The vast majority of domestic cats do not belong to any particular breed. Breeds of cats are created by humans, by selective breeding. Most breeds were invented in the 20th century. The only way to know if a cat belongs to a particular breed is by looking at its pedigree.
Breeds of cats are not like species of birds--you can't identify a breed by looking at a chart of pictures or a field identification handbook. In particular, the color and markings are not definitive. Many of the physical characteristics that distinguish cat breeds are related to conformation, rather than markings: head shape, eye shape, ear set, body length, and so on.
If your cat doesn't have a pedigree, it is not a member of a specific breed. That's ok--a pedigree is of no value to the cat, anyway.
