Makes sense! :) I just love learning about the history behind stuff like that anyway, so even if it is disappointing it would at least be itching some curious part of my brain. Thank you for elaborating further!
What a pretty cat! Unfortunate about the tail, though :(
It's really cool to learn how cats and dogs differ in the breed department! That makes sense, though. Since I'm pretty sure Kano was born and raised to a stray/feral family, it would make sense that he'd have a very mixed appearance :)
I was leaning towards Japanese Bobtail for Kano, but I haven't been able to find any that look like him online 🤔 Honestly, I can't find any bobtail cats that really look like him! They all look so small and squishy... LOL. He's really big and very lean with pretty long legs! He looks a little...
Someone else said similar, which surprised me! I've never actually seen one irl before other than these 2! I will say, though, I'm pretty sure I saw the mother of the brown cat (Kano) walking around after we took him in. She was visually very similar except she had a tail 🤔
That's interesting! I really had no idea they were common as I haven't actually seen one before other than these 2 (I have online, of course, just not in real life). I've definitely heard about the American Bobtail before! :0
Oh omg!! A cat DNA test would be super cool!! I'll absolutely look to do one!! I have 3 other cats as well and am confused about the origins of 2 of them so I think that would be super fun to see what all our cats may be!!
Your kitty is so adorable! He looks very polite :) Based on his...
I was thinking it was a mutation of sorts, yes! :) I don't believe they're related at all due to their completely different size, bone structure, fur texture, coat color, pattern, etc. The only similarity is the fact they don't have full tails.
I was considering that he might've lost part of...
Oooh, that's interesting!! I didn't know :0 I knew about the fact they could come in all colors/patterns/fur lengths, but I didn't know they weren't all tailless :)
Hi! I know I posted a different thread before (like, last night... LOL. sorry if there's a rule against posting new threads frequently! I didn't see one :0), but since everyone was so helpful I wanted to see if people would be able to pinpoint the mystery of two of our other 2 cats: Kano and...
I assumed she'd be a tabby of some sort, just wasn't sure if she had any trace of something else that could be spotted :) Thank you very much!! She is very cute!
Thank you very much for the advice!! I'll be sure to let my mom know (since I am still only 17)! Only the front part of our house is busy, but we have a VERY large and even backyard with lots of grass and trees that's completely fenced in (which another point of confusion as to how she got...
Hi! So, long story short, this lovely gal just showed up in our backyard the other day. We're in the process of figuring out what to do with her (since we have 3 other cats in the house that are not fond of newcomers), but in the meantime, I wanted to see if anyone had an idea of what she might...
