Hi
Well it is very possible that your cat is what is known as a moggy ie a cat that is not one particular breed but a combination of breeds due to interbreeding through generations etc.

There may be several breeds in him, perhaps a little Persian or even Maine Coon due to the long fur. I can't see any one particular breed in your cats photo so i suspect that he is a mix.

We had a gray one just like yours, very affectionate, shed like crazy but fur never matted, lived to 20yr. Enjoy your cat!

Hi I am no expert but your cat looks a lot like mine, based on your photo,I was doing some research on what type of cat mine was and i found out that she is a " LaPerm ". She is all grey and very affectionate and also has distinctive curls on her belly. By this small bit of info I was able to figure out what she was. You should tale a look and see if yous hac curls, because if it douse it could be a " LaPerm" kool right!

A Nebelung?
by: Anonymous

I am NO expert, but I've been browsing cat breeds on line and watching AnimalPlanet's Cats 101 and if I were you I'd investigate whether it is a Nebelung. This breed was recently developed in Colorado and is named after the German word for fog or mist: Nebel.
