I got a 4 month old kitten, that was about 3.5 pounds. At first I thought it was a birman, since she's a seal point, with white socks, and a siky coat. ( but she does have a white chin)But other people suggest she's a ragdoll. I looked online and can't figure out what she is. Right now she looks like a perfect birman except the white chin. She follows me everywhere and goes limp when you pick her up, really quite and calm, I got her for free from the dog pound, someone turned her in and wrote her breed down as kitten

I thought of snowshoe and went into google and did a search. There are hundreds of links that pertain to snowshoe cats. The link below will show you a few pictures of snowshoe cats. I am pretty sure that is what kind of cat you have. But, you be the judge and look at the pic's. Hope this helps!

I have a ragdoll cat and what you have is definitely a ragdoll. There is no other breed that goes really limp when you pick them up!
My ragdoll cat is a sealpoint with white socks (that's called "mitted") and she is white under the chin. She also has a white blaze on her nose but not all ragdolls have that. You are very fortunate to have this kind of cat - she will make a wonderful friend and companion for you.

sounds like a ragdoll :) while you may never have COMPLETE confirmation since it didn't come from a breeder, you can still search and try to figure it out :) I actually have 2 ragdolls - and both came from the pound. and yes, I KNOW they're ragdolls b/c a breeder took them to be put to sleep b/c they sneezed too much!! they're wonderful-they follow me around unlike any cat I've ever seen - they're so loving- love to be petted, sit in my lap, and yes, they really do go limp when you pick them up :) It's great! there are tons of pics on the internet, and some books on "Rare Cat Breeds" with good pics and descriptions to help you decide what you have :) Hope this helps! whatever it is - sounds like a wonderful new addition :)

You have a lovely little kitten child and she is not any particular breed, just a mixture of characteristics that many cats have. Unless you get a kitten from a breeder they are not a specific breed.

I also have a cat that looks very much like a Birman, and I have been trying to figure out if that is what she is!!!!

sounds like a ragdoll or a ragamuffin. go to www.cfa.com when you see the area for breed look up both. also for more pics go to yahho, type in either ragdoll pics or type in ragamuffin. they are both adorable. good luck with your new family member

The "going limp" is the best clue that she may be a Ragdoll. However, she may not be a purebreed.

Unless you care what kind of kitty you've got, you probably won't know if you don't ask. You've got a new member of the family, and that should be enough. Good luck and congrats on the newest addition.
