Hi there.
I've been an avid watcher of this forum for a while but have only recently registered as I'm curious about my young tom, Sam.
He's 8 months old and after a few health scares he's coming along really well (he's tiny for a tom! but healthy!)
I got him from a pet shop near where I live in the UK which is normally a no-no around here but once I saw him all by himself I couldn't leave him!
Anyway, the reason I'm posting is because a few people have commented on his shape and colouring, that it doesn't look the same as a domestic British shorthair. I've had 9 cats to date with sadly only two still with me and I've not come across a so called 'moggy' with his glossy chocolate-brown colouring.
Anyone with more experience in cat colours/breeds fill me in?
Thanks!
