What breed is my new cat?

The vet really isn't sure; she is not quite siamese looking - her face isn't pointy enough. And possibly her legs aren't long enough.....

Tonkinese has been suggested or a siamese cross

Any thoughts?

[quote RickOShay]@KatyMac I think she definitely has burmese in her, but agree we need more pics Smile
@Shellingbynight I have two cats that I think are burmese, two sisters, one is grey and one has Siamese colouring, is that possible?[/quote]
Some Burmese have much more of a 'block colour'. Brown, blue and lilac all look block coloured. If your 'grey' cat is Burmese she'd be called 'blue'.

Other colours are 'pointed' like Siamese - that is, they have a darker head, tail and paws, and a paler body. The red and the chocolate look 'pointed'.

I currently have two chocolate Burmese and most people assume they are Siamese, because that is the only type of cat they can think of with that colouring.

Link below with pics of the Burmese colours, and as you can see from the pics Burmese cats have a very 'rounded' eye shape.
