Those cat breed apps say Maine coon, Norwegian forest cat and Siberian. I know how much folks hate people saying they 'have a Maine coon' without having an actual Maine coon. So I'm curious... What floof category do you think she belongs to?
Yes! Standard issue with the Luxury Floof upgrade: see guide here (aka just a regular ol’ tabby domestic longhair). Generally If you don’t get the cat from a breeder it’s just a regular domestic shorthair or longhair; cats don’t really have breeds like dogs do.
Funny story about SICs - last year my bf and I adopted a cat from the humane society through the cat cafe that works with them. We applied the day before for a cat we had been playing with and really bonded with
Next day we show up and give them the cat's info, and they can't find her 😂 they scanned the chips for all the SICs that were there and turns out they gave us the name/age of a DIFFERENT cat that hid the whole time we were there. The cat we were actually bonding with was a completely different cat who looked the same as the other 3 lol
Ended up working out and we went home with Ivy even though we thought her name was Maya the day before ❤️😂
This is a lovely feature of SICs. They may all look alike, but there's some sneaky stuff somewhere in that floof that separates them all.
Same cat different name, I dig it. I got a purebred siamese cat from an old lady's estate, and her daughter didn't like his name. So she told us he was Franky, after frank Sinatra, old blue eyes. But we went to the Vet and found out his real name is Minou. She thought it was too feminine or something.
Minou is the name of a 1987 book about a spoiled Siamese cat named Minou who lived with a rich old lady and enjoyed many perks! Then, her lady died, with no provision for Minou. She must learn to feed herself and how to escape from predators and find shelter. Which she did, in exchange for a job of her own. In the process she tours all of the best places in Paris (each with charming watercolor paintings!) At Notre Dame, where she handled the mouse problem for the priests, she was paid in milk! There, she found her shelter and her sustenance. On her own terms. To her great pride and joy.
This book is great to teach young women that being smart and independent is a joy! But it really does not have the best of messages for kitties, who should be pampered and cared for, not left to fend for themselves outdoors. The book is beautiful. A tour of Paris. With kitties. So it is OK. ☺️❤️
Thank u for taking him!!!
My pleasure. He's my little buddy!
is Buddy a SIC? or is he just a brown and grey tabby, is there a difference?
I believe that’s a hotrod model of SIC, but the true experts are at r/standardissuecat if you’re looking for official judgement.
okay thank you lol. The guide said there was a different category for piebalds so I was confused
No. Just tabby. Covers any like this pic. Yellow, grey, maybe brown or lots of brown. Just tabby's. All have an M on forehead. Saying goes Mohamed blessed them with M on forehead. Never seen a tabby without this mark.
That cat went back a few times at the floof bar.
Dropped in to make sure this was covered here. Thanks!
Fluffy. Also seems chill but inside is saying fuck around and find out. 😅
Correct answer. Exactly what I said when I saw the beautiful floof.
Felinus Floofus. a majestic breed
Fluff around and find out
Norwegian floofus cat
I have no idea, I just wanted to say that your cat is magnificent
Thank you! She is one of the loves of my life 😹😻
I love her but I’m biased! This is Sammie 🥰
We all have the same cat. I think Kiki spends hours a day under the bed, where I cannot get to her. In fact, she is off with you people.
Looks a lot like my boy Mr. Pepper
Lol. We do all have the same cat. This is Schmoopie. Had her for 20 years, before she passed.
Her scottish cousin ?
My god!! Look at that tummy floof
My floof <3
She looks like she has some Norwegian forest cat in her, or could be a long hair cat. the reason why I think NFC is because of the points in the ears and the triangular face with the cheeks lining up to the ears. But I wouldn't advise posting her in the NFC reddit b/c they seem to get bitchy because "everyone thinks their cat is an NFC" you will never know unless you do a dna test but it's fun to speculate. My kitty looks just like this and I think she's a weegie too.
There’s a really good chart someone posted once that shows how the vast majority of cats have developed without human selection breeding to create breeds. The breeds that have been developed are typically expensive and not nearly as common. The odds of someone having a legit purebred cat from a shelter is next to none.
I have two Norwegian Forest Floofus cats 😂❤️
I dunno but he is majestic!!! 😍
I got a cowgirl
My cowboy lol
My cat, Cowcat.
Whoop to the heard of cows! lol handsome fella !
Hello from your cow friends 🖤🤍
Howdy ma'am 🤠
The proper greeting is meowdy
Love it 😁
With the AirTag upgrade!
The way she's sitting 😭 I love her
That beeing said, its body looks like a sib, but he has a big snoot like many maine coons have. I don't see norvegian though.
Just say you have a big floofy kitten. It's enough. Who even cares? Breeds are only usefull for shows and competitions. That's it. Your cat isn't better or cooler if it's a breed and in no case boring or less good if it isn't. Plus it's not a dog, it's not like "he likes this and this, it must be his maine coon side haha" no. A cat is a cat, breed or not, every individual is different.
Simple but effective chart
I stole it from this post. People have been asking mods to ban the "what breed is my cat" posts for ages, but for some reason I don't get, they don't. I dunno, I'm not saying people making these posts are bad or stupid, but they make me a bit sad. The reasoning behind them seems a tad vain to me.
If your cat was "just" a domestic longhair/shorthair, would you love him the same amount? Would you still think it's the most special and bestest kitty in the whole world? Yes? Then what difference does it make? No? Then maybe you don't want a pet, maybe you want a rare and pretty item.
I know it sounds a bit harsh and black and white, but the more I think about cat breeds, the more this subject makes me sad. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm always open for a good debate.
(And don't even get me started on their price, the impact breeding has on their health and the fact that cats are an invasive species and that we don't need breeders to produce more)
You are doing good work, please keep it up.
Floofus catius furrious
Unless you got her from a breeder, safe to assume domestic LH.
Maine Coons have a very distinct look
She's gorgeous, but I don't see any Maine Coon resemblance, aside from the fact that she's longhaired. Any cat that doesn't have papers from a breeder is considered domestic short/longhair, or sometimes known as "standard issue cat".
This. Unless you have papers from a breeder, it’s a cat. That’s it. Enjoy it and stop trying to figure out if it’s a foreigner or not.
Looks similar to my floof
Looks similar to my first cat. The softest floofness!
Shelters like to call all long haired cats Maine coon since people love Maine coons.
I work at a vet clinic, unless someone has paperwork/proof their cat is a certain breed, domestic (hair length) is what gets put for the breed lol
She is beautiful!!!! 😍
Absolute Beauty, and is a DLH for sure 🥰
Looks like my kuku 😊
Maine Coons have a very specific facial look. There’s tons of domestic longhairs that have no relation to any breeds (other than both being the same species, of course).
No Maine Coon whatsoever. Lacks tufts. Face is not blocky.
Wow her eye shape/eyes are beautiful. Very Disney princess vibes! Definitely just a domestic long hair but a beautiful one at that. Maine coons have a very distant look, and they’re massive haha.
The identical twin sister to my darling sweet Sadie, RIP
Bonus shot
I love 'Bonus shot'. What an absolute beauty
Wow this cat is extra beautiful
This big boy is a purebred maine coon. He was over 20 pounds. I’m holding him and I’m 6’2”. Due to his position it’s hard to see how big he is but I’d guess 4-5 feet long including from tip of nose to tip of the tail.
My boy is a foot shorter than this. However he isn't mainecoon. He's just a domestic medium hair who must have inherited all of his parent's large genes.
I am also so jealous you get to wear colored tops at work. Before my current job I hoarded the tackiest dog and cat prints I could find. But I have a uniform :(
Omg so HANDSOME!! I’m obsessed!! ♥️♥️♥️
A Triangle fluff Wizard
The glorious kind
Her exact breed is "very beautiful girl".
Flonk confirmed
Majestic floof.
Don't know if it's Norwegian, Siberian or Maine Coon. Could be a mix of either or all or it's just one.
A gorgeous one at that.
Domestic Long hair
What an intense gaze.
Mine has the same- an undercoat!
I love the term “Ukrainian Blue.” My husband and I are Ukrainian and started referring to our kitty as that instead as well. ☺️
A very very cute one
What you have there OP is affectionately known as A fking UNIT! Big boi 😻
Sunshine floof!
With the extra extra floofy upgrade package and solar charging option installed.
My cousin's boy seems to be the same brand.
But he is a vampire.
Goofball breed
Tabby cats are the commonest colour cat. There are millions and millions around the world. Some of them have short hair and some of them have long hair. Actual breeds of cat whatever colour are rare and only very rarely breed with regular cats as they tend to be kept in and neutered when they are pets. There were longhaired cats centuries before anyone decided to make breeds out if them. I don't know why people have the idea there is something exotic about them.
Oh, my brother has one of those!
That's a cat
Photo of a Siberian forest cat I saw on Google. Looks like the same cat tbh. Maybe you have a cute little sunkissed Siberian forest cat.
looks nothing like OPs cat tho. compare the mouth, OPs has a literal gigachad jaw thing going on. Plus this one lacks the extra fluff on the tip of its ears. Im willing to bet OP has a maine coon
It's far too small for a full Maine coon, or Siberian
What a magnificient fur baby!
Freshly baked bread, at current rate of heat exposure, will soon become toasted bread.
In UK parlance that would be a mid-length haired cat, or long haired cat. No breed just like all cats a special demi gods

A floofy one! Domestic long hair! Most cats have no relation to any particular breed. If you didn't get them from a breeder, chsnces are, they aren't a breed.
Long haired domestic beautiful mutt

The best kind 🙂
I don't know why, but this cat reminds me of a wise old man 😊
Certified fluffy boi ❤️
A big, majestic fluffybutt!!! Please tell your cat that I love them, give them a kiss, and scratch their favorite spot.
Will do! Haha
Other than a fluffy one, I'd say just a normal tabby cat.
Pillow pet
Your car looks like a Volkswagen Beetle
A noble floof!
My cat looks a lot like yours. Pella is about 15 percent each of Maine Coon, ragdoll, American shorthair (who'd have thought), and generic Western cat birds. The other 40 percent is a mix of everything
These posts are so annoying. Papers from the breeder are the only thing that can tell you what breed your cat is, if it even is one. 99% of cats are just “domestic longhair/shorthair” it’s silly and sounds very unintelligent to say “oh they’re part Maine coon bc they’re fluffy”. Whatever cat breed app you’re using sounds like it’s spouting bs
Long haired domestic tabby

She looks so close to my cat!
WOW I would have 100% assumed that was my cat if someone said they took this photo of her.
That's crazy! What's your cat's name and personality like?
That's uncanny. I totally got an oxytocin boost when I opened the picture, they are T W I N S.
An XL turtle
I’m sure this just muddies the waters, but I petted this Norwegian forest cat in Norway yesterday.
The head shape is that of a Siberian. Technically, without papers, she's a domestic longhair, but there may be some siberian in her lineage. My cat is half siberian and looks about the same.
One of the most beautiful cats I've ever seen. Maybe Main Coon? Whatever just adore it.

She is known as a “very good fluffy baby.” Proper care involves plenty of pets and treats.
I don't see the thing. Where is the cat breed tutorial?
A pretty one. Shes such a pretty girl. I bet she's a good girl too. Give her a treat

I would definitely agree that this is a majestic cat. What a photogenic creature!
I don’t know but I want it SO BAD right now. Talk about cuddles?! Puddles n puddles of them
She is a five star cuddler.
Looks just like mine. Vet said a mutt but mixed with Maine coon somewhere.
Looks identical to me // his name is Caramel 🫶🏼
similar one to yours but younger
That is a standard issue floofy cat (also known as a domestic long-haired tabby cat). Class: chonker.
We have standard fluffy cats :)
Domestic longhair
Cat's aren't domesticated in the same way dogs are. So there aren't too many recognized breeds. They are all domestic long hair or short hair.
A majestic floof cat
You’ve got yourself a lovely domestic longhair cat!
Domestic Longhair. If there's no papers there's no breed.

See that nice "M" on her forehead? That's a tabby cat. That there is a longhair domestic tabby cat. Also known as a fluffball.
Fluffy. That's it.
When someone asks what colour it is. It's fluffy. Sex? Fluffy. Personality? Fluffy + other feature. Type? Fluffy.
When you got a fluffy cat, unless it's a Norwegian snow cat it's just fluffy.
Since nobody has answered, you have a domestic longhair lol
You’ve been awarded a star.🌟
