What Breed is my cat?

[grickey]

She was found in a barn when she was about 6 months old - the vet indicated that she is now probably 2.5 years old, but she is still quite small.

What breeds do you think she might be?

What a  cute little face!     Her color is Blue Point.  and since we really have no idea of breed ( and she may have no recent ancestors who were a breed) , she'd just be called  a Domestic Longhair. 

 She is vaguely Ragdoll-ish  but does not really look a lot like one and they are usually bigger.      Of course,  they were originally started ( back in the 1960s) with pointed Domestic Longhairs . 

 

Unlike dogs , who usually are a breed or mix of a few breeds,  most cats are the result of many centuries of random breeding,   not selective breeding by humans.     The pedigreed cats are under 4% of owned cats.    The vast majority of cats  have just bred randomly on their own and have a mix of genes from the general cat population in their part of the world.    She got the pointed pattern from Southeast Asian ancestors (  Siamese) but could be from some Siamese 70 years ago and could have been passed down via another breed like Ragdoll or Himalayan.  She does not look anything like a Siamese other than the color,  and that has been spread to many other cats so there are lots of pointed cats today with hardly any Siamese in them.

I think she might Be a Hymalayan. Because i have a friend who has one and she looks like that.
