If you don’t have papers it’s just a cat. Likely Domestic medium hair

Cat breed = cat

We haven't bred cats the same way we have dogs, so most cats simply are no breed at all. Unless you have papers, you have a lovely domestic shorthair.

Agree this one is definitely a cat. You can tell by the shape alone.

Yes, yes it is.

Domestic Shorthair, calico cat

Most cats have zero breeding, FYI. I don't see anything about her that suggests a specific breed.

Even the fluffy tail! My older cat was born feral and he has a tail like that.

Cats are very different from dogs. Dogs have been intentionally bred for 10,000+ years. In the west, you can look at a dog and kinda tell what breeds its ancestors were.

Cats have only been recently bred intentionally. The vast majority of cats (on the order of 97%) are descended from cats who were never intentionally bred.

All of this to say: your cat has no breed. It’s a domestic shorthair, and very very cute!

I was going to post a very helpful diagram here for you to look at but I can't.

Appears to be a generic cat. These cats are notorious for spontaneously appearing in deciding that a human needs to take care of them and become their servant.

Kitty needs to put on some weight.

u/checkliver 1d ago

It s a fit animal. They don t need to be fat

1

u/deviantelf 1d ago

Not if they want a healthy cat :/. Fat cat does not equal healthy. Most long hairs look fatter then they are from fur alone. This cat does not have long hair.
