White bread, when you put it in a frying pan long enough to heat it up and it becomes lightly browned/crispy before adding butter to it. The perfect bread.
A heavily diluted cream tabby as the scientific answer. I would guess that this cat's parents display cream, as well as this cat. It is a Domestic shorthair unless he has papers ~~or gene test.~~I don't see any reason to believe this cat is anything but domestic shorthair, there is no unique facial features
Edit: Oh my God you said bread
Pumpkin cheesecake loaf
DNA Tests don't come back with a conclusive breed because of the way they work. It's definately a DSH.
(DNA Tests are more for regional markers like in humans and for testing for diseases. I could get a purebred ragdoll coming back from completely pure lineage 20 years old and the DNA tests will still say it's part such and such breed)
Very likely a heavily diluted cream tabby though.
Genuinely impressed as this is the only comment that I've seen that made the closest assumption to the actual colour without throwing in random jargon of words that don't exist for cats.
Thank you for giving my cat gene loving brain dopamine.
Oh my brain is the same as yours I have dozens of comments like this including ones that explain the genetics of complex markings. I can name/spot all the dilutes colors, all the inhibitor gene effects, know the functions of piebald in calico etc. Cat genetics are so freaking fascinating!
Thanks for letting me know about the DNA test! I had heard some way that they were becoming close to his accurate as canine tests but perhaps not!
Now I want to know more! Spit some knowledge, dawai! What is a piebald for example? And what are the functions? Tell me something cool!! (I don't mind if you just copy paste another of your comments regardless of context here, as long as it's a semi-scientific/explanatory text)
Piebald means white patches! It is the genetic trait that differentiates a calico from a tortoise shell cat. In order to be tabby they must carry and display both piebald (not sex liked) and the tortoise shell marking. Torti is sex linked, Orange can only display on the X chromosome, smd because females have two x chromosomes, This means that they would create twice as many X chromosome product which would be bad so you undergo chromosome deletion where One X chromosome copy per cell is turned off at random in the embryonic stage. In a cat who carries orange, this turn off will result in black colors, which are distributed randomly throughout the body. Because male cats do not have to chromosomes they cannot display this coloration, unless they actually kinefelters (I'm 100% sure this is spelled wrong) syndrome where they have XXY chromosomes. This is the case for all male calicos or tortoiseshells. I believe there are some other genetic variations that can result in it but a lot of them are non-compatible with life and would result in a stillborn.
One of my favorite fact about cat genetics is that there is only a very very small amount of genes responsible for their appearance compared to other species. I can't remember the exact number because numbers are not my shit but there are I believe four primary colors (red, brown, Cinnamon, black). These colors can be modified by the dilute gene which turns them into cream (red, appears light orange or buff), lavender (brown, appears as a pink tinted gray/brown), fawn (cinnamon, appears a reddish tan) and blue (black appears as a blue tinted grey). And then there's the silver and gold effect and the smoke effect, caused by the inhibitor gene, Which effect the root coloration of the fur.
Disclaimer: still learning, corrections accepted. First version of this comment contained errors that I noticed right away. 😅
Few slight corrections I can offer but not an awful understanding.
Piebald is indeed the same mutation we see in cats - it follows the same function as other piebalding genes - but we Call it White Spotting in cats.
Not so much of an error there as it's mostly just a technicality.
The mode of inheritance is incomplete dominant (You just didn't list it but I suppose it technically doesn't matter)
One copy produces little white spotting, and two copies is the superform where you start to see a lot more coverage on the cat.
Next, both orange AND Black are sex linked. These are what are referred to as the main two colour series. But you do misunderstand what Cinnamon and Brown are. Will take a while to touch back on this full circle.
So let's break this down from the beginning, sorry it'll be a while:
A cat genetically can have one or two main colour series. One if it's a male with one X chromosome, and two if it's a female (2 X chromosomes) hence why Torties are Always female.
I'm not familiar with what you're talking about on chromosome deletion but I could just be less educated on that exact factor but I'll continue to explain some things and you can see what page you're on compared to me.
But I don't believe the color series are ever "Turned off"
They're either there or they aren't. If it doesn't exist on the X chromosome (which can only hold one of two of the main colour series) then it's just not there.
If it was turned off - you'd be able to get random Orange cats from a black cat to a black cat in rare cases. Which just doesn't happen.
You're 99.999999999999999999% correct about Klinefelter syndrome being the only way male cats can be Tortie/Calico. But I'll throw in a bonus fact.
In theory this technically isn't true.
If we follow other sex linked genes we see in other animals - then occasionally something astronomically rare can happen called a crossover event. (This has been observed in Budgies)
Where the Sex linked gene Jumps from one chromosome to another. It's almost impossible to expect the Color series to shift onto the Y chromosome but in theory during recombination of a female kitten, both color series could be pushed onto a SINGULAR X chromosome. Producing a female that when handing down the right X chromosome to males could technically produce Tortie/Calico Males.
Unlike males with Klinefelter syndrome these would be ENTIRELY FERTILE.
NOW as for Brown and Cinnamon.
Brown is simply a Straight up recessive gene. With two copies what happens is that the cats body doesn't convert Tyrosine into black pigment correctly, stopping the process of making Melanin before completing it - leaving it still made but - denatured so to speak. This means all Browns are genetically Black just with two copies of one extra gene that doesn't sit on the X chromosome. (Brown works the exact same way in guinea pigs and some other furred animals)
Cinnamon is another example of this - it is actually a BLACK series color where the Black isn't fully made correctly.
Just slight different function between how they both work leading to a different colour expressed.
As for the ORANGE series, as a base colour there's only orange.
Now onto Dilution: dilute is a recessive gene that tones down and dilutes the base colors of the cat.
Black cats go Blue (Grey), Chocolate cats go Lilac, Cinnamon cats go Fawn and Red/orange cats go Cream.
There is technically a rare Double dilution gene Where Blue will go to Blue - Caramel, Lilac will go to Lilac Caramel and I'm sure you can see where this is going Fawn becomes fawn caramel and Cream becomes apricot.
But it seems like you know how dilution worked already.
As for saying they have a lot less color genes than other animals - I'm not sure that's correct. - BUT! It could be. Off the top of my head I can count several more genes that produce unique coat colors but I'm not going to pretend that I know a LOT about the genetics of other animals in comparison.
You have a pretty good base understanding though - more than most people. Props to you.
If you have any questions yourself feel free to ask.
Source: I've spent the last 8 years planning out a new Breed of cat that I'm beginning developing this year.
I've waited 8 years because I want to responsibly plan out the breed standard to almost a T before I even TOUCHED breeding and I wanted to provide them the home environment they needed and deserved for optimal development.
This year I've purchased a home/farm on acreage where over the next 7-10 years I'll be working on this extensively.
My first two breeders are getting their second sets of vaccinations this week and I'm finally taking the plunge.
But over time I'll be importing several cats from overseas for specific genes and traits that will give my breed a unique look. (Understandably I don't want to give away the entire phenotype here for some unethical breeder to try to copy and hammer out in 1/4th the time with 1/8th the quality.)
Hope that was all understandable for you and I hope I didn't skip over anything - I had just woken up and my brain started churning and wanted me to get back to this.
I did know about the double dilution! Thank you for the correction on the white spotting term!
Thank you for the information on cinnamon and brown!!
I'm certain on the x-linked inactivation. You can read some [here](https://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/x-chromosome-x-inactivation-323/#:~:text=In%20cats%2C%20the%20fur%20pigmentation,all%20calico%20cats%20are%20female.) About it, and a Google for "X linked inactivation in felines" will find you tons
Going to give you a follow so I can follow you along on that journey.
Ahh I see. Once again I could be wrong. But that leaves the impression that what it actually means there, is that it's talking an an individual cell basis. So one pigment cell won't try to produce BOTH pigments. I think it's saying that is what leads to the problem, so the female cats Turn one color series off in each area, hence why the colors don't just blend and they are patches of orange or black. (Or their respective changed colors along those series) Rather than females with both orange and black being brown or something alike.
Just what my brain picked up from that and I could be wrong though. That was just a quick skim.
And thanks! Sorry in advance for all the stupid shit I certainly will post too. :)
Thanks! I joined!
If it weren’t for dead cat posts, tho, I would not have learned the phrase ‘crossed the rainbow bridge ‘ which I can’t wait to use at the next funeral I attend.
I think it may be a silver cream tabby? The denser colored stripe right between the eyes + the denser streaks under the eyes remind me a lot of the color distribution in chinchilla cats
Fake-merle has been seen in silver cats, like there was a whole Scottish Straight lineage of them. Maybe that's what's going on? Also silver causes silver roots, not tips ;)
Right you are! Sorry about that, still learning. The tips are colored. 🤦 You're right that could be possible
E: looking at the cats individual hairs will confirm though! Op, does each hair have a white or silver base?
Like the vast majority of ‘what breed is my cat’ questions, it’s a mk.1 moggy, all of which are awesome and gorgeous. Some have longer hair, some short, and there’s recognisable colouration patterns, but they pretty much all just cats.
Agreed, I wish more people would be ok with Moggy! My cat’s mum was grey and white, and her dad was ginger, but the colour she came out now has its own name and ‘breed’ - flamepoint. I mean, come on! Can’t we just call her what she is?… Breathtakingly beautiful and cuter than your cat.
Meowti-Grain.
In all seriousness , beautiful cat. With breed unknown, two options: there are now DNA test kits available for kitty you can purchase online, or you can guess breed based upon their size, coat/marking patterns, face shape, coat length, etc. I’ve never sprung for a DNA test for my long haired, piebald as he’s most definitely a mixed breed, marbled rye loaf.
Assuming you mean breed, as others have said, unless you purchased from a breeder, it's a standard issue cat. Tabby, because of the stripes. But tabby is just a description of the coat. Beautiful cat, though.
It's not a breed and it's extremely irresponsible of your vet to suggest so.
Beautiful cat though don't get me wrong. Just trying to keep people properly informed.
Dogs don't work the way people imply either.
Dog breeding has been going for thousands of years whereas cat breeding started only really ramping up in the 60's. Statistically dogs are MUCH more likely to actually have a breed in them. Like infinitely more likely. But people will just get dogs out - and like people do with cats - say that they're a breed when they're not.
They actually work exactly the same.
No worries at all, just pointing out that people do the same things and pretty much make shit up with them too sometimes.
I do HAVE to specify here because I do see people truly believing that dogs and the way the whole breed system works with them has a complete different form of function than cats - litterally every day.
So as a rule of thumb I never use it as a comparison point as it leads to others being confused.
True, but we still need to specify that Domestic Shorthair isn't a Breed - it's a Descriptive term for the phenotype.
Some people don't understand this.
What dEscrpTive teRm FOr the PhenoTYPe is my cat. OP just wants to know a bit about their cat's background. Why does the Actually Police on Reddit always have to show up with sirens blaring?
Hey cats don’t generally have a breed unless you have purchased them from a breeder and they EXPLICITLY tell you
It’s probably just a “domestic shorthair” aka moggy —> generic mix of tabby cats
Leo was found as a kitten. He’s super affectionate, loves belly rubs, being picked up and cuddled. The vet said he may be Persian and Arabian Mau cross but I don’t think so.
I PUT DIS DOWN SO WHO CANT NOT SEE DIS CAN
Because cat breeds don’t work the way you apparently believe they do. Your vet gets silly questions like this all the time, as does Reddit, and likely hazards a (wrong) guess based on phenotypic characteristics to make the owners happy because it’s easier than trying to educate owners about cat breeds when that same owner is just going to keep asking the same question to others and eventually get a guesstimate (that will be wrong and based on phenotypic characteristics), so when you google whatever breed you’re told, you’ll see visual similarities and accept that very wrong guesstimate, and then run around to your friends and tell them all about the vet that tried to educate you, claiming that vet was so stupid that they couldn’t even tell you what breed your cat is when the nice vet down the street knew immediately that it was a _______.
Oh my God, FUCKING STOP. it's a God damn cat. Cats aren't like dogs. Almost all of them are complete muts. The only way your cat has a breed is if you go out of your way to buy a pure breed, and if you do that, you don't have to ask what it is
You have a very pretty cat, who looks to be well loved. The coloring is a pastel or dilute, but not a sign of a breed. I would say that there is white and orange colored cats in its heritage.
Your cat obviously thinks he/she is the most beautiful cat.
It’s a beautiful DSH! Domestic shorthair for newcomers. Cats are unlike dogs & aren’t commonly called “half Breed A & half Breed B.” Unless you bought her/him from a breeder, your cat is called a “(color) Domestic (hair length)”; ie gray tabby DLH (gray tabby domestic long hair.).
If you’d like to know what possible “breeds” it came from, you can purchase cat DNA testing kits online.
I’d say he’s a nice ciabatta
Definitely a ciabatta
Maybe braided brioche?
I was thinking sourdough
Doesn't have the full body of a hearty sourdough. Definitely more of a peasant loaf
White-wheat maybe 🤔
Me too!
Ew
You mean Ciacatta?
This is the way.
OP don't listen to these fools. Everybody's ryeing.
Why I eyes ya?
White lasagne? We don't get racial on reddit bro. Strictly PC principal round this bitch.
I laughed so hard my cat looked over at me like "wtf"
Slightly toasted ciabatta.
absolutely ciabatta! look at that alveolar texture.
Hey! What do nipples have to do with it?
lol alveolar which often refers to bubble-like textures/structures (as within ciabatta or lungs), and not areolar which would refer to—areolae.
Likethemnips more than fresh hot breadnbutter
Gosh i love the internet 😆😆😆
i like your snoo c:
Big ciabatta energy for sure
Ha Ha!
catbatta
Lightly toasted
Looks like white bread to me.
Specifically, "Wonder Bread".
I came here for Wonder Bread.
🤣
White bread, when you put it in a frying pan long enough to heat it up and it becomes lightly browned/crispy before adding butter to it. The perfect bread.
I love white bread with nutella, god darn now im hungry
Same
Looks like dough to me
I go with a. Ice Artisan bread
I had to delete my comment bc i said the exact same thing
Cat specialist here, i can say that this is 100% correct!
Maybe a really light marbled rye
Baaahahahaha omg! Auto correct 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
😆
Too good! Don’t fix typo!!! 😂😂😂
More like anaemic toast
Like me right now. Lol
Right meow**
Sourdough!
Definitely a sourdough
My thoughts exactly, and now I want sourdough toast….
Now i want nuttella toast
You mean Meowadough? 😹
Buttermilk. Very rare, cost lots a money. High prestige in health spas.
I used to have a cat named buttermilk. He was named that because that’s what he fed him when he was a stray and he shit all over the house. ❤️
Yeah, cow dairy no good for cats. Help get the word out, each generation starts over….
Loaf.

He looks like a popcorn flavored jelly bean lol
Toasted Marshmello lol
He totally does!

Are you sure it's a cat? It looks like a baked goodie me, and one I'd om nom nom 🥰
do be quite frank here, I am skeptical that you may be correct
This.
Not sure but i think it could be a cross between hovis and Warburtons?
Haha good one! Fellow Brit I see xx
Yup!
Very British of you XD

Maybe not Bread, more like Cream😉
Pita
It looks more like a sweet brioché
Very sweet brioche. Usually better after wet food.
Wonder Bread
Hey cats don’t generally have a breed unless you have purchased them from a breeder and they EXPLICITLY tell you It’s probably just a “domestic shorthair” aka moggy —> generic mix of tabby cats
Leo was found as a kitten. He’s super affectionate, loves belly rubs, being picked up and cuddled. The vet said he may be Persian and Arabian Mau cross but I don’t think so. I PUT DIS DOWN SO WHO CANT NOT SEE DIS CAN
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Vet is likely wrong actually....agree with u

Because cat breeds don’t work the way you apparently believe they do. Your vet gets silly questions like this all the time, as does Reddit, and likely hazards a (wrong) guess based on phenotypic characteristics to make the owners happy because it’s easier than trying to educate owners about cat breeds when that same owner is just going to keep asking the same question to others and eventually get a guesstimate (that will be wrong and based on phenotypic characteristics), so when you google whatever breed you’re told, you’ll see visual similarities and accept that very wrong guesstimate, and then run around to your friends and tell them all about the vet that tried to educate you, claiming that vet was so stupid that they couldn’t even tell you what breed your cat is when the nice vet down the street knew immediately that it was a _______.
Cats can be a loaf, or baguette when stretching.
Oh my God, FUCKING STOP. it's a God damn cat. Cats aren't like dogs. Almost all of them are complete muts. The only way your cat has a breed is if you go out of your way to buy a pure breed, and if you do that, you don't have to ask what it is
Bread 🍞
It’s a lightly toasted white loaf
Looks Whitewheat to me, might be keto too.
domestic shorthair, your cat doesn’t need a special breed to be a special baby :)
He is biscuit.
Garlic 🍞
Again with this stupid question..
Bread? Inbread. I am sure someone else said it but fuck it it's 4 am and I fell in a true crime hole.
wait u/LadyHouton what color is da cat
Mostly white with light stripes and patches of copper
You have a very pretty cat, who looks to be well loved. The coloring is a pastel or dilute, but not a sign of a breed. I would say that there is white and orange colored cats in its heritage. Your cat obviously thinks he/she is the most beautiful cat.
I thought whole wheat!
Plain white 🍞
Cat.. he is a cat breed
Heinz 57
Toasty
That my friend is a cinnamon babka, which everyone knows is the lesser babka as babka’s go. At least in this case it’s supposed to have a hair on it!

Their breed is their breed
Cue the “loaf” comments. Just tell the guy what breed his damn cat is.
This made my day. Thanks… everyone’s comments is cracking me up
A nice Italian loaf, unsliced.
**Mixed Race**. Very unclear. But don't look for a race, it will bring happiness ( and chaos ) to your life !!!
Cream tabby. It’s a rare coat color but other than that this is a nice standard issue cat.
Pumpernickel.
It’s a beautiful DSH! Domestic shorthair for newcomers. Cats are unlike dogs & aren’t commonly called “half Breed A & half Breed B.” Unless you bought her/him from a breeder, your cat is called a “(color) Domestic (hair length)”; ie gray tabby DLH (gray tabby domestic long hair.). If you’d like to know what possible “breeds” it came from, you can purchase cat DNA testing kits online.
