Question
What kind?
What kind?  
The people we got my cat from said it was Himilayan. However, she said the father is Himilayan & the mother is a polydactyl cat. Then said they think the mother is a long-haired Calico. What kind of kitten do I have from that & what should I breed her with when the time comes to do so?

Answer
Kadi,

She is a seal point domestic long hair. She really is not any special breed.

Is she registered?  If not, why would you want to breed her? She will make a much better pet if she were spayed.

If you want to breed her, make sure your veterinarian is in the loop and you have arrangements with your vet in case she has difficulties outside of office hours.

Best regards... Norm.
