My cat is mixed breed, was told Ragdoll/Snowshoe, new profile pic included.

misterwhiskers · Jan 25, 2015

Hi, this is not for breeding purposes as my boy is fixed, I'm just curious. He was born to a feral colony but mother was kept inside during heats. Obviously as she was continually pregnant this was unsuccessful.
The people who cared for my boys mother and father were 100% sure of parentage. Mother was supposedly Ragdoll. But I have doubts. Father DEFINITELY Siamese and likely Snowshoe given coloring. Father was VERY good father, despite being feral and afraid of humans, he insisted on sleeping on my threshold after I took his kitten in.

I might show him in household pet category someday. He casts a spell on everyone he meets--the vet techs fight to pick him up, and one wants to adopt him away from me if anything ever happens to me.

He's got a curvy nose, but as a kitten had the typical triangle face of a Siamese. His build is solid but he is extremely long--34" nose to tip of tail. Coat is somewhat longer than typical Siamese. Ears are rounded.

Thanks for answering my curiosity!

Aww, he is beautiful .. I do see Ragdoll . ( I had a Ragdoll boy Henry , he died 3 years ago at only 2 years old from cancer )..

Your boy is very handsome and regal looking ..

Aw, 2cats4me, I am so sorry about Henry. Ragdolls are very devoted...it must have been crushing to lose him so young. I take as best care as I can of my boy, and put the rest in Gods hands that we have many happy years together.

thank you , yes it was really sad .. I actually adopted him at 1 year old from a " breeder " and was told he was healthy . I found out at his vet exam that he had F.I.P and Lymphoma . I tried to contact her to let her know but her phone was disconnected ..

I believe it's possible for the mom to be a Ragdoll and the father to be a Siamese. I would believe the people on their word, as your cat seems like the mix they stated.

He's absolutely beautiful, congratulations!

Well if I didn´t know anything about its background and based only in those pictures I could easily mistake your cat for an snow shoes.

I wonder if there might be someplace you could report her, although if FIP was found in her other cats, she may have decided to get out of the business. Not sure there's a test for FIP...so possibly, she might not have known, although it seems odd she'd have changed her number. What a sad story.

Thank you. He has the sweetest personality, although there were moments as a kitten he was a real hellion. [emoji]128576[/emoji] He has completely bonded to me, only me. He's very communicative, not just vocally, much more so than any other cat Ive had, and I grew up with 5 cats. He also hates being by himself, so when ir if I can, I may get either another cat, or even a dog. He seems to really like most dogs, and can even fetch!!

His father might have been a Snowshoe, or carried some if the gene, as he was mitted. But so was the mother. Father was so dark a Siamese as to be almost black on his face.

Found your post by accident. Saw your pictures and thought they looked like my boy, Moss. When I showed your pictures to my wife, she agreed, saying they must be twins.

misterwhiskers · Jul 1, 2017

Oh wow! He even has Robin's body type! I had to look twice at the pic of Moss laying on his side! Do you know his history?

misterwhiskers · Jul 1, 2017

I swear they look like brothers! :biggrin:
