What background do you think my Moggy has??

[maestromad]

My little moggy is short haired; blue-eyed and super big at 3.5kg at 4 months old.
He has the most beautiful markings and although he looks permanently grumpy I promise he’s the happiest little thing.
so what breed do you guys think he’s most like?

He's so cute! With any cat, unless they have a pedigree, we can't tell for sure what breed they are. That being said, your boy is a lookalike to a Snowshoe cat! To describe him, accurately you could describe him as a seal point bicolor Domestic Shorthair, or a Domestic Shorthair with snowshoe markings.

Oooh you are right he’s the image of them isn’t he? it's more out of curiosity than anything - he’s always going to be our Moggy from Essex.
his mum was white with a black mark and blue eyes and he had white female siblings and ginger and white brothers!
The vet asked today if he was a particular breed but my OH couldn’t remember which one - we currently aren’t allowed in the bets with them so it’s all done by phone thanks to COVID-19

It sounds as he is the only point in the batch. So it would give, two non pointed parents, but both carriers of the point gene. This gives typically 1 kitten of four pointed, the others non pointed.

Momma has blue eyes, but if she wasnt a point so she wasnt. blue eyes with non points int that common, but its certainly not forbidden.

OR she was a point, but having much white on her, her face masque and her dark points was hidden by all the white... And thus, it wasnt apparent she is a true point. Such happens too.

Any ways, for all practical reasons, count him as a domestic shorthair, seal point with white.
Even if he is a totally look alike to a Snowshoe, he surely isnt, they are rare.
He could of course be a natural child to an untypical old type siamese.
