What breed of kitten is this?

Cute kitty! Looks like a domestic shorthair cat. I love my little shelter kitty!

The cone is too small for her. Do you know if I can put this around her stitches so she doesn’t lick at them?

Oh, I wish I knew, kitty was 2 when I adopted her so she had been spayed previously. Some essential oils are toxic to cats so I would check to make sure none of the ingredients would hurt her. Or maybe the shelter or a vet could guide you how to handle her pulling on the stitches. All the best!

Is she cleaning them? You could look at surgery vests if she is cleaning. My last 2 cats have not had anything on and did not touch their stitches, 1 other cat did clean near them but she was shaved quite badly

I looked at the ingredients and it has aloe vera in it which is not good for cats so don’t use it

Thanks. She can fit her whole body through the cone. It is now a tunnel.

We didn’t. We used a male diaper.

She is insane. She kicks all of her litter out of the litter box then poops and then put it all back in the litter box.

If you really want to know her genetics, Wisdom Panel now has cat DNA tests, but they are $150+...Unless it's an obvious breed, DSH (Domestic Short Hair) is about as "breed specific" as you're going to find.

There is a fun little app called "Cat Scanner" (there's also a "dog scanner") that uses photos to determine possible breeds. It's not super accurate on kittens though, it said my cat, Clark, was 75% tiger until he was fully grown! He's over 2 now and it says he's part Maine Coon, which is likely much closer to true than tiger. Lol
