Fun game - guess the ancestry!

[Sparkles99]

So, I copied @Lady Jane & bought a cat DNA test which I'm sending in today. Meanwhile, I thought it'd be fun to guess the breeds or regions (Western, Middle Eastern, etc.). For details of how this works see post #64 on this thread: Inky Updates

Here's the kitty in question, Raphaela Puff!


Here are some further details as I'm clearly at an advantage here:

• Grey classic pattern tabby
• Green eyes
• White locket (visible on neck in photo); no other white markings anywhere
• Silky feeling fur with long guard hairs
• Very short, dense undercoat
• Cobby build

I bought her from some students when they couldn't afford vet care. She was very ill. Friends pointed out the online ad. They thought they had a 14-week old kitten. She was actually 6-weeks, so weaned way too young at 4-5 weeks old. Never met or saw pics of her parents, etc. Likely a Kijiji kitten mill kitty.

I'm guessing Western, Persian &/or Siamese. Two family members have guessed Russian Blue. I don't see that, personally. One also thinks Siamese &/or Persian. Her fur is very odd.

Any guesses from the AA cat lovers?!

She is beautiful.

Siamese

I agree plus a little like the spotted cats such as Occicat in face. I used to have one.

I never thought of that. Guess we shall see.

the fur almost reminds me of an Abyssinian

The results are in! Most shocking!

@zoo mom @Lady Jane @Animallover03

Polycat is landrace cats - no particular breed.

Same group Inky is in. Both cats had MC as a higher percentage. Surprising as i see nothing that looks coonish.

Wow - who would have guessed those results!
