What breed does my cat resemble?

[Lara13]

Hi - just adopted Stormi from a rescue. She’s about 2 years old. What breed does she resemble?

She's lovely!

I would describe Stormi as a blue mackerel tabby domestic longhair. Blue is the cat fancy term for gray. Mackerel tabby refers to her tabby pattern of parallel stripes. She has beautiful green eyes, too!

Most cats are not any particular breed, and are not mixes of breeds, unlike dogs. I'm not seeing a close resemblance to a specific breed in these pictures. That doesn't make her any less beautiful or special, though! I am a big fan of blue kitties, and she has her own special look

She's adorable, her ear clip gives her such a cute look.

She's a domestic medium haired blue (gray) mackerel (because the stripes are like fishbones tabby cat, really doesn't seem to resemble any breed in particular to me. Coat is blue (i.e. gray).

edited because lutece and I crossed paths and I wanted to mention it LOL

I see, we did post at the same time!

mackerel (because the stripes are like fishbones)

I think mackerel tabby got its name because mackerel fish have narrow vertical stripes:

What a pretty lady. Does she have short legs?

Thank you. She is beautiful and we’re dying to cuddle and squeeze her but she’s not having any of it!!! Lol

I want to say yes.

I agree with the replies above but, if I had to pick a breed that she resembles I think I would go with Siberian though, not a strong resemblance. She does appear to have short legs from the picks. She's adorable! I can see why you would want to cuddle and squeeze her. Give her some time, she'll come around in her own time. Welcome to the site!
