I am thinking this beautiful creature is a female. I see her wearing three distinct colors and with cats more than two colors usually indicates that the animal is a female. I know that there are rare examples of tri-colored males. I am curious about the breed; perhaps some of our feline aficionados could be of help. I would guess Norwegian Forest Cat. We usually do not name right away any new cat that we happen to acquire because before long their proper name becomes evident. I think this pretty girl looks like a Tessa, but she would be called Tessie. Bob, this is another great image.
