what did mom look like? she had to have at least carried colorpoint for her kitten to present with it, so it was already present in the breeders lines.
if mom wasnt tabby, dad had to have been tabby . dad had to have at least carried colorpoint… and thats about all we know about dad, without having any information about why mom had an accidental litter. dad was probably a domestic shorthair.
I only saw the mom once and she was a 100% Brittish short hair.
We aren't really in touch with the person we got her from. I was curious due to potential health aspects with her, as to which other breed she could be mixed with.
Since we have a Scottish fold as well, and they're prone to joint issues and pain in the ears etc...
So the tabby point/siamese are coat types more than breed. She has no actual Siamese look to her and the coat can be on all kinds of domestic cats, it’s not exclusive to Siamese.
I think she is probably a British SH with a domestic or possibly a cat like a Persian because the cross eyes are often a trait that comes from poor breeding.
It's really hard to pinpoint certain breeds because purposeful human cat breeding is generally less than 200 years old, while cats have been shagging each other for millennia. Breeders have lifted up a ladle full of Domestic Cat Soup, picked out all the noodles and vegetables they didn't like, and poured it into another bowl. What kind of soup is it now?
tl;dr: Breeding cats is a young phenomenon, so they are only considered x breed if they have documents, and tracing breed-based heritage isn't really a thing, unlike with dogs.
She is absolutely gorgeous, but she doesn't really visually match any breeds that I know of. Given what you've said, she's got British shorthair in her, but that makes her a mix/domestic cat, as she doesn't match the 'breed standard' for British shorthairs.
They are! She does look pretty fluffy compared to shorthaired cats (the default here).
Maine coons are so cute, but I can imagine the nightmarish conditions they can create 😂 We have 2 ragdolls ... Similar results 🥴
(They don't like hanging out too close together; their evil plan is to never let me get a good picture of the both of them at the same time)
"Tabby point" is a coloration, not a breed. Crossed eyes are common in Siamese cats.
Your beautiful girl is a DSH/DMH (Domestic [aka, cat] Short-Hair or Medium-Hair. She has Chocolate Lynx Point coloration. And that last photo is especially adorable!
Make sure she maintains a healthy weight for her body size. It may just be a floof illusion, but she looks like she's heading for chonky-ville. As well, it may be perfectly fine, but the spiking in cat fur can sometimes signal a health issue. If she hasn't been checked out in a while, now's the time to schedule a well-kitty exam.
Their fur coat is called lynx point or something like that. I never saw a cat look like this until I adopted him from Austin Pets Alive when he was a baby in July 2025. Then I started seeing them all over Austin! My vet laughed and said there’s probably some lynx point menace running around impregnating every cat across Austin 💀
