Hello,
I have researched and read a lot of information online, and I'm still confused about what breeds my mixed cat is! I adopted Rory from the shelter in January 2015, and the vet said she was a year old. Her appearance has changed drastically since then. The first picture (with the cage background) was taken at the shelter. She was mostly cream colored with a darker tail and ears, and a red nose. She has blue eyes, which are crossed. The shelter had her listed as a Siamese mix. The second picture was taken about 2 months later and you can see her crossed eyes. The last picture was recently, and it's clear she has some calico and tabby, but I'm not as sure about the Siamese part. She has never had traditional points; her feet are all white. Can a Siamese mixed breed have white legs? Could she be a ragdoll mix? But can ragdolls have short hair, or crossed eyes? Some other traits that might help:
Physical Traits:
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Calico-tabby (torbie), with white markings. (the red is coming in slowly on her back, making her look sort of pink right now)
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Not quite pointed as she has no colors on her legs (except for a red tabby patch on one front elbow). Does have points on her nose, ears, and tail.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]The fur on her back has grown considerably darker over 8 months.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Short hair and extremely soft. Sheds like crazy!
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Pink paw pads
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Eyes are blue and crossed. She has poor vision and can’t see anything more than about 5 feet away.
Temperament:
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Extremely skittish, scared of everything. Probably related to her poor eyesight and whatever happened to her before the shelter. She’s getting better, slowly.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Extremely devoted to me; she seems to think I’m her actual mother. Was obviously taken from her mother too early.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Very cuddly
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Very talkative
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Very playful. Adores toys, and will even fetch.
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Hates to be alone (meaning without me, since she doesn’t like anyone else).
[if !supportLists]· [endif]She won’t struggle when picked up, though she doesn’t like it (so maybe some ragdoll)?
[if !supportLists]· [endif]Non-aggressive
Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!
