Again, I can't really tell from the photo as it's a tad too small.

I'm definitely no expert but its the ear tufts and the little spots on the legs that interest me. The face and body shape is bengal ish but the coat looks a little long. Kind of marble pattern coat. The ear tufts are found in main coons I think, and main coons have the longer coat. Your gorgeous kitty could be a bengal, tabby, main coon mix!!!!

I'm wondering if this is a marbled savannah. The tufted ears are not characteristics of a bengal. And the face is certainly not a Maine Coon. This is a different type of cat. There are many types of hybrids. Who knows what this beautiful kitty has in its background. Such a spectacular kitty cat. Definitely a marble of some type. This is probably a cat I'd have a DNA test on just because I'd be curious as to what the results would show. There are do-it-yourself tests for sale online. You have to send the sample in to the lab. I've just never seen a kitten like this before.

I just googled marble savannah. Think you may be on to something Sherry! The ears are right size wise but where do the tufts come from? DNA test great idea!
