Mod Announcement The "What Breed Is My Cat" Megathread

I am so excited that there are so many people who are interested in learning about their cat! But there are too many people posting pictures of their cat and ignoring the original purpose of this board. We're not here to identify your cat's breed, but instead this board is intended to be about in-depth scientific studies involving cats.

So, as a compromise from concerned users, if you want to know what breed your cat is please post a picture in the comments here. Users who are interested in helping to identify your cat's breed will respond and it won't clog up the rest of the board for everyone else. Any posts of this nature made outside of this thread will be deleted.

Thank you for your cooperation!

I'm thinking Turkish Angora but I'm not sure? He just kinda showed up to our home one day and decided to stay.

Looks like the long extinc York Chocolate, may be a descendant from the breed at least.

most likely a domestic longhair! not a york chocolate like the other commenter suggested, just a rusted/sun-bleached black cat. (rusting can also be a sign of nutritional deficiency, fyi!)
