Just your thought on my breed of cat.

[glenda dowden]

I have a 3.5 year old male cat. I thought that he might be some sort of hybrid wild cat. He has some of the most interesting characteristics. For one, he has a 6th toe on one of his back feet. He has a lot of odd markings also. but also he turns very ferrell at times. He attacks me . He lets out a very odd scream and just goes. He just goes crazy. Hes very large. And his try are way bigger than the female cat that I have. I've had cats my whole life. And I have never had a cat like him. He is very interesting. His paws are larger than most cats, he makes odd barks and noises all the time. Hes very territorial also. I'm just not sure what to make of his behavior sometimes. He is I'm a very good cat dont get me wrong. Any thoughts?

I really messed up some words in there. I meant to say his teeth were much larger than my female cat

Do you have pictures? It's hard to tell anything without them. But polydactyly (extra toes) isn't generally seen in wildcats.

As for his behavior, is he neutered? Intact male cats can be somewhat aggressive sometimes.

He is fixed. And yes I do have tons of pics on my facebook page.

Can you post them here? Some of us don't have Facebook .

I just went to your facebook page - wow! They are gorgeous! Where did you get them? (I assume they are littermates). Those are beautiful tabby markings...maybe I've seen too many petite faced cats, but they both have broad, square muzzles - they are probably domestic ( a domestic/wild mix would be so very rare if not intentionally bred), but I can see how they look like they have a bit of wild mixed in. Something in the shape of the eyes and the muzzle...The tufted ears on the male, too...

 I also saw the bite marks on your wrist - that looks nasty indeed. That's a behavior problem you need to fix, fast! But I have to say again, they are stunning!

Both cats on FB are classic tabby patterned domestics.

They are actually not related. She was bought. He was found on the side of the road. And a year apart in age.

And that is actually my foot. This was a full on attack. He ran up the stairs and attacked me while I was just standing there. No reason.

They both look like your everyday average classic tabby domestic shorthairs. Pretty kitties. 

That behavior is very bad though, does he do it often or could it have been because something scared him? Has he or the other kitty gotten out so they could have picked strange smells or something?
