Dawn sent in this picture with the following question: "Can you tell by a picture what kind of cat my Jinxsy is? She is 3 yrs. old, and very tiny. She is about the size of my 5lb. chihuahua, a little more lanky though. She is a cutie, but her markings are different from anything I can find on the web. Thanks."

I don't know what kind of cat she is myself, but if any of you do, please leave a comment here so Dawn can read it!

Jinxsy has colorpoints on her extremities (tail, ear tips, etc.) in a chocolate or seal color. Blue eyes accompany this color pattern. This is a Siamese trait. Seal is dark seal brown points with a light tan body color and chocolate is milk chocolate points with an ivory body color. It is a recognized color pattern in other breeds, including Ragdolls. Ragdolls are large however, so your cat does not resemble this breed in size.

Because her face is slightly flattened and she has a compact body, she shows evidence of some Himalayan Persian influence. Her small size is reminiscent of a dwarf or miniature breed. If she vocalizes a lot, that is the Siamese influence.

She appears to have a medium length coat, so she is probably a mixed breed. You could identify her best breed match by looking at some photos of the breeds I mentioned. There was an attempt in the past to breed Mini-Himalayans which has since been revitalized. To me, this is the breed your cat most resembles.

From her picture and size, I would call her a Seal Point Mini-Himalayan.

Good luck with assigning a breed description to Jinxsy. She's adorable.
