Hi guys,
First post ever but I wanted to see if anyone knew what type of cat I have had for the past 5-6 years?
He's a rescue cat that was dumped in front of my house on my street in the middle of the night in a rain storm.
He had 2 or 3 other bro/sisters and I found the little guy crying in my yard at 3am.
Scooped him up and hes been mine ever since, named him Dexter and I have to say I was a dog person
before all this but i have sworn off Dogs and have fallen for Cats! (even though I have a dog who I love very much too)
Anyways, any help would be great. I have seen like 3-4 different types of cats that look similar but I have not idea what I am doing or if I am
close at all in comparing them. I'm sure it will be fast and easy for anyone but myself since hes my first cat and introduction into the cat side of things.
I worked for 4-5 years in the Dog Rescue side of things and never worked with cats so any help would be amazing!
Also do any of your cats suck on their tails at nights when going to sleep and cuddling with you?
Dexter only does it when we are about to sleep and he snuggles up under my arm and starts purring very very loudly while sucking on his tail.
He then passes out while doing so in very deep sleep, I am assuming this is due to being away from his Mother too early maybe?
He's a beautiful cat but he looks very similar to a Birman, Himalayan, the markings on his head look very similar to a Siberian too so I just can't figure it out.
In the pictures I have the night i found him as the kitten, then maybe at 6 months to a year and the last where he finally got all his color was a week ago, Sorry about
the laundry in the 3rd picture, he loves to dig out my laundry and sleep in the basket lol.
Thanks,
Mark
