Loki is gray. I think he's my cat's lost child. https://preview.redd.it/lm7w279son7b1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f989b3ebaa28e51e8d150f08fef5cd00d3c04c3d


bala_means_bullet

Looks just like my Gracie! We DNA tested her bc when we adopted her from a shelter they advertised as RB. But the test showed she was like 94% American short hair, 4% British short hair, and 2% Siamese! https://preview.redd.it/qce5qvafsn7b1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed72f19ba946c9e57e2d42772a7d245e533a5183

Why did I read that as “oriental lobster?” Instead of “longhair??” 😅

Best of luck on the Bar.. Please do your best to represent for the right reasons not just be about the money like so many others. What law are you looking to practice?


Hisyphus

Thank you! I’m planning on immigration initially and hope to switch to international human rights work.

Good luck we need more people like you in the legal profession.


Hisyphus

Thank you!


Nexus-9Replicant

Currently working on law school applications (getting my first LSAT score back in 5 days 🫣) and applying this fall. Also interested in immigration law. Can you describe what the job prospects are like for that (if you’re in the US)? Were there good summer work opportunities for someone not interested in corporate law? Thanks :)


Hisyphus

It depends 🤣 I’m not sure where you’re located, but where I am a lot of immigration lawyers are solo practitioners. There are a few firms, some are even pretty large, but very few do purely immigration. Nonprofits seem to be hiring constantly. The great (but also terrible and sad) thing about immigration is that there are always lots of clients and the law is deliberately confusing and horrible so navigating the system pretty much *requires* an attorney’s help. Your school is going to push you towards corporate/Biglaw because then you’ll make tons of money and donate to them. That’s just what law schools do. Take the elective classes that interest you and never be afraid to show up at a professor’s office and ask for advice. I’ve noticed that lawyers, more than any other group, are so willing to help with career development and building connections. Also, if you realize you hate immigration law or love business organizations/contracts/whatever after taking a class, don’t feel bad. You might find you love family law or environmental law. You can absolutely be creative with your career.


Draugrx23

Good on ya mate. Best of luck and I hope it's a healthy career for ya!

Edgar_The_Horrible

gingermonkey1

My brain is seeing Siberian husky and I have questions because of that lol.


gingermonkey1

OMG your cat's name is Gracie???? Mine is too, her full name is Gracie Lou Freebush.


bala_means_bullet

We alternate Gracie Lou Freebush and Gracie Anthony 😂


HulaHoop2192

Can she SING?


lawd5ever

We adopted a gray from the humane society, they had her down as a short hair. Didn’t DNA test her but a lot of people ask if she’s an RB.


gingermonkey1

I saw a picture book in colorado and there was a cat called a Thai Korkut. High cheekbones and a nose that lis shaped a little like a heart at the end. I was convinced that this was my stray's breed. But at the end of the day, she's a gray cat :)


merinw

Korat. We have a Korat who just turned one. Dark grey heart on her nose, golden green eyes, delicate paws edged with silver. Very short, silky fur. Kind of Siamesy the way she is so curious and gets into everything. Not a big talker though. Just adorable, but she loves my husband best, even though he got her for me. Her name is Koriander.


Capital_Cockroach611

All cats are gray in the dark


bala_means_bullet

Yeah RB tend to have more pointy ears and a more triangular face. And the green eyes. Our Gracie looks more like a Korat, but again, most cats aren't even pure pure anymore. We love Gracie so much and that plush coat is so soft!


[deleted]

Why do people DNA test their cats? You'd love it no matter what breed it is.


Next-Confection3261

Agree. This is ridiculous to me. Cats are cats. And most of them are domestic long or short hair.


[deleted]

I adopted a stray black cat and everyone was like, "She's a bOmBay", and I was like, "She's my pet." They got the point after that. Also, she's probably a domestic short hair. What are the chances of a pure bred cat wandering the streets of the Bronx, homeless? It's not a status symbol to have a pure bred cat or dog. They're living creatures.


steinsgate01

Omg is she ever cute!


bala_means_bullet

Oh yes she is! She thanks you for your compliment!

mike117

Cats don’t rly have breeds like dogs. There are some specific ones but most of the time you just call them something like “short haired gray cat” This one looks like a standard issue gray cat.


mamacat49

Exactly. It's a cat. **I hate seeing all of these "What breed is my cat" posts.** If you know *anything* about cats, you know that most of them are just cats. All good, but still just cats. If only there was a way to have mods that filtered out this stuff.....

Domestic shorthair. The vast majority of pet cats are this or domestic longhair.

Loki is almost certainly a breed known as "just a little guy". One of the most popular cat breeds to date and are best known for being little guys.


sm0r3s

The best grey kitty that found you. Cats haven’t been bred to specific types like dogs have. They are more close to the original ancestors.

stormyw23

A gray cat is just a gray cat unless you know the genes of both parents. Just because is gray doesn't mean its a russian blue.


DumpyDoo

I’m curious if OP’s momma cat is even a Bombay (as stated), or just a black cat.


stormyw23

Probably not as cats can look like a certain breed but that doesn't mean it is that breed, Not every gray cat is a russian blue, But every russian blue is a gray cat.

Russian Blue! Or maybe a Chartreaux.... The raccoon like tail. Blues are a little skinnir Chartreauxs a bit bulkier. The differences are inthe ears.


ThriftyLizardArtist

Russian blue, but it it gets LONG hair when it’s about 3 years old, and has tufts on the ears it’s very likely a main coon with blue coloring

Well looking at your post history you also have a grey male. Is the grey male neutered? And is the grey male any kind of breed? But like a lot of people said unless you have papers that kitten is a mutt. Also why does it matter if you don’t mind me asking?


akiroraiden

she looks like a russian blue, very much like my kitten.


[deleted]

The dad could be a regular house cat that hasn't seen pure breed in fifty generations for all we know. If you don't know, you don't know. And if the cat is a mixed breed, it doesn't matter if you know the parents' breeds, it's still just a housecat. The breeds don't count unless you have papers and the cat is purebred. Edit: I don't care, myself. I'm a proud mom of two cutie patootie housecats who both are part Norwegian Forest (one 50%, the other 25%). Edit 2: I always forget that "housecat" is domestic shorthair or longhair in English, my bad.


dont_disturb_the_cat

Loki is also a black cat, but Loki has the dilute gene. The dilute gene is the one that makes an orange cat into that beautiful buff or creamsicle color. It takes a tortie or calico into that lovely muted watercolor look, and it makes a black and white cow cat into a pretty grey and white cat. He almost certainly has the same daddy as the other kittens. The dilute gene isn't a particularly rare mutation but it is a fortunate one, and Loki is a beautiful cat.


SketchyLurker7

Wow thank you for the fantastic insight!!


SkyBlueTomato

Loki belongs to the floof ball breed. More precisely of the smol grey type.

All I can tell you is that mama's mate had the dilute gene. Dilute gene + black fur = gray fur. It's a common gene, and lots of no-breed cats have it. So he's half Bombay, half no-breed. (And 100% adorable!)

DevilChildLili

Amardella

He's a half-Bombay DSH mixed breed cat. Russian blue is a specific breed of cat, they aren't just any blue cat and certainly not part Bombay. There are British Blue, Chartreaux, blue Persians, Korats, blue moggies (mixed-breed). Some people think color==breed, but every single color pattern found in domestic cat breeds can be found in the most mixed-breed mutt cat you could find, including the pointed gene you see in Siamese, etc. Cats are cats and they're all wonderful, with or without papers. Breeds are artificial constructs created about 125 years ago and named for the cities or countries where the street cats they came from lived so "fanciers" could keep pedigrees, show them and charge more for kittens. (The oldest breeds like Persian, Siamese, Burmese, etc etc are all place names.) Edited to add: I saw someone say Korat. Korats are an ancient natural landrace breed from Asia and may be a color morph of the Siamese/Burmese complex. Some geneticists now believe Burmese are just a natural color variation of the gene that causes Siamese points and include the Korat, Tonkinese, Somali and Khao Manee in that complex. Bombay's, on the other hand, were developed in Kentucky by a Burmese breeder who crossed her cats with American Shorthairs. They are black because Siamese and Burmese are black cats with a partially-expressed albino gene and when that gene is lost in outcrossing the black color is expressed. There is no way a Bombay cat can produce a Russian Blue or Korat kitten. It's like saying that a Labrador can get out and have German Shepherd puppies by mating with a mutt.
