what beautiful little things, i'll 2nd that nomination
i reckon your right kathy, she screams pedigree to me (maybe not pure breed but she's definately not just moggy is she?!)
I actually
do think she's
not pedigree. At best a cat with a grey-breed background. Maybe a mix. There are quite a few grey cats in my neighborhood, all are moggies. All are stunning. The face to me just doesn't say pedigree. A good Russian blue will have less of a wedge face, more rounded, stocky, though not smushed face (they are a powerful looking cat), and an exotic shorthair will have a nice Persian-type face. The orientals will have a very strong wedge, much stronger than hers and they just have a more angular build. A good Russian or Chartreuse (A french breed grey cat) will also not have tabby markings, which she's got on her tail. Of course, tabby markings may be present in a young cat, if she's a young mother, but I don't know her age by looking at the pictures. I could, however, be super wrong, as I'm no expert. I just like to thumb through the big books at Costco.
And there was one on cat breeds last time I went. In addition, I'd think somebody would chip a pedigree. Wouldn't they? That makes sense, but some people don't think that way.
That being said, she
is absolutely gorgeous and mating with a black cat has produced lovely kittens. The black must have grey in his background too, because for an all-grey litter to occur, grey has got to be dominant.
That is the best arguement there for a pedigree background, the
all-grey litter. Usually a moggy litter is a mixed bag, which is what I've got. There's a lighter grey kitten with some shading that is really pretty.
I second the POTM nod. I don't think you'll have any trouble finding homes for these little lookers. I'm really into the grey cats right now, Max from my litter is grey with a spattering of tabby marking which may or may not go away. Very pretty.
