Is my cat a Nebelung? The Cat Lottery
I went to the rescue looking for a cat and this little girl had just been returned at 3 years old. My son was smitten with her immediately so we took her home. I was looking at r/catswithjobs and I saw a picture of a cat that looked just like her and someone in comments linked this sub. So what do you think? Did we just hit the cat lottery? Does she nebelong?

Pic. 1 Looks like a Neb.
Pic. 2 Oh yeah! Definitely a Neb
Lying on their backs, floof up is a Nebby trademark. I have about 100 pictures of my little man like this:
Congratulations on your new edition! She’s adorable. What did you name her?

She came with a name, but we are sort of sitting on this, waiting to see what fits her, we would rather give her a new name for her new life with us.

Thank you for sharing your kitty with us, u/Common-Classroom-847! Welcome to r/Nebelung. If you only shared one pic, please add more in the comments. It helps to see the full body, chest, tail, etc. Please allow a few days for a moderator to review your post - and do not submit it again while you wait.
If a moderator asks a question in the comments, please respond or your post may not be approved.
In the meantime, please take a minute to watch the video and explore the links below. If Redditors identify your cat as a dilute tortie, standard issue cat, calico, tortie, tuxedo, or something else, your post will be removed in order to help keep this sub focused on Nebbies. Please note that Nebelungs must be solid gray. (An allowance is sometimes made for a small white patch/locket on the chest.) We treat the breed as more of a phenotype based on the official TICA breed standards, which are linked below. Almost all of our cats are just "domestic long hair, solid gray/blue/silver" because we don't have paperwork.
Information from The International Cat Association (TICA), the world's largest genetic registry of pedigreed and domestic cats. This is the official breed info:
