This is Morchella my female fluff xD. She came to us as a feral, and I tamed her.
I was curious as to what breed(s) she might be. I’ve been thinking she may have some main coon…( no worries about the plumpness, haha. She is pregnant. ):)

Or I was also looking at Norwegian forest cats, and she almost has the same face shape. But she has a small frame.

I think if you want to compare her to an established breed, so perhaps the Sibirians...

Sibirians too can be quite large, although visibly smaller than MCO or Norvegians... But I have noticed modern Siberians arent as big, and tend to look more doll-alike... This is true at least for the Sibirians in Sweden.

But what she is is surely, domestic long hair, DLH. alike 95% of all cats.

colorwise, she is literally brown on the pics... Im not sure if its her true color, or it has something to do with the pics.

I think she is a brown (black) tabby (ie not blue (grey / diluted). The whitish around her mouth isnt no true white spot, its typical for tabbies.
And the whitish mane is typical for dark longhair with a great mane.

She is gorgeous and forest cat like and would say a Siberian-like also. Officially she is a dlh , she looks like a blue tabby tuxedo in the pics. Thank you for saving her and her kittens. ❤

Thank you! She is actuallya lot more get than in the photo.It’s just the lighting.
I’d say she is grey but there is a slight golden if you look at her s certain way. Thanks for your help!

BTW, my mom specifically got a Siberian because it is supposedly hypoallergenic. She is allergic to my domestic shorthair, Willy, but not to her cat pictured above.
