Want to guess the breed mix of FL's new kitten?

[FinnishLapphund]

I brought home a new kitten today, and I thought I would let people guess her breed mix if anyone wants to. Dad is purebred, and mum is a green eyed mix between two others breeds. I'm thinking I might reveal the answer around 24 hours after posting this.

I haven't 100/% decided on her name, but I'm leaning towards Essy, a nickname for Estrid. I've never had a green eyed cat before, but unless the light is tricking me, it looks like her eyes are more green than yellow.
So far she's both growled, and hissed quite loudly at seeing Blomma, and Fröjdis not understanding her reaction was about Blomma, started hissing back... Oh, and she's not only eaten some of her kitten food, without I've also seen her eat a little bit or two of our cat litter. I'm guessing she's used to another type of cat litter.

Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat, possibly Siberian

She is absolutely beautiful love her colouring

 

[YorksG]

I have absolutely no idea of her breed, but she is exceptionally beautiful.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

It simply doesn't matter what breed, she is just gorgeous!

 

[Rumtytum]

No idea here on breed either but she is gorgeous ! Looks sassy too so I’m anticipating a few posts in the “Worst Thing the Cat’s Done” thread

 

[rabatsa]

I think that there is forest cat in her. Not a clue on the rest.

Definitely this!

 

[julesjoy]

Oh my gosh I want! Maine coone, ragdoll and forest cat?

 

[ycbm]

Green eyes is the most common in the UK FL, I'm really interested that it's yellow in Sweden. She's definitely green at the moment, and stunningly gorgeous.

 

[Surbie]

There looks like there's Norwegian forest cat in there - is she going to be a biggun?

She is very, very beautiful. I bet she brings you many gifts.

 

[fetlock]

She’s a little beauty

 

[Pinkvboots]

Beautiful cat whatever she is

 

[pinkfluffy]

No idea on breed but she's absolutely beautiful!

 

[Ratface]

Whatever breeds she contains, she's really beautiful. I forsee plenty of "Don't You Know Who I Am?" moments!
Madam Carrie Cat is willing to advise your cat on the basics of How To Train Your Cat Slave. She is busy writing the book.

 

[Lady Jane]

She is gorgeous. Main Coon is my guess at one of the breeds?

 

[palterwell]

I think Norwegian Forest Cat but I don’t know what else. I’m trying type with a Forest cat on my lap

That's interesting. But do you mean genuinely green, or do you mean hazel = yellow with green hue? I've always heard that shades of yellow to amber, closely followed by hazel are the overall most ordinary cat eye colours.

I'm going for Forest cat too. I'm rubbish with cat breeds though.

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

She's lovely, whatever the mix x
E is part FC (50%), part MC (25%) and the last dollop is DLH lol , looking forward to discovering her breeding x

 

[P3LH]

Birman, Maine coon NFC? She is incredibly pretty, I’m very envious.

 

[Fjord]

Looking at the ears I'd say a bit of Maine Coon in there?

She's absolutely gorgeous!

 

[splashgirl45]

Beautiful cat, my first thought was rag doll and then for some reason Siamese , I’ve no idea really

Every moggie (unspecified breeding) cat we've ever had (11) were true green eyes (to my eyes at least) except one. My last ginger had amber eyes.

one of my current two.

 

[Bellasophia]

Persian Abyssinian cross?
this came to mind..then I looked one up..could be?

 

[oldandgold]

Not a clue, but she is stunning.

 

[Apercrumbie]

25% beautiful, 25% stunning and 50% gorgeous

I need to see photos of said Forest Cat we had a moggy when I was a teenager and we suspect she had FC in her - absolutely gorgeous breed, love their little chirrups and personality - if I had a massive house I'd have ragdolls and forest cats, maybe a couple of Siberians too!

 

[palterwell]

I‘ve never managed to put a photo on here ! i adopted Max last year, I didn’t know anything about Norwegian Forest cats but when I saw him I knew he was coming home with me. He’s black and huge now but he was completely hairless when I first saw him. He is the best companion ever

Okay, time for the reveal, 3 people have mentioned 2 of the breeds involved, @julesjoy , @P3LH , and @splashgirl45 .

Dad is purebred Ragdoll.
Mum is Russian Blue + Birman, looks almost like a purebred Russian Blue with emerald green eyes, but with a bit of longer, fuzzier hair on her body.
That's why the green eyes where a hint, according to what I've read, most Russian Blues have emerald green coloured eyes (and they don't get their adult eye colour until 4-6 months old).

As a mix breed it's of course a bit more difficult to guess her adult size @Surbie , but I don't think she's going to get that big.

Please send Essy's most kindest regards to Carrie Cat @Ratface for offering to share info on how to turn humans into slaves, but it lives a big monster with fur in a lion cut called Blomma in this home, and I'm at the moment fully occupied with trying to figure out if she eats kittens or not.

Anyhow, here's a picture of Essy sitting in Blomma's food bowl (probably trying to check what it is Blomma actually eats), for anyone who comes back to this thread to find out the answer to her mix of breeds.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Interesting mix of breeds, really surprised there's no forest cat!

Ragdolls are the best

She doesn't half look like she's got character she's going to keep you on your toes and looks like she knows exactly how to get what she wants!
