluffy, her fur is as soft as cotton, she does have little ear tips that seem to be getting longer by the day and her ear tufts inside are growing longer. Her tail.. sometimes it appears bushy others it doesn’t.

Obviously she is easier to photograph sleeping 😂

I think she will grow up to be a shorthair. I think she still has her kitten fluff but as she grows her fur will look shorter.

So cute! She's a torbie (tortie/tabby) with white, or some people will call it caliby or tabico (calico/tabby).

I think she'll be shorthaired. Maybe slightly poofier than some shorthairs but still shorthaired.

She is stunning! And yes she will 100% be a short hair, you can see her paws dont have that tufts of fur longhair kittens have. They also have extra fluffy ears lol, like Fynn did and you can see the very long ear tufts. They tend to have very thick fur and very soft.
