Have only seen one caramel in person, believe it was lilac based, tabby point.
Differently shaded to a normal lilac, and easy to see how those who dispute the DM could say it was just a bad lilac.
True colours can be hard to photograph, and then different again on people's monitors

I recently got a new kitten and I'm not really sure what type of breed he is. I don't know if he's something different from a domestic longhair cat or not. It would be nice just to know what mix he is

He is a domestic long hair, but if you want to compare him with a breed, so he is a good look alike of a Maine Coon.
And cute at that!

Like the vast majority of cats he's just a domestic. Only around 3% of cats are pedigree breeds, and come from breeders with papers, likewise pedigree mixes' are also rare.I recently got a new kitten and I'm not really sure what type of breed he is.

Agreed
This got me thinking. Russian blue males, especielly the european Scandinavian variation, ARE supposed to look a little evil... Although themselves they are very mild and friendly. although they can be a somewhat shy.
It is a little skin fold above their eyes who makes them look so.
Looking at the pics, I wouldnt not spontaneously shrieked: this is a typical RB. But now when Im thinking RB, yes maybe a little look alike. Especielly the second picture!
So, a domestic short hair, ie moggie, but you can perhaps compare him to be a little look alike of a Russian blue... (white on RB is counted as serious fault, a big no no for all showing, and in practice for breeding too. And of course, the common american RB are rather smiling, not angry-looking)
Good luck!

Blue tabby domestic, no breed. Your photo shows the lovely mushroom pink undercoat that blue tabbies have
My little baby forbes. He is about 2 years old now or 1 and a half. Found him under an office building sitting on a brick and came right to the rescuers arms. Maybe the runt of the group? He's still a skinny little guy.

No breed, a brown tabby and white domestic.
Turkish Vans are a very rare breed, they are also long haired and have a different pattern to your cat.

Look, we all know in our hearts that our cats are moggies - but a little gentle speculation as to origins doesn't hurt does it?
Little G there likes to pretend he is part Maine Coone and part Turkish Van - it helps him cope with Big M's smugness about being a British Shorthair.
