Question

My girl
I now own a rescue cat, got her as a kitten, she was found in a dumpster, she will be around a yr in may ,What kind of cat do I have? Ive been told Abyssinian, or siamese from how I describe her personality, the way she bites and runs, like she has fire in her butt (LOL), I love her, she is now with 2 other kittens, sisters and they all get along well!!! :)

Answer
Cathy,

from your picture, she appears to be a cream ticked tabby domestic shorthair.  There may be Abyssinian in her background as the ticked tabby gene came form the Abyssinian, but has been in the feral population for a long time.

Best regards... Norm.
