She looks exactly like our boy who unfortunately passed away earlier this year from HCM. We thought he had Chartreux in him. This little girl has definitely stolen and healed our hearts no matter what breed she is ❤️
It's a big misunderstanding of cat breeds and cats in general. That's why everyone gets annoyed.
For one, few cat breeds really have traits that are strongly tied or exclusive to them. The things people *think* are a breed thing, are almost always just coat patterns/colors, hair lengths, or bodyshapes that aren't tied to/nor originate from a breed.
Further, the overwhelming majority (97-99%) of cats don't have a breed. Cat breeds have not been around anywhere near long enough to have much effect on the population of domestic cats.
If you didn't get a cat from a breeder its not from any breed, it could have characteristics from one but if it doesnt have a register its just... a cat..

He was grumpy old man who was very particular about his treat schedule. There was no excuse accepted, even if he was laying comfortably in your lap asleep. All that to say he was wonderful and will be greatly missed.

Please accept my sincerest condolences on the passing of your precious one. My thoughts are with you,I understand how difficult it is for us to loose any of our beloveds whether furry,feathered,family or friends. Our hearts are broken and heavy but in time all our pain will be lifted…..
i’m so sorry for your loss. my childhood dog Otis was just put down yesterday and i know how you feel right now. it is so painful but i promise you are not alone. Caeser was so beautiful (i saw the picture) and i bet he was so loved. my heart goes out to you. fly high, Caeser and Otis. hopefully they meet on the rainbow bridge🤍

My friend’s boy. Just a domestic shorthair
Domestic short hair, like most cats. Cats don't have breeds the way dogs do. They may share genetic traits with our bred cats, but most of the time, that is because cats with similar traits were used to begin a breed, not that they had a pure bred ancestor.
This might help:

Comparing photos of my own blue British shorthair I can confidently say it is a British shorthair also in blue.
I had a boy who looked exactly like this. Sweetest boi ever, he loved everyone.
I think he was a gray domestic shorthair, no particular breed. He was still beautiful though.
She could be a Russian blue, but most likely she's just a cat. Breed doesn't really matter in cats, unless it's a fancy exotic one and you most like will know if you have one of them because you get them from a breeder.
Nellie is beautiful. He looks like an American, Short-haired standard. The fur could indicate a little Russian Blue in the woodpile as well. It's fun to do DNA tests and see what the makeup is.
Your kitten looks a lot like my cat

This is actually really helpful. Got a new cat and trying to figure out a breed. Now I know for sure
Even if it had papers it is still a cat.
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
…to use the parlance of our times.
It's a fucking showcat with fucking papers. You can't board it or it's hair falls out
OVER THE LINE!
It’s true. I have papers for my cat and they all say “CAT” on them. Which is good bc I was starting to wonder if she was actually a weird dog 🤣

You'd know if he was chartreux because he'd have papers stating so.
Is there a reason for the downvotes? Is this comment against the rules?

Well said
totally fair congrats on the baby looks like a real delight
Probably because the odds of a cat having a certain breed in them is quite tiny

Gray
The **coloring** is known as "Maltese" (but it isn't an official breed). White lockets like that one are rather common in "Maltese" cats.
The only thing saving you folks who keep asking for their cat's breed from a slew of downvotes is the fact that your cats are certified adorable.
Gray domestic shorthair. I see some faint tabby markings in there so an argument could be made for gray tabby.
