Probably a blue domestic. You can always call it for a Malta Cat.

Face and head could sit on a Russian Blue. If he gets good green eyes its early to know. IF so, you will call it for a RB look alike.

Interesting! The guy who gave her to me said it’s a short-haired Chinchilla. Others said it’s a British shorthair. I am not so sure now

Without papers or at least sure ancestry, the cat will anyways count for a domestic. Even if a good look alike.

Here its too early to know for sure what look alike he will be, and its apparent most did fancy guesswork.

A british shorthair would prob look as a teddy bear at this age. Many kittens looks as teddy bears and develop later. So if a kittens doesnt look as a teddy bear, its in itself a hint for its future looks.

Here is a stock picture of a RB kitten - as per above if your little darling does have RB heritage you won't know until until he/she is a little older. The eyes will start to turn yellow then green (starting around the iris) at about 4 months, Russian Blues have mauve paw pads and a flat nose profile also

Here are some pics of Niki at about 5-6 months, they also have 'silver' tipped fur which looks very shimmery. Not a british blue they have a very differenct head shape at that age - would look like a little Ewok (Star Wars lol)

Okay so here are some more photos of her playing during the day! As of right now, her eyes are green (at times giving the illusion of gray). Her paws are the same color as Niki’s and her fur is a little shimmery too. She sometimes appears to have stripy fur but I’m not sure.

Oh she is so bueatiful
She appears to have wde set ears like Niki too. Her eyes won't settle properly until she is about 10 months so you will need to wait a bit and she still has fluffy kitten fur. RB's are very sleek coated and oh so soft. Domestic greys can have mauve paw pads but they are more often grey too.
'Ghost' stripes are not uncommen and disappear with age - Niki still has strips on her tail, I kind of like them They have a distinct personality too - Niki is very quiet and affectionate. The only thing she doen't have is the mortal fear of the vacuum cleaner, I think her wanting to be with me all the time over powers her 'run and hide' gene, she follows me around but won't get really close to the vacuum View media item 420739View media item 419347
