Bi color tabby

Question
I have 2 bi color tabbies.  Jinx, my male cat has black around his bottom lip and around his eyes. His bottom half of his body is white with a small black circle on one of his back paws and one on the front paw.  His upper body is tabby color (brown, black, gray & white). What other kind of cat breed might Jinx have in him?

Answer
Lisa,

It's really hard to say what type of cat you may have.  Cats come in all different sizes, colors, and shapes, and just because they have certain colors in them doesn't mean they are necessarily the breed you think they are (or that they're mixed with a breed you think they're mixed with).  It's virtually impossible to determine what type of cat one has unless you have a purebred cat that has CFA or TICA papers, which prove it's been born to a specific breed of cat.  Otherwise, vets and others can only make educated guesses.  

I wish I could have been more help, but it's virtually impossible to determine what kind of breed Jinx may have in him.  If you'd like to send me a pic, I'd be happy to look at it, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to "see" any particular breeds, but I'll certainly take a look!
