So, I'm fostering this little kitten for my local SPCA, and he just looks funny. He came from a hoarder's house, so we have no idea who is parents were. He has two supposed siblings (being from a hoarder, they may not actually be related, but they were found together) that are both sleek and black, one having a white bow tie.
To summarize his appearance, Bear is a little dark brown kitten with thin fur, short whiskers, big ears, and faint stripes. He's a bit chubby, but that's because he's recovering from a bout of constipation. His fur is particularly thin on his stomach. His head, paws, and tail are darker than the rest of his body.
At first I just thought he was funny looking. The SPCA said that black cats sometimes loose some color if they're outside for too long, like sun bleaching.
But my sister thinks that he might be part Rex, Cornish or otherwise. He has a similar looking face to some I've seen online, and the color matches somewhat. He even looks to have little wrinkles on his face. That would also explain his thin fur.
What do you guys think? I know he's mixed, being a shelter cat and all, but I was curious. It doesn't particularly matter since he'll be fixed and adopted soon, and personality trumps breed 100% of the time.
This is Bear:
A look at his face and coloring.
More coloring, head proportions.
His tummy, and a look at the stripes on his sides.
Side stripes, and a playmate, Socks.
He looks darker here, but he's still brown.
