Hello! I was looking through this forum, and hoped someone could help me ID my cat Wilson. He's definitely a mix, but he's pretty unique.
I found this guy outside while we were walking home about six months ago, all dirty and starving and, horribly enough, declawed.
He has long fur, but it doesn't really seem to mat at all - it's fine, and doesn't really seem to be a double coat at all. He also has stubby little front legs, and has trouble jumping even two feet up onto the couch (this may also be arthritis in his back legs, though). His face is pretty flat, and he actually had entropion in his right eye that we just had corrected.
I've had a lot of people tell me he looks like a Siberian or Forest Cat, and I would agree except that he weighs all of 8 lbs. He weighed 7 when I found him, immediately put on 1, and has been 8 lbs for six months.
He's extremely vocal, but not super cuddly or affectionate. He also will eat anything and everything he can get his paws on (potato chips, pasta... we have to make sure we don't drop anything from the table or he goes after it like a dog!), although that might be a result of being outside rather than some kind of true personality trait.
Sorry for the instagram photos, it's all I have right now! And thanks for any thoughts on what kind of breeds he might have descended from.
