I disagree on the wegie - face and muzzle look more square to me - not the triangle look of the wegie. Body is also longer then a wegie - the style of the maine coons.

Now its possible the cat could have both in the background. I relooked at the pics - mom does look more wegie in the face (triangle) and the one brother (last photo), but the sister and tubby look MC - so if mom's a wegie she could have been bred by a MC and so 1/2 the kittens look like MC, 1/2 look wegie

IMO they look a lot like a Maine Coon Cat.

Tubby's a solid blue, The mom is a blue tabby, sister is either a blue smoke (kinda looks like a silver in the picture) and brother is a brown tabby

ok this is the Super Sniffer. I just smelled Tubby and to me she didn't have any smell at all. I guess stands to reason since she is hypo-allergenic.
Thanks for all your help.
no matter what she turns out to be we will love her just the same

lol ok i'll have to get the hubby to do the sniffing while i hold her. he's got a supersniffer mine isn't so good.....but! that does explain something...my son's ex girlfriend was highly allergic to cats but she never had any reactions to ours. she could pet them and hold them and never reacted to them. we always wondered why ...so now that makes sense! thanks by the way...i think she's beautiful too but i'm biased lol

Wow - Tubby is beautiful! I agree the color is blue -- what a gorgeous cat!

My cat Rusty is a Siberian and has the same head shape and coat "style". Siberian's are known as the "hypo-allergenic" cat because some are missing the type of dander gene that people are allergic to. My Rusty is like this, people who are basically allergic to cats can hold and pet him, even with his long hair!

I don't know if this is true of all Siberians, but put your nose down into Tubby's fur and smell -- Rusty's coat smells just like laundry that has been hanging out in the sun (outdoor fresh). I don't bathe him and I don't put scents on him, this is just "his scent" and I don't know if anybody else has ever heard of this? See what Tubby's coat smells like -- ????? (humour me). Now I know everybody is now laughing at me, but honest to God -- Rusty's fur has this great outdoor fresh scent and people are not allergic to him.

It is so very hard to tell a cat's breed mixture, but Tubby is beautiful no matter what she is! LOL -- sorry I thought Tubby was a HE at first.

Now I anxiously await your "sniffing" results! LOL

thanks for looking my hubby has always thought she had some russian blue in her. we've always wondered but we saw a cat in a movie the other night that looked just like her.

Your cats are beautiful! Tubby looks like part Persian (stretched body, tail) and part Siberian. If she had green eyes she would look like Niebelung (long-haired option of Russian blue).

my son's friend gave me a cat a few years ago, she had a litter of kittens and i couldn't bear to give them away. there were only four of them. at the time we were living at my inlaws and when we moved out we left the mother and took the four kittens with us. since that time i had to give 3 of them away but they just live right up the road so i can visit them. i kept the one because of them all i was closest to her. she'll be 2 years old in august and her name is tubby. i'm the only one at all she trusts. she is always with me, not even my husband or kids can pet her without a warning from her although she has never lashed out at them to harm.
the first two pictures are my cat and the third is her mother and the fourth is her sister and the last is her brother
