Wondering what breed your cat is? How to tell if it's a mixed breed?

Kijani does not look like a pure breed cat, she is probably mix breed. if it is important for you to know the exact mix of breeds you can have a DNA test done. many companies offer this service and the process is easy and quite cheap. this is just one example: http://www.animalsdna.com/www.animalsdna.com/index.html

The best way to tell what breed your cat is would be to do a DNA test. Unless you got the cat from a breeder, in which case you would know the breed, the cat is most likely a mixed breed. Mixed breed cats are described by their haircoat (short, medium or long). So Max looks to be a DMH or domestic medium hair. ( https://www.petplan.co.uk/pet-information/cat/advice/cat-dna-test/ )

Cute cat! It would be hard to tell just by looks what breed she is, however I see some possible oriental background with the longer face, perhaps mixed with a domestic shorthair. The best way to find out breed is through a genetic breed test, which usually only requires a cheek swab that is then sent to a lab. It might be worth doing if you're curious about her breed!

Without seeing a picture of your cat, it's impossible for one of the experts to tell you his breed. Unfortunately, you can't share pictures on the forum, but you can request a consult with an expert online so you can share the photo and the expert can give their opinion :-)

Hello. The best anyone can do is call your cat a Domestic Shorthair. Perhaps in the future, we will have the ability to distinguish breeds through DNA , like we can do with dogs now. But, the entire cat genome for every breed has not been established yet. You might check this out, where they can identify by broad geographic breed group where your cat best fits ( https://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/cat/ancestry ). Thanks for using PetCoach.

The best option is to have a Dna breed test done, there are many companies that you can find online that are offering this test. They will send you a kit which you will need to complete and send back to them, it's very simple.

It’s hard to identify most cats breeds based up looks alone and many breeds carry the same traits. If your kitten was found as a stray, she is likely a mixed breed. She has medium length hair and we would call her a Domestic Medium Hair. Many breeds have medium length hair such as the Turkish Angora. If you have many pure bred cats in your area, it’s possible that she is a mix of long haired breed (such as a Persian) and a short haired breed (of which there are many). Regardless, she is beautiful. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!
