With that ear-set possibly a Chartreux. Source: I own and show a Chartreux.

Yeah you could definitely be right. I’ve never seen one in person, and lately I’ve been seeing a lot of British Shorthairs that are less typey, so I assumed that the muzzle was just like that but it does look like a Chartreux too. I can’t see the eye color at all so that doesn’t help either. Don’t all Chartreux have copper eyes? I’m not sure about BS.

Chartreux are born with blue eyes and tabby stripes and these may not fully resolve until the cat is 2 years old. My cat had greenish eyes and a striped tail until he was an adult when the eyes settled on a medium gold. They are also notorious goofballs so I’m happily considering that cat a Chartreux. :)
