What Kind of Breeds Might My Cat Have in Her (pics and description included)…?
My cat, highchair, is a ten year old female cat we got for free from a friend whose cat delivered a litter when she was about a four weeks old, and for the longest time, I haven’t been able to find out what kind of cat breeds she has in her?! We know she’s got a pinch of Siamese in her and her mother was a tabby (not really a breed, but…). Anyhoo, here are some pics and measurements and sorry if they’re a little off; I measure her while she was laying down and slightly curled up:
Height from Foot to Shoulder: approximately 13 inches or 1"1 (33 cm.)
Length from Shoulder to Base of her Tail: approximately 15 inches or 1"3 (38 cm.)
Weight: approximately 26 lbs. (11.8 kilograms)
Short and "pug-ish" muzzle
Big, light blue eyes
Pink nose
"Tiger stripes" just in a white, grey, and pinch of pale brown rather than browns
Here are some pictures(sorry for the blue hue on the first, but it’s pretty
):

P.S. I know she’s fat and unhealthy, but we’re working on it, she’s been on diet cat food and we’re excising her! I’m doing the best I can on getting her healthy!
She’s VERY intelligent and curious, but at the same time a bit on the lazy side. She enjoys basking in the sun and sleeping as well as chasing strings through the house. She is easily upset by our dogs and other cat but has a docile and calm temperament around us. Her memory is amazing and is fond of holding grudges against people who annoyed her in the slightest sense. She can be vengeful and calculating when it comes to revenge (pooping in the CLEAN clothes because we bought a dog… WHY THE CLEAN CLOTHES?!). She also likes to see what kind of noise something makes when it falls and crashes into a gazillion pieces or how we might react when she does something like toss our car keys into the trash can (she watches us and that’s how we know she wanted to see our reaction). She’s polite, loving, and enjoys curling up on our laps and snoozing for a good half hour, too. :3

looks domestic but face of persion
She looks like a tabby and exotic short hair mix to me. But I can be wrong but that could explain the face, the short hair, and the stripes. She is a very cute cat.
She looks quite a bit like an American Shorthair but considering she didn’t come from a breeder – she isn’t anything. You don’t just "happen" about kittens of particular breeds. They come from the matings of pedigreed cats of the same breed. And with breeders tending to sell kittens altered, highly unlikely your friend just happened to have two unaltered American Shorthairs.
She’s a "domestic" – a cat of no particular breed just like over 97% of the cats on this entire planet.
FYI – quality foods don’t have "diet" on the label since there’s nothing in there to make a cat fat. Switch your cat to a QUALITY food and only feed it twice a day. The food you’re feeding should be made with REAL MEAT and contain little to no grain. Just give her a couple small handfuls twice a day. And give her a small amount of canned food daily as well.
