What kind of cat do I have?

[geno]

I'm not sure of breeds and all that, but I'm curious to know. The only two breeds I know off the top of my head are Tabby and ... is it Eskimo? and I don't think he's either. We got him a few weeks ago :

I had a Maine my excellent compatriot that looked like that, but I don't know much about the differences in the breeds, so I'm not sure.

Definitely a fuzz butt.

almost looks like a mackeral...

The tabby is not a breed of cat, nor is it a coat color. It's simply a coat pattern. It can show up in combination with a variety of coat colors. A cat's coat can be described as red tabby or gray tabby. Black and blue are colors that usually show up without tabby markings, but with some cats, a faint tabby pattern can actually be noticed. White is the only color that does not have any tabby markings.

yours looks like a mix of different breeds.

Breed: Domestic Medium Hair (random cat of medium hair length)
Colour: Dilute Torbie (combination of tabby and dilute tortoiseshell)

That's what I'd call her.

Him. His name is Dudeson, not a good name for a female if you ask me.

Hmm, interesting. Usually to have orange AND grey they have to be female, or a XXY male. Hermaphrodites are relatively common in cats.

 

[geno]

Maybe it's the camera, but what comes off as orange is more like brown. He was supposedly houseless / homeless up until the Rescue League got him so maybe his fur is just a tad dirty?

 

[rcpratt]

I dunno, but he's rather cute.

 

[Crono]

Cool cat.

Looks like a Maine my excellent compatriot or Norwegian Forest Cat mixed with something else.
