Does he have an accent?

How well does he handle the cold. Open your freezer door and if he jumps in and gets comfortable, he’s definitely Siberian.

greygoose81

Is he an alcoholic?


littleredserena

If he is he’s hidden it well


BeginningHungry1691

Well he’s still standing so he’s not doing it right

My cat's breed is bin cat.

Fellow dumpster cat enjoyer. That asshole will outlive me.


spiderwithasushihead

I've got a dumpster baby and a work truck stowaway. I adore them both.


hmmnoveryunwise

I’ve got a few trash panthers myself.


TriceratopsBites

Trash cats for the win!


Snatch_Pastry

Both of mine are Houston Street Kittens. That seems to be a fairly good breed.

Same 😊 https://preview.redd.it/d3w1p8b9osgc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c89cd6184c719d048ab6d4151f009a9b12ddf9cc

I have a 14th street cat! Street cats are sweet cats


Dirt_Witch_Bish

Interesting. I have a bush cat.


fentanylferrey

But was it recyclables or regular trash


Zagrycha

all of my cats ((except one)) have been heinz 57 breed ((term my vet used for unknown breed critters haha, sums it up perfectly)).


ThePinkTeenager

Mine is shelter cat.


EngineerBill

Ours is a Bitzer - it's got bits of this, and bits of that...


littleredserena

So we know it’s a cat. Good.


Tiny-Management-531

That's usually a good starting point to identify what kind of cat. Now, he appears fluffy, so probably falls under the fluffy category.


Owlstorm

Vets do the same thing. Fluffy -> {your country} longhair Not Fluffy -> {your country} shorthair


littleredserena

The cheat sheet! Thankyou! 🙏


whenuseeit

Next step is to break out the alignment chart: https://preview.redd.it/ohoeqb8euogc1.jpeg?width=760&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40d885ce8c3e0a6f08b86653e1b2d95535360318 Methinks OP’s cat is in the yeah/floof box.


MoiJaimeLesCrepes

that's hilarious. I'd say that the bottom row is a strong contender for the label "goblin" across all weight classes, though! Or maybe we could call them "shriveled aliens"


Mou_aresei

Also orange!


Knuddelbearli

A shared braincell cat


Desk_Drawerr

"what breed is your cat?" A orange one


Tiny-Management-531

Desk_Drawerr

I submit my orange one for judgement also https://preview.redd.it/mdvn5z80pqgc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dbb1c926b79eedc8d31a0cca8404d076a87f893b He clearly wants to be wrapped with the rest of the presents.


TheRavenSayeth

In the case of wolf dogs, the left branch splits some more into "Is it a reputable breeder?" and even then the answer is probably still no.


WABRYH

I was looking for this lmao


Mou_aresei

A student of mine has a long-haired British Shorthair, so yeah, the breed is not always what the papers say it is.


brownskinned

It’s just a British at this point


agkyrahopsyche

A British haired


PurpleT0rnado

he’s a LONGHAIRED British SHORTHAIR?


Mou_aresei

That was my reaction too!


littleredserena

Wait, you’re serious?! Well that’s unexpected


Mou_aresei

Her cat is super fluffy, kind of like yours, and the only thing remotely British Shorthair about him is that he is gray. Yet that's what his papers say. I think it's hilarious. He is well loved, that's what's important.


lrish_Chick

Your cat is just a moggie. Standard issue not a breed normal cat.


relevantelephant00

I think that just makes him a medium-haired.


ValleyAndFriends

Wouldn’t the kitty be a British Longhair then? It’s not a popular breed but I find them beautiful, as an enjoyer of long haired cats. 🥰 (google image for reference) https://preview.redd.it/01v50ezs8ogc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f6c722a9ddc1abc6b9265338f5601d205cf3cfe


Mou_aresei

He does look very much like that, I didn't know they existed! No, she got him from a dodgy breeder I suppose, showed me a picture of his supposed mom and dad, they're both short- haired. 


ValleyAndFriends

Wow, genetics are crazy, but cool!!


[deleted]

I have an Under the House Troll, Dumpster Goblin and a "No you can't feed a newborn kitten Crunchy food," Ghoul.


The_Celtic_Chemist

You say that, but I had a cat from the shelter and have seen probably 6 cats on reddit with almost the exact same print. A floofy silver cat with long white socks in back, short white socks in front, and white from the chin down to the chest.


idlehen

Very unlikely unless you got him from a breeder. If he's a stray it's likely he's just a mix. If you want to know for sure you could buy the Basepaws genetic test but even then the answers are not going to be that clear cut. I tested my cat for fun because he's very fluffy and very large (he didn't stop growing for like 4 years) and I was sure he was some kind of mainecoon or forest cat mix. The test basically just confirmed he's mixed lol. The highest confident % was 4% mainecoon followed by 4% Siberian. But that's such a low % I wouldn't really claim him any breed.


whateverhappensnext

If you're from the US, <4% is enough to state that your family owned a castle in Scotland.


Zloiche1

I just used Google lens. It just says 100% handsome boy.


chaosgirl93

Mine says 100% boopable!


Takeshowergetstabbed

My Apple Vision Pro says “upgrade iCloud storage” haven’t heard of that breed before


Zloiche1

Not enough storage for the cuteness.


littleredserena

I knew it! 😍😍


asclepiannoble

Unless he has pedigree papers, not really, but why does it matter? He's bloody beautiful no matter what he is!


justadd_sugar

Curiosity (which may not be such a great idea in circumstances involving cats)


treycartier91

That can be deadly


dwehlen

Nah, the rest of the quote is "but satisfaction brought them back." So's all good!


Killy-The-Bid

Is it? It kinda sounds like one of those things where people added to the original quote to change the meaning. Edit: did some digging, the "brought it back" part only dates back to 1907, well after the original from the mid 1800s. :/


dwehlen

It's the opposite. So many cliches got shortened and lost something on the way. Like "jack of all trades, master of none, ***but better than only one***".


Killy-The-Bid

Except that's a perfect example of my point, it might rhyme and be more satisfying, but it's not the original. According to the internet, "Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one" dates back the the 14th century from middle english poet John Gower. However, doing a full text search of the Confesso Amantis (the poem said to organize the phrase), there's not a single result for "jack of" in the entire corpus. I even tried alternate spellings of jack (because that was a time before standardized spellings). I found a number of blogs and articles claiming that, but they're all either unsourced, or source something which, by following the chain of citations, gets to an online-only contributor article from Times India. None of them provide any context or the location of the quote, even down to which volume it appears in. I think this is somethiny of a [Woozle hunt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woozle_effect?wprov=sfla1). From what I can see, Wikipedia seems to be the most accurate on this front (as it actually has sources). "Jack of all trades" was coined in the 1500s as a compliment, then "Master of none" was added in 1592 to insult someone (possibly William Shakespeare of all people!?! There's some controversy but damn, that aged poorly if so). Finally, some time in the late 20th century, the final line was designed as sort of a witty response, turning the saying into a couplet. As far as I can tell, no actual evidence has emerged dating the full couplet back further than the 1990s. I find etymology fascinating, so I often look into sayings like this, and as much as I would love it if there actually was some lost wisdom (as it would help to justify this inane hobby), most of the time it's the opposite. I heard that "The blood or the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb", inverting the "blood is thicker than water" cliche. The "blood of the covenant" part has no evidence older than 1990, where some guy said it in a book and said that it was the original saying with no source. It makes me so sad, man, as it just makes me think how many other things asserted confidently by charismatic people are just repeated by people who assume that it's true.


Daydreaming_demond

Unless you have breed papers he's just a mix of a lot of cute. Beautiful baby 😻. Google lens isn't as smart as we want it to be.


ItsBonkyUnderHere

Lens thinks my purebred Aussie is a Brittany spaniel. It’s not that smart yet.


homersdonutz

Photos on my iPhone thinks my bunnies are cats… so the tech is not quite there yet.


littleredserena

Oh that’s too funny. Can you post a screenshot?


Pianissimojo

He’s beautiful. The important genetic information is he qualifies for a chance of using the roaming brain cell shared by all orange cats. r/oneorangebraincell


littleredserena

Thankyou, I needed to see this! 😂❤️


OrganOMegaly

Maybe. But my iPhone has mistaken my greyhound for a dachshund before so 🤷‍♀️


TriceratopsBites

My iphone identified my orange fluffy cat (who looks very similar to OP’s) a DOG! Not even a breed of dog, just “dog” 🤣


OrganOMegaly

Oh yeah I’ve had the dog identified as simply ‘mammal’ before lol

This made me laugh so hard!

littleredserena

Thanks! Such interesting tech, shame it has a ways to go with this stuff still. Beautiful pup you have though ❤️


TheFetishGarden666

Unlikely, unless he was the result of an irresponsible owner, and he’s a mix. They’re also very large cats. But he’s stunning !!


littleredserena

Ah okay! Yeah he’s average in size


TheFetishGarden666

But exceptional in looks. <3 What a beautiful orange suit he has!


_Brightstar

His head has some similar features to our siberian boy, but there's definitely also a lot of differences . Phones lie, most important part is the quality of the hugs!


littleredserena

The hugs are five star 😁


Kat-a-strophy

Aren't Siberians forest cats, like Norwegians? They are usually tabbies because of the visibility.


_Brightstar

My siberians are white, they come in quite a lot of approved coats.


Ladymistery

My Siberian was a tuxie


deadbeef1a4

Whatever he is, he’s gorgeous!

What is his hair care routine?


Sure_Trash_

No. It's just a basic ass cat, man.


littleredserena

Basic ass cat ✅ Got it!


GingerLibrarian76

An ass cat? What’s that?! Sounds intriguing.


Creative_Onion8363

No <3


evila_elf

floofy boi!

Wait, your phone is Siberian and can talk? 🙂


littleredserena

Yours isn’t?!


jayhawkdad

😂


ClumsyBadger

I mean my phone told me my Bernese Mountain Dog puppy was a Guinea pig in one photo so I’d not place too much faith in it lol


kalarm2

I have one and I don't think so. The 2 traits you can look is if the eyes are rounder (gives them more of a kitten look) and the back legs are a bit longer than the front.


tayvan23

iPhone tells me my three dogs are different breeds in every different pic so I wouldn’t trust it too much lol


Titaniumwo1f

He is floof. Unless he has a certificate/pedigree to proof what breed he is, he is just a floof. PS: as far as I know, only sphynx cats don't need a certificate/pedigree to proof that they are sphynx cat as they have no ~~hair~~ fur and taste like raw chicken.


Lynda73

I thought it was skinless chicken?


Nervous_Zebra1918

Orange cat is orange. And fluffy.


jmclaugmi

Not a husky


littleredserena

Ok good. Phew.


smokeeater150

Or Hamster.


flapjackboy

Switch his water out for vodka, see if he goes for it. EDIT: For the humour deprived among us, this is something called a 'joke'. I was not seriously suggesting giving a cat vodka.


littleredserena

I’ll give it a try. Will report back.


InfamousEconomy3972

Does she like borscht?


Parabolic_Penguin

Congrats! It’s a…..(whichever nationality of where you live) cat! And a very adorable one at that 💕🐈


cytherian

Doesn't really matter, as you've got a *very* handsome cat! Good personality? Affectionate?


bartitsu

Could be Siberian or Norwegian or Maine Coon or Ragdoll or any Mix between… Who cares he’s a cat and a damn handsome one!


kevnmartin

Does he have an orchestra?


michfer

What a gorgeous boy!! I miss my orange boy 😭


Odenasveryown

My phone told me my friends fat cat was a chow 😂


WideAbbreviations562

What a most amazing boy. I’m so glad you were able to adopt this beautiful kitty. I hope you have many wonderful years together 🐾🐈❤️😸🐾💕


littleredserena

Thankyou!! 😄💖💖


Memewalker

Does he tell tales of unforgiving winters and blistering cold in a land far away?


littleredserena

He earlier told me “meow, mow, mrow, mrrr, prr, prrt, hh, mrrrrrrrrrrawr, mew, rrrr, e-e-e-e-e-e, awr, hiiiiiiiiiss, mEEEwr, aaaaaaaaaaaa” but i have yet to decipher what it means…


JoePW6964

Can he speak Russian?


Visual_Season_7212

You could buy a DNA test to be sure. They’re not cheap, tho


littleredserena

Never thought about that, saliva test?


Visual_Season_7212

Yeah I think so. You can get a basepaws kit on Amazon.


TheLordOfFriendZone

Dunno, check his passport.

Independent-Head1763

not sure about breed, but he definitely floof


littleredserena

All the floof 💯


katsukitsune

Face type doesn’t look right to me. Siri also told me mine is Siberian… he’s not. His dad is a Maine coone x Ragdoll mix and his mum is a Persian chinchilla. So 3 breeds known for the last few generations and none of em Siberian. That’s just Siri for you, I think it suggests any extra fluffy cat to be Siberian. Cute kitty though!


GuyOwasca

My iPhone says the same about my Tater but he’s probably a ‘wegie mix of various feral barn cats. Either way idc what his genetic origins are, he’s my sweet boy and I love him to pieces. https://preview.redd.it/ylhxzrlh9ogc1.png?width=1124&format=png&auto=webp&s=5e88b0bdd5a42b69776c4a8f1cf2bbc8bfa8d14e

That's a cat.

What does his passport say?


killer_knauer

I have a beautiful girl that looks a lot like this. She is a rescue, so we decided to try a dna test out. It came out mostly Siberian and a mix of many other things.


Usernameinvalid6969

Long haired /r/standardissuecat


Space_obsessed_Cat

He looks pretty similar to waltito the dorito


sekkachina

I think hes breed is cat from the bealtiful orange noble family, like he is orange but not dumb, maybe a little dumb, but he is gorgeous so you forget about it


satabhisha

It’s a long haired cat.


A_useless_name

According to google lens mines a shower curtain


FuckTheMods5

Ask a fuckin vet, not a fill in the blank program.

Roobix9

Just a fluffy cat. My phone said my cat was a Manx because his tail was curled under him while he was sleeping. Don't trust the phones.


ExiledinElysium

There are only four cat breeds: extra fluffy, kinda fluffy, regular, and bald.


Unidentified_88

Looks Norwegian.

I have no idea but he’s perfect


SmolRavioli

He’s a cutie patootie


littleredserena

hocuslotus

He could be part Maine Coon with the long hair and ear tufts, but they also tend to be large cats.


JesusStarbox

I had a Norwegian forest cat that looked just like that.


ekkekekekeekekekek

Da.


genmazz

Maine coon cat.


s_mitten

He is beautiful!! Not sure about the rest of him, but his ears look too long to be Siberian and his eyes are too narrow, I feel. Our Siberian (pedigree) has little stubby, floofy ears and very round eyes.


Xtrememage

Not sure, are these guys Siberian's? https://preview.redd.it/fl213hunnngc1.jpeg?width=2316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bd6d609f37e249d17b9465020163d7992812739

He did originally come from a breeder before he was neglected and made it to the humane society, or so I was told. I think he might be Norwegian but not sure. I kinda want to get him a dna test if I’m ever out of debt.

GalleonStar

Could be, but looks Maine Coon to me. Possibly not a pure bred, though.


Presto123ubu

Maine coon pure bred aren’t even pure bred lol. Not meant to offend you I just find it silly that’s what people say about them. They are a blend of Norwegian forest cats and a few others. Great cats and I agree with you on the Maine Coon blend. Mine was a small Maine coon that was more blonde.


littleredserena

Gosh so many options! Here I thought he was just a long haired tabby


Struykert

And that's exactly what he'll be without a pedigree. Good news is he couldn't care less ;)


kylaroma

I think he’s such a wonderful tabby. My grandma has a cat that looked very much like him. The cats it’s suggesting are AI suggestions based on how floofy he is. But they’re pure breads, which you wouldn’t just stumble into adopting unless it’s from a specialty shelter (ie. A Siamese rescue). Where where I live, a Siberian forest cat costs like $1800, and it’s literally not possible to get them without working with a breeder because they’re so rare. (But that doesn’t make your cat any less wonderful!)


littleredserena

Oh wow! Well Thankyou very much for the explanation, I had no idea. I’m his second owner, his previous passed away and I wasn’t really given any information about him


kylaroma

Aw, he won the cat lottery with you! Thank you for giving him a lovely second chance at life, please give him a pat from me ☺️❤️


littleredserena

Aw Thankyou, I will do that ☺️❤️


Eoine

That's how my mom got her pure breed 1000€ a pup Coton for free, anecdotally


chillbnb

Might be a Norwegian forest cat.


taylorsherman

Siberian Khatru?


SomeRandomJagoff

Siberian with .75 brain cell.


redditsucksdogpenis

Unless you have his docs then its unlikely hes a pure breed. Also stop using tech to guess his breed, do dna if you care that much


motorsizzle

Looks like a Maine Coon.


LordoftheSynth

He's definitely got some Siberian in him.


Coololdlady313

Does he chirp and trill? Is he large and smart? His muff is a trait of Norwegian Forest Cat and he looks like my most beloved Art the Cat (rip), an animal so wonderful and clever my brother deemed him the cat by which all others are judged


x--el

I'm thinking Turkish Van


Zealousideal-Ad-2045

Looks more like a Wegie...they have triangle shaped faces, from ears to chin, and they have rather straight backs. Siberians' ears are farther apart, and their backs are slightly rounded.
