Marley
Please meet today’s Star Kit, Marley. He is 6 weeks old from Dublin.
Marley was given to me three days ago and has a loving family. I’ve never had a cat but I have a big dog. I’d really love to know what breed Marley is so if anyone recognises please let me know.

Céad míle fáilte Marley,
What an adorable kitty! He looks to me like a silver grey tabby, judging by the “M” marking on his wee forehead. In fact he looks a lot like my Dorian Gray Esq. did when he was an itty bitty kitty! Congrats on becoming owned by such a sweetie! 🙂
Marley is a cutie pie! He looks like a Silver Tabby. His stripey markings are very nice. 🙂
I concur . Silver Tabby. We also call his body conformation ‘domestic short-hair’ or DSH here in the states. In British english ‘moggie’. They tend to be healthy, long-lived cats. Marley has a
lovely, inquisitive face, and I’m sure you’ll become a dyed-in-the-wool cat person! Have a wonderful time with him.
Tabby Cat! But to be more accurate, he is a cute as a button Tabby!
Marley is adorable. But please don’t let him play, chew on or swallow the long yarn fringe he is sitting on in the photo. Strings are lethal for kittens and cats who often eat lots of things they shouldn’t.
I wouldn’t expect him to be a pure breed; he’s probably a mix of whoever was living in the area a few months ago.
“Tabby” is not a breed of cat; it’s a certain gene. That’s the gene that gives a cat stripes and, often, that “M” on the forehead. Tabby stripes come in different forms too; a classic tabby has circles or whorls on the sides, while a mackerel tabby has vertical stripes.

Wee Marley is an adorable Irish lad. He is a Silver Tabby and does look like a mini esteemed Dorian Gray, Esq. who is KJs’ avatar.
I’m so glad you’re becoming a doggie/moggie person! Many happy loving times ahead.
Marley is super cute! The grey on his nose running up to the M on his head really make his features stand out. He is one classy kitten!
Omg he’s so cute! Have fun with him!
DSH is the term used here in Ireland as well, it’s how the vet will refer to him.
