Hi Andei.. Thanks for visiting and asking. Although, to be honest, I have a problem with identifying cat breeds just from appearance. Most if not all people would have the same problem including experts, because it is not possible to be certain from appearance alone.
If a cat is a fine specimen of a purebred cat then you can say with some conviction that the cat is a certain breed. But you can't say with certainty that a cat is a certain breed just by looking at it.
Appearance alone is not enough. You need evidence in the form of pedigree. These are records kept at cat associations if the cat is registered with the association.
Sometimes purebred cats don't have documented pedigrees. It is quite complicated.
So, about your cat. He is a long haired grey cat that looks like a British Longhair. That is about all you can say, I am afraid.
He may be purebred. He could be a traditional Persian as they are more common that British longhaired cats and he looks like a trad Persian to me. In fact he does have the general feel of a purebred cat. He looks a bit special. But he could still be mixed breed.
But you cannot say without some form of evidence other than appearance - sorry.
This page expands on the subject: What Breed is My Cat
He looks absolutely gorgeous. I wish he were my cat companion.
This is our Fluffy he was a stray with an extremely bad temper, sores and a very matted smelly coat he followed our female home and eventually after about a year advertising and searching for his owner we decided to neuter him and keep him he is now the cleanest mild manered cat you will come across and his coat is beautiful our vet thinks he is probably a persian/ British long hair cross but no matter what breed he is he is our perfect cat would just like to know what he is as I would definately have another.
Here’s a photo
She’s currently in the hospital i will try to upload a better image of her, she looks exactly like the OP’s image but shes a female.
Hi Fukutu. Thanks for commenting. Would you mind, please either uploading a photo to a new comment but make sure it is a small photo or email me the photo (mjbmeister@gmail.com)? You probably have a blue (grey) random bred cat with medium long hair and which resembles a traditional Persian if you cat looks like the one in the article. Your cat is beautiful I suspect.
hi if some one figure out which one is it because i have a cat that really looks exactly like yours and i want to find out as she is currently 16 years old and has kidney failure.
she is very intelligent cat and i would really like to know which breed is that.
thanks.
Thanks Vero. She is a gorgeous cat.
this is anna at 3 months… her dad is a full siberian and her mom is a grey stray. I think it looks similar to ur cat. Cheers, Vero
