Hi everyone, we adopted these beautiful sisters a few weeks ago from a charity. They thought there might be some ragdoll there but I am curious as to what you all think TIA!

Can anyone identify these breeds?!

Don't know, but they are gorgeous!

GoldenGlobes · 22/01/2024 18:30

They really are the most lovely-natured cats. Both love to sit on laps/shoulders! Super loud purrs!

I suspect they are moggies, albeit with quite unusual (and very pretty) markings.

catelynjane · 22/01/2024 18:41

Moggies. The best breed!

If you are really invested, you can get one of those Wisdom Panel DNA kits for cats - I just got one to see what other breeds my Manx mix is.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/01/2024 18:43

There us an app you can download called cat scanner breed recognition. It can be very unreliable but it's good for a laugh. One of our cats (from some photos) is identified as a Maine Coon, wheras his sister is shown as a Nebelung).
They are both Battersea mogs 🤣.

Gorgeous cats. I think some tabby point Birman and some Ragdoll in the mix

Toddlerteaplease · 22/01/2024 18:50

The short haired one looks like snow shoe.

Toddlerteaplease · 22/01/2024 18:51

The long haired one looks half Persian.

GoldenGlobes · 22/01/2024 18:56

Thank you all! They are both so mild natured but also so, so clumsy! I will definitely download the app and investigate DNA kit.

@seeotter it does say Burmese/Ragdoll on their adoption papers but they did say they weren’t sure. They were street kittens.

I particularly like Zorro's markings 😂.
Report back on what the app says.

GoldenGlobes · 22/01/2024 19:02

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats 😁 my son has named her ‘Batgirl’ because of her markings!

Your son has excellent taste in names 👍

GoldenGlobes · 22/01/2024 19:46

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats he is going through a Marvel phase. And they are rather Marvel-lous to be fair!

So… I downloaded the app and got 81% ragdoll for the longhair and 99% snowshoe for the shorthair!

HeBeaverandSheBeaver · 22/01/2024 20:06

I thought
Birman too.

whirlyhead · 22/01/2024 20:19

I have an (angry) seal tabby point birman who does look a bit like one of yours (see pissed off photo of him!)

Can anyone identify these breeds?!
whirlyhead · 22/01/2024 20:21

to add, a tabby point will have a letter “m” on their forehead and a white bow tie marking between their nose and mouth.

Both of your kitties are absolutely beautiful though!

GoldenGlobes · 22/01/2024 20:21

@whirlyhead aww, he does look a lot like my girly! 🥰

OP posts:
GoldenGlobes · 22/01/2024 20:23

Hmm, she doesn’t have those markings

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 22/01/2024 20:41

I really wouldn't read too much into the app btw.
This is apparently my 98.6% Nebelung cat.
Except she isn't. She's a Battersea mog and having met all her siblings and her mum she clearly isn't 98.6% of anything except mog 🤣.
As I said earlier - your cats are gorgeous regardless of their pedigree or lack of it.

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats aww, she is lovely! Oh, absolutely. My girls are very much loved, whatever their heritage 😁 I was just curious!
