Hi all 
Now before I say anything, I know that without papers, Kramer is just a tabby and white domestic shorthair. But, I think it can be fun to speculate about what breeds might make up our moggies
(My apologies if this isn't an appropriate thread for the Breeders' Corner!)
My thoughts are that Kramer somewhat resembles an American Shorthair because of his head shape and body type. I know his head isn't round enough to be a purebred (obviously
) but it's much rounder than Boots' head. He also has more of a muscular body type than Boots, who is oriental-ish.
Here he is! I tried to get different angles so you could see head and body shape.
If I'm totally off-base, I'd love to hear ideas about what else he might look like, or if he even looks like any breed at all. It's super hard to get him to look at the camera, but I can try to get better pictures if you need me to.
Now, he does have some significant personality differences from the ASH. He's certainly not quiet; he's one of the most vocal cats I've ever met, and I've had friends with purebred Siamese cats. He's definitely a lap snuggler and a purrbucket a good bit of the time. He also LOVES to meet strangers and guests, and will trot right up for a pet and headbumps as soon as they walk in the door. He likes to sleep in strange places (especially in the washing machine), but he isn't a Professional Adventurer like Boots is. He will stalk a bug if it gets in, though.
Anyway, TIA for the replies.
