Really curious as I’m not sure. Any one know about cat breeds and can tell me what she looks like?

DLH ,- Domestic Longhair aka moggy.
Your kitten is absolutely gorgeous - but yab (a bit) u by not taking one of the ginger and white kittens as well so she has a playmate.

A beautiful domestic long hair in Tabby.
DLH/DSH are the best many pedigree cats have inherited issues.

Try the app Cat Scanner it's fun not sure how accurate it is. Your 🐈 is gorgeous.

It is fun. However it thinks from some photos that one of my cats is a Maine Coon and his sister is a Nebelung.
They both definitely moggies - but I'm sure will now self identify as upmarket cats 😹

Standard Issue Cat (floofy variety)

GoodVibesHere · 13/08/2022 06:12

Moggy for sure

AwkwardSquad · 13/08/2022 06:12

(And she’s utterly gorgeous)

MarbleGolden · 13/08/2022 06:15

She looks a hell of a lot like my parents Norwegian forest cat. If she is a standard moggy then I think you've gotten hella lucky Grin

She loves this basket!

Thank you everyone! I was going to name her Luna but I decided on Willow. She is very outgoing and cuddly. The cat app came up with Maine coone!

Long haired tabby and very cute too. Not a Maine Coon.

BlueKaftan · 13/08/2022 07:24

Better for her health to be a moggy. Also, she’s as cute as can be! 😻

Lunakitten · 13/08/2022 07:30

Thank you all 🥰

You’d definitely be able to tell from how big mum was if she was even a Maine Coon cross

super cute little moggy

I'm only on here because I knew there would be a kitty pic. Gorgeous wee thing, whatever breed she is.

Me and you both.

Soproudoflionesses · 13/08/2022 07:50

Aarrgghh those eyes!!
What is her name OP? She looks like a Queenie or Precious to me!!

chilliesandspices · 13/08/2022 10:54

Awwww she's adorable. I miss the kitten days!

GodisaBC · 13/08/2022 10:57

Omg I recognise that breed, extremely dangerous and if not handled correctly can kill.
Few people can handle them, I will be round later today to collect.

Paintsplat · 13/08/2022 11:24

I agree with the others about being a moggy (best puss!), if those ear tufts stay when she's an adult she's probably got some maine coon heritage somewhere. She's very cute!

Eunorition · 13/08/2022 11:41

Er, mongrel, like the vast majority of cats in the hands of normal people?

LammasEve · 13/08/2022 11:54

Technically, I would say domestic long hair (for the breed/type to put on insurance) but definitely an adorable little tabby floof ball. What a gorgeous little kitten!

StatisticallyChallenged · 13/08/2022 12:01

I think you'd have known if mum was a Maine Coon as they're generally a lot bigger than average cats. My girl MC is about 17lbs, maybe a bit more, and my youngest (a kitten) was bigger than the average cat and weighing about 14lbs by the time he was about 5.5/6 months. Not weighed him recently but at 8 months he is already a noticeably large cat. Biggest boy was 28lbs at his peak (he's old and shrinking a bit now)

lennylion · 13/08/2022 12:08

She's a cutie-tabby-letmesnuggleyourfoots. HTH
I love her

wherearebeefandonioncrisps · 13/08/2022 12:35

I'm minded to say that Maine Coons have pointier ears that are a bit longer too.
I could be wrong.

I think you've got. DLH tabby.

Pancakeorcrepe · 13/08/2022 12:45

She is a Cutie McCuteface kitty.
