What kind of cat do you think he is? He is very orange and has really green eyes. He is lazy but very sweet. I think he is a mix of somthing but here is a picture of him and you can decide for yourself what kind of breed he is.

He looks like a domestic medium/long hair orange tabby.
Domestic short hair, domestic medium hair, and domestic long hair are terms for any domesticated cat that isn't a specific breed (mixed cats).
(And no, he's not a Persian. He may have some Persian in him somewhere, but he doesn't have the trademark "smooshed" face of a Persian....making it pretty unlikely that he is one.)

Your cat resembles a Turkish Angora to some extent but the likelyhood of that being the case is slim. Most cats, at least in countries such as the US, Canada, and any other place their ancestors had to get to by boat, are no particular breed. Occasionally the cat will have prominant identifiable features such as the cheshire face of the British Shorthair, which can testify to at least some of it's lineage, but most cats are mixed. Cats are strange when it comes to genetics. Kittens from the same litter can have entirely different markings and builds, and not just because they very often have different fathers. Even within pure bred cats there is an astounding amount of variation. Unlike dogs, where typically two black and tan German Shepherds yeiled black and tan German Shepherds, cats within one breed can often have a variety of markings because of the manifestation of genes from generations past.
Unless the breed is completely obvious, cats are usually just identified by their coat length, color, and marking type.

From the pic, he may have a little Maine Coon in him because of the medium length hair and the look/shape of his face/neck area -but that could be a little Norwegian in him too... All in all, he looks like a general Domestic Medium Hair (DMH) - no specifics here, he could be a mix of several breeds from lines of long ago... just enjoy!!

DLH - domestic long hair. This is the generic name for a non-specific breed of domestic cat. There is probably som persian, hence the long hair, but the coloring is wrong. Just a run of the mill DLH most likely.

He isn't any particular breed. He is simply a Domestic Medium Hair orange tabby cat.

He's really cute.. not sure what breed though. If you decide to keep him you should probably take him to the vet and get him checked out and I'm sure they can tell you what he is.
Here's an article I found that might help... the cat in question sounds alot like yours actually
