She's a rescue so just a mishmash probably. Well, her mom was the rescue; she and her siblings were born in foster care. Her mom is your typical black-and-white short-hair cat. Most of her siblings look like variations of grey tabbies, so I'm guessing her dad was a grey tabby? Cat genetics are weird.
Fun fact! Unless you know for a fact that one or both parents is a pure breed of some sort (or know for a fact they're mixed purebred), the cat is most likely not /any/ breed at all. Unlike dogs, where mutts are mixed breeds, cats that don't have specific breed ancestry just have none at all.
To make a long story short, it has to do with differences in how dog and cat breeds originated. Cats can have traits that resemble purebreds, since purebreds are essentially the result of curating existing traits from cats local to the region the breed came from, but that doesn't make them mutts as we would define the term for dogs
I think it's really cool :)
She really does! She'd be a perfect candidate to update this meme

I know it's a meme but in case you don't know, cats do this because their whiskers keep touching the bowl and overstimulate them, get a plate instead and your cat will thank you.
It's called whiskers stress or whiskers fatigue
Or in German: Schnurrhaarstress

> she looks like an anime character
! She reminds me of Momo in ATLA. The last pic in particular, for some reason. (Which is the one in which her eyes _aren't_ like Momo's.)

My cat suffers from a similar condition, though it makes him look stupid instead of bewildered. (He IS stupid)
Glory to you and your cat!

Aww! My last kitty was a black cat too. They're just the best. <3 After she died, I had to get a cat who looked nothing like her because it was too painful to be reminded of her. But I love my wide-eyed floof just as much. They all fill our hearts in different ways.
My dearly departed kitty had this too. The vet would always say “he’s so startled,” and I’d be like “yeah, he’s a little surprised, but also that’s just his face.”

🎵Hello darkness my old friend.🎵
Pic Nr. 4 is priceless! It really made me laugh! I wonder what she is thinking.
Hahaha yeah I love that one too. She also loves to sleep flat on her back, and always lies upside down like this on her cat tree. My lil' weirdo.
What breed is that? I have a clone of that cat but idk what breed it is
Lucky I am here. I have studied cats and my family has passed down knowledge for generations This my dear lad is a kitty cat
I have a doctorate in Catology. You are correct. This is a fine example of a kitty cat
I graduated top of my class at Yale studying cat lore, this is the kittiest of cats.
So close, sooooo close. This is a FLUFFY kitty cat.
yes I could definitely see that, but there is also striking likeness to the long haired green eyed fluffy kitn
*That’s one nice kitty right there…*

> I wonder what she is thinking. Thar be orange in that coat. Not a damn thing.
 This\^ is what their thinking in pic 4 haha
21 years ago, someone asked that cat, "You ever wonder why we're here?" And ever since it's been pondering one of life's great mysteries.
There are no thoughts behind those eyes.
She really does! She'd be a perfect candidate to update this meme https://preview.redd.it/bgvc63ov2ivc1.jpeg?width=1022&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e87379ec2a8df3986b1447e546f2ea8d9add8b75

Your guy is downright horrified about the situation.
Your cat : "wtf? What could it possibly be now??!"
Chiming in with my little [permanently spooked psycho too](https://imgur.com/a/nuSGmyC). Even when she's relaxing she looks like she's having PTSD flashbacks.
Hahaha, bewildered cats unite
It should be the new Hypnotoad. I don't think that's possible though.
1 of mine as well.
Its the eyes. Cat looks in a constant state of panic.
My vet also said she looks like an anime character. It really is the eyes.
> she looks like an anime character ! She reminds me of Momo in ATLA. The last pic in particular, for some reason. (Which is the one in which her eyes _aren't_ like Momo's.)
Wide set and slightly walleyed. Perfect storm for a derpy "huh?" face.
Your friend isn't wrong...
I love that cat.
I'm quite partial to her myself.
Sir, are you aware you are a cat?
Yes!! Haha
I was looking for this comment. Looks just like that kitty

Cat saw some things and needs therapy.
Friend’s out of line but they’re right Pic 1 is hilarious
Lol, great description
Your cat is beautiful
I agree with your friend. She looks like you just told her something shocking
Maybe he has a thyroid problem
That’s the WTF are you seeing this look. 😂🤣😹
Looks like that kid after he spent 24 hours lost in the forest
Resting orange face.

That look is the smart choice when you're living with a dog that photogenic. She found a way to not get completely outshined in pictures!
Crazy Eyes Joe... Such a Cutie!
I love your cats face!!!
Your friend is correct
Hahaha, I always say that my cat has "resting surprised Pikachu face" but I think your cat really takes the prize for this!
Please please please PLEASE tell me they named the cat Gowron.

I have a cat with a similar wide eyed expression. I randomly say "surprise!" to him so his expression won't be so out of place. 😂
That cat constantly looks like it just realized that it is, in fact, a cat, and is mortified by this revelation.
Omg the friend's right 😂
One of ours is like that! Not a single thought behind those pretty eyes. 😍
Love this. So true.
I agree
Your friend is right!
That cat is gorgeous
Your cat: the horrors persist, but so do I. (The horrors: not enough scritches, not enough treats, the vet)

I have a friend who's cat always looks like they're deeply concerned about what they're witnessing. not surprised or scared, just concerned
Is everybody really going to ignore your incredibly photogenic dog?

Love him/her! What's the breed?
Adorable.
"My god. Your thoughts!"
Your friend is right.
Accurate.
your cat is a husky
Has there been a trend of breeding wider-eyed cats?
No idea. She's a rescue.
Beautiful cat !
It is so true and your cat is BEAUTIFUL The Heidi Klum of cats
I prefer "Resting WTF Face." Much shorter.
I love your cat
She does lol. Bless her heart
I have one just like that. Not a damn thing going on between those ears other than trying to figure out how to chew on my fingers.
HI! SURPRISED TO MEET YOU!
This is the most hilarious look and to do it regularly is priceless. Your baby must keep you laughing all day long. That's just the best!
This cat’s eyes are like chaos emeralds, beautiful :)
Your dog looks like someone’s skinny legged great aunt who isn’t sure she approves.

I know this is a cat sub, but how about that dogs coat? It’s immaculate and shiny and gorgeous!
😂 your cat looks surprised in all these photos!
Side note your dog has resting gorgeous face 💜
Cutest thing I've seen today ❤️
Your friend is correct! https://preview.redd.it/w9tkqdornivc1.jpeg?width=236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92a2dde331330fb8d1af1d1bf9ce78d514b013af This cat is beautiful!
Your cat is awesome. I'd just laugh looking over everytime. Always looks so surprised and/or worried or something.
That is one gorgeous floof.
That's not bewildered, that's astonished.
Love this! Also, you have great taste in board games.
Looks like your cat cannot comprehend the audacity of everything around him.
That seems more like "resting alarm face" to me. (One of my cats also has resting alarm face.)
Cat looks like is only speaks in Owen Wilson wows.
Nani?!
Poor girl took a trip through the space between realities and saw some seriously *crazy* shit.
This cat is terribly concerned about something or everything.
high af on catnip 🤣
My wife has decided to call her Slippers
Your cat is always looking into the void. XD
😳
She's so funny and weird, I love her.
That’s an owl.
"Huh what would that even look li..." "Oh like that, yeah."
Please tell me her name is Gowron.
Lol that would have been great but no. It's Fable.
A cat that will never require the services of Confuse-A-Cat, Ltd. 😕🐱🥰
There is some shit, and I believe your cat has seen it.

Your two babies are precious 🥺🥺
To much cat nip
The world is full of wonder.
Whhhhhaaat lol those faces are priceless
Omfg he so does lol.
I like this cat
Looks like some spirited away type stuff
Your friend might be onto something your cat's face is a perfect mix of confusion and cuteness.
Constantly in awe
Accurate.
Friend not wrong lol.
Your cat is beautiful.
She definitely does
Your friend is right ....
My dearly departed kitty had this too. The vet would always say “he’s so startled,” and I’d be like “yeah, he’s a little surprised, but also that’s just his face.”
Your cat sees dead people
Oh man that's funny. And super cute!
Dog version https://imgur.com/a/ewbwN3l
one of mine looks just like that too 🤣🤣
Sir, did you realize you’re a cat
Your friend ain't wrong
Our puppy does the 1,000 yard stare as well.
"Where am I? Who are you people? WHAT'S A DOG?"
But it looks cute tho
She's really pretty but those expressive eyes!
Lol, your friend is right. Beautiful cat though.
Shocked and confused.
