okey, so it's gray with black stripes all over it! I think I read somewhere that it has a close relative who's a bobcat. And what else... she eats a lot and she's very fat. She likes to meow a lot too.

I agree with not buying from a pet store. Look in the paper and see about free kittens. And most shelters have to have given them their shots. Make an agreement that you will have your vet check out cat and if not healthy you can return it!! ALL cats shed every spring but a short-haired cat will shed less and with daily brushings the shedding is minimal. Cats shed continually but the grooming cuts it way down. Usually a tabby breed or a Tortoise Shell is good for family habitat. Your pure bred cats will cost money depending on the breed,so a "mutt" is always good! I have a tabby/torty mix and she's the best behaved,small,patient cute cat I have!! I also have a Maine Coon mix and while he's got personality out the ying-yang,he's mean and long haired and gets matted very easily. My other cat is a Fire Point Siamese and he's VERY friendly and a sissy-la-la but he's the most loveable! A good family cat is the one the family loves!! All were gotten from friends giving away kittens!

Ok so first of all color usually mean very little to nothing when it comes to determining breed of a cat. Size, body shape, and face/head shape are what you look at.
If she eats a lot then immediatly get her on a diet. you should limit the amount of food to about 1.25 cups of food a day MAXIMUM.
Being overweight can cause as many problems in cats as it can in people. To test if she is overweight get her to stand and run both hands along her sides. If you can feel the ribs easile without using a lot of pressure (the same as when petting) then she should be ok.
Get into a vet about your cats weight. Maybe your vet can help about the breed.
Honestly though, unless you got her from a breeder then chances are she's a mutt (mix breed).

It is probably just a tabby colored Domestic Shorthair (DSH). It could be a Manx, especially if it has no tail or just a little nub. There is no sure fire way of knowing what breed your cat is unless you buy from a breeder. Just love your little kitty unconditionally and provide her with a safe and loving home :)

Sound like an exotic cat - must be from the DOMESTIC CAT family. A.K.A. DSH or DMH or DLH.
It also sounds like she is overweight and is very vocal, another quality that the DOMESTIC cats share when living the life as a DOMESTIC cat vs a wild cat.

Most cats are not any breed at all unless you paid a lot of money for it from a breeder. Most people have DSH (domestic short hair), DMH (domestic medium hair), or a DLH (domestic long hair).

Maine Coon Cat? It is hard to say without seeing her. Hope she isn't pregnant!

Are you sure it's not a grey tabby?
