Quite perplexed regarding my "Rockie" kitten...help?

by Cindy Dye
(Woodland, AL, USA)

Rockie riding in Laci's baby stroller.

Rockie riding in Laci's baby stroller.

Rockie riding in Laci's baby stroller. Rockie's markings on her chest. Rockie playing with FatCat...she don't realize how much bigger than her he really is. Rockie climbing *as usual* she climbs on EVERYTHING

I have received a new kitten from my brother for my daughter. The kitten is gorgeous! She has gray colored shorter hair with only a small white strip on her chest and a tiny bit on her tummy.





She is only approx 3 months old so I don't know what her build will be later i.e. big build, muscular, etc. She has a round face with beautiful yellow-ish gold colored eyes.

Oddly, she has an extra digit on her front paws, only one extra, but they are on both feet in the same locations...where the thumbs are *sorry don't know the technical terms*.

She also has a strange meow. It's not a regular sound. It is more cracky and higher pitched. Almost like she CAN'T meow as well as my older kitty.

BEAUTIFUL KITTY! She has the best personality, next to my FatCat I've ever seen. She is very playful, which I attribute to her age mostly. She is not aggressive. She loves to climb and loves my older cat dearly. She is also extremely good w/my two young children. Laci is her "owner" and is only 5 yrs. old. She's never scratched or been mean to her for anything, even though she sometimes would be in the right.

She sleeps w/my daughter or myself almost every night. She honestly don't care how much Laci wiggles around or moves or even moves her around, she will just go right back to sleep in ANY position.

Overall she is a great Kitten and i/we love her dearly. She was a found kitten along w/a sibling that the land owner took home with him.

Unfortunately that baby didn't make it, but Luckily Rockie did! There are homes close to where the babies were found, so it is believed that maybe they were not throw away babies...either way, no matter how much she cost *0* or the breed she may or may not be...she has a forever home!

she IS a bit nutty!!!
by: Cindy

LOL Michael, you are so very right about FatCat! She gets that look quite often from him. He loves her dearly, but realizes that she is simply put..crazy! She has ALOT more energy than he does. Maybe she can help him become a not-so-Fat-Cat.
The reason for me finding this wonderful site was to see if i could identify her breed, at all. I also saw the Russian Blue *?* kitties and thought she fit that category quite nicely...EXCEPT for the white on her...then i looked at the Chartruex *?* and thought maybe she fits there...
I realize that she dont fit into any one category, for cat breeds anyway. However she fits in here just fine. She is just like the rest of us, a mix of many.
I am so glad I came across this site. I have seen some of the cutest/prettiest/most handsome cats EVER. I love to read the stories about other kitties and their humans as well!
thank you for answering my question regarding her breed as well!~~Cindy~~

Russian Blure resemblance
by: Michael

H Cindy, your grey kitten does have a resemblance to the purebred Russian Blue.

The coat is "blue" (dilute black) and the eye colour is correct too.

This is not to say that she is a Russian Blue. She is polydactyl (extra toes) and she has a locket of white on the chest making her a bicolor. Russian Blues are only pure, 100% grey.

She is a very pretty cat and has found a nice home. I like the expression of FatCat in the last picture, looking calmly on thinking what the hell is that little devil getting up to now!
