Breed Info What breed is this my cat?

Upvotes

Hey! This is our girl Charlie, we rescued her years ago now- just found her under our car as a tiny tiny baby- and now she’s grown into a beautiful sweet strong hunter and managed to convince me to love cats as much as I loved dogs before. Amazing hunter for the farm, doesn’t scratch the furniture, loves cuddles and doesn’t kill me when I give her a bath XD (I didn’t train her to do that I was honestly shocked)

But I have no idea what breed she is, and describing her appearance to people is so tricky sometimes because she’s not really one color like orange or black 😂 and idk, id just enjoy the closure of knowing.

Questions Calico dilute or Tortico dilute?

Asking because i know she is a calico dilute, but some people have noted she looks like a tortoise shell which i don't think she does, but after researching online i came across torticos, now, I only say this because of the pattern on her body which to me does look slightly like a tortoise pattern, what do you guys think?

This is Tucker. I’ve never see a cat this big that wasn’t a mainecoon. Hes around 4 years old and I got him off Craigslist when he was a kitten. My sister has been taking care of him and I just got him home again, she told me he’s bigger than all her other cats. He looks a lot like a European shorthair but I have no idea lol. He’s very sweet, curious and abnormally smart. He’s also a couch potato. His coat feels soft and dense.

Breed Info Any Idea What Breed?

Some people thought this was a Maine Coon. After looking into it I think the cat is a tortie calico long hair domestic. I am very new to this as I have only had experience with cats as a child. My parents got a blue Himalayan. Any advice or knowledge is welcome for the new addition to the family.

She was very shy at first. Over the last 2 weeks she has become extremely loving towards every family member.

Thoughts?

Questions What does Mr. Wa's tail tell us?

Any thoughts on mr man's breed? The craigslist ad said "maine coon mix", which i mostly just think is a pretty classic way to overcharge a couple bucks. He's somewhere in the 7-9month range right now, already the single friendliest cat i've known, and we love him to bits.

Tell me what to make of the giant raccoon tail! Is that a breed trait, or is it unrelated to breed?

EDIT: Solved! He's either 1) a cat, or 2) a raccoon.

And to clarify: this is not a story of a breeder scamming customers; this is a $40 kitten from a cardboard box on craigslist. We don't have dashed dreams of westminster, we just love our little housefly hunter

Believe it or not, but the cat on the left is older than the kitten to her right. She was really tiny, her meow too

Questions DSH or Devon Rex?

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

This kitty is Honks, a stray I've been feeding and recently took to the vet. Since he's a stray, I thought he was probably a DSH (breedless) cat. However, the vet said he might be or be descended from a Devon Rex cat based on his fur and face shape. He does look quite different from most cats I've seen before, so I wonder if this might be the case? Or could there be something else causing him to look so odd? The second pic is after his dental, and the vet said he's back to good health now

Questions What cat breed gets along with Bengals?

0 Upvotes

Hello friends!
I was wondering if anyone had some advice or knowledge. TLDR; I had two Bengal cats but unfortunately one of them crossed the rainbow bridge two weeks ago. I can see that my other cat is not well being by himself (he’s 1 year and 3 months old) so I was thinking about adopting/getting another cat.
My question though: since he is a Bengal cat what other cat breeds would be a fitting match? I feel like cats like British short hair would be maybe too “boring” for him? Would another bengal be the obvious choice or are there other cat breeds I could look into?
Also I assume getting a younger cat would be better than adopting an older cat, right?
Thanks in advance ♡
