Hey there, I took my cat to a new vet the other day (nothing serious, just for his booster shot) and they asked me the breed. I had no idea, and have been curious since! I got him three years ago from a shelter as a kitten. Here he is back then:
As you can see he is mostly pure white with medium short hair (it's extremely thick and soft, more so than any other cats I had as a kid), though as a kitten he had a pronounced black patch on his head and also about half way up his tail. These have both faded with age and there are now only a few black hairs in each spot (his post-bath picture shows this best, he needed it as he went to the toilet on himself in the car!).
Here he is at three (first four pics) and two (last two pics):
As you can see, he is very handsome and huge! Weights about 6kg and isn't fat at all. Very long limbs and tail and has quite a liking of water, as you can see where he's playing in the mist from the hose in the last picture. He's also obsessed with the sink and will sometimes want to come in the shower with me, where he stays out of the main stream of water but enjoys the experience.
Personality wise, he is a very odd cat. He plays fetch with his toys like a dog would, and also plays hide and seek with me. His favourite is seeking, where I'll often hide behind a corner and he will tear out and jump at me, usually at around face level, but he never hits me or uses claws. He has nearly scared me to death a few times though when I'm walking down the corridor and don't realise that we're playing though. He's extremely sociable in that he always wants to be in whichever room that I'm in, though he only allows me to pick him up for a cuddle twice a day (when we wake up in the morning and when I return from work or uni). Any other time and it's all struggling and loud meows. My friends all think he's horrible and can't stand him and he'll make his displeasure very known if I have a female friend stay over and she takes his side of the bed.
Any ideas? Could he be some form of pure bred or cross breed that didn't make the cut so they send him to the cats home? Or is he just a very white domestic moggie? Any ideas appreciated as I would like to know! Also happy to answer any questions as I like to talk about him
Thanks!
