Hey guys! I am new here, and I look forward to getting more involved in the community!
I adopted a kitten from a local shelter about 3 months ago. His name is Harry, and he first caught my eye as a little white ball of fluff. He was eaten up with fleas, and extremely malnourished. He looked so scared in the cage, and I just knew he had to be mine. The first couple of months he was really skittish, and didn't like to be held or pet as he was neglected and abused. But now I'm happy to say he's turned into the biggest mama's boy ever, he even lays on my feet when I wash my face of the mornings and evenings
Anyways, he looks an awful lot like a Turkish Angora to me. He has the super silky coat that never matts, fur in-between his toes, and the almond shaped eyes (he's also HUGE, he's bigger than my recently deceased adult male at only 6 months old). The woman at the humane society said he was a mutt- which I believe- but how is it possible for him to come from two DSHs and look so much like a T.A.? Any opinions you can give would be appreciated, I've read up on it but have never come close to seeing another DLH that looks so identical to a T.A. Thanks!
