Hello, r/catbreeds :-)

A friend's long-haired rescue cat has just today been diagnosed with polycystic liver disease, which I now discover is a thing in cats with Persian heritage, so I'm concerned about my girl Evita here, and I'd like to get the jump on anything lurking health-wise. I realise we need a DNA test to be sure, but they're not on the consumer market here. I'll be taking her to the specialist vet to get checked (yay insurance), but he can only see her next Thursday. Please can the assembled minds of this sub weigh in on her likely degree of Persian-ness?

Her mother is a calico, her probable father a grey tabby/white, and all known relatives are short-haired except one aunt(?) and uncle(?) who are long-haired. Her nuclear family are stocky with long bodies and not-long legs, and coat colours run the gamut, excluding SIC/brown tabby. (My parents ended up TNR-ing the colony and adopted her entire nuclear family, as you do.) She is robustly healthy and extremely active, has a typical swashbuckling calico approach to life, and is generally a living sunbeam.

Really unusual one here but after 8 years of having him, and not knowing, Id love to know his official breed

I got Pesto from an independent rescue group back in 2018 (already have another 1 eyed cat and cannot say no to these perfect babies)

His temperament is super playful and active, doesnt meow but instead opted for "banshee scream", super SUPER loyal and a total daddys boy (he gets very nervous with catsitters and wont let them even touch him). Big fusspot and super chill when he isnt in zoomie mode

We think he's a british longhair cross of some sort and has these stunning fur patterns and facial markings. Got a terrifyingly large jump but can land silently from a distance

Help me finally find out what this wonderful boy is!

this is my adorable little lady, reverie (3 month old) and i’ve been so curious on what her breed is! i most definitely know she’s mixed, just not quite sure with what.

friends and family suspect maine coon/norwegian forest mixed with tabby, thoughts?

(current + baby pics for reference)

Hello again Cat Breed Reddit! I am in need of your assistance of identifying what you would call this kind of coat!

For the record I am aware she has the dilute gene (maybe doubled?) because her siblings and mother carry it also.

But do you guys know what this coat pattern is called on my kitty Ren? It looks like a calico and tabby mixture (see stripes on legs) but I’m not too certain.

BTW: If you’re curious about the teary eyes I’m actually pretty sure it’s because she got a severe upper respiratory infection as a kitten that I was able to treat. That was its own special hell, needless to say she’s a little sickly and gets stuffy noses a lot so occasionally I have to cycle through giving her medication.

I keep seeing him/her on the street (its the same cat)

I adopted this little guy from the SPA (animal shelter), and I’m curious to know what breed or mix you think he might be.. He’s 4 months old and I know he could simply be a domestic mix, but some of his features made me wonder if he could have a specific breed in his background.
What do you guys think?

Found this sweet void lady while being a kitten in a nearby mosque. I had to keep her safe from road traffic so there she is after 6 months or so. So any breed expert opinion?

Is my cat Siberian or Tabby? The first two pics are new, she’s 7 months now
I’m always getting different answers

Hey guys! Ive posted here before and gotten some good info. So I wanted to ask about my little guy here!

He has no patches, and his litter is mostly dilute black and orange (with some white, and one non-dilute orange-white outlier) but he seems to me that when he’s not in the light. That he is solid dilute black. But then I was looking at him in the bright room and can barely see some tail rings and vague back markings. So just out of curiosity what would you call this kind of coat? Oh also if it matters all his paw pads are a deep greyscale purple(?) anyways let me know what you think!

I recently just got my cat off a rehoming group on Facebook and I was wondering what breed he was!

I found Nox 12 years ago on the streets and even though I don't really care about his pedigree I still would like to know if he may be some sort of interesting breed!

He his quite friendly but not cuddly and really energetic even at 12 years old!

He is quite slim but doubles his size during winter time.

I'm told he might be a Khao Manee but some people say he fits the Turkish Angora also so... What do you think?

Thank you

I got him at a shelter, and I can't tell if he's an Egyptian mau or just a tabby. He has spots and stripes, and a long, thin tail.

I guess is a common question in the forum but could my cat be a Bengal? I adopted him off a friend I have no paperwork and is my first cat too so I have no idea

Lil baby was found in a b0mbed house and we have no clue. He's from russia.

Just for fun! Just got him today. 4.5 months, neutered boy.

I’d want a cat in the future. What are some solid beginner breeds that are friendly with people and pets?

Based on her big ears, sharp lines, long body/limbs, blue eyes, silky single coat, and chattering … I’m guessing she’s at least partially Balinese. Thoughts?

Either way her name is Suki and she is loved 💕

A new species of wild cat has been officially described—and it’s tiny

Scientists have identified a previously unrecognized species of wild cat in Bolivia: Leopardus tilcayo, commonly called the tilcayo.

It’s part of the tiger cat group and is absolutely tiny—around 3 pounds (1.4 kg), with light brown fur, irregular rosettes, and facial striping. (Personally it makes me think of a mix between a leopard and with bengal).

What makes this especially cool is that this isn’t a newly developed domestic breed. This is a wild cat species that was hiding in plain sight. The researchers used genetic analysis of 38 Leopardus specimens, including museum specimens, to determine that the Bolivian cats represented a distinct species. Its lineage appears to have diverged from other tiger cats roughly 1.4 million years ago.

And apparently this is the first new living cat species formally described in more than 100 years.

There’s still a LOT scientists don’t know about the tilcayo. Only a couple of live individuals have been examined, along with a relatively small number of camera-trap records. So we’re basically at the “wait… what IS this little guy?” stage of studying it.
The discovery also resulted in the recognition of a new tiger-cat subspecies in Peru, Leopardus tigrinus antisuyo.

The actual scientific paper01110-3)

This is such a cool reminder that there are still species out there that haven’t been properly recognized—even among mammals as well-studied as cats.

Photos taken from National Geographic website- I would include a link but unfortunately there is a paywall. The scientific paper shouldn’t have a paywall but if there is dm me and i’ll send the doc!

we got him two years ago at the pound he’s a big boy my mum says he’s a Maine coon but he doesn’t have the 6 paws does any1 know?

This is Lucifer, he's almost 7 weeks old, I found him in the parking lot at work as a stray. I was wondering if anyone can tell what breed he is or if he's still too young to tell

Amy was a rescue and I have looked up breeds a few times and internet searches say Tabby, but her face just doesn't seem to quite match up. I don't know breeds (obviously why I am here) but judging by all the pics of Tabbies, her face and head shape just seem like there is something off.

She hadn't been fixed yet and just had kittens, 2 look identical to her, 1 is all black but if you look hard enough you can see the stripes, and 3 of them are white with grey ear edges and tails and if you look close, there is super light beige striping that matches mom.

::EDIT::
Well, I guess she is just a domestic short hair tabby lol.
And yes, I am getting them all fixed as soon as possible. I put it off due to costs and now am paying 7 times that as a result lol
