Most house cats are mutts anyway. So there's really no need to be too specific. nomorenomore08 Apr 2013 #12

Yeah, interestingly enough, Bob's mom was white all over. nomorenomore08 Apr 2013 #16

Actually Bob has a "normal" shaped body, and AFAIK so did his grandmother. nomorenomore08 Apr 2013 #18

I have no doubt that if cats had a concept of language they would consider "human" an insult.

BTW that looks like a Himalayan with Siamese coloring and eyes. Or is it just a long-haired Siamese?

The breed was created by crossing and recrossing Siamese with Persians. Longhaired Siamese are called Balinese.

And my 11-year-old cat, Bob, happens to be a (short-hair) Siamese mix - he has the black 'n tan coloring and the blue eyes.

His papa was unknown. Hamlet was blue and white with no tabby markings and copper eyes. He had the typical stocky Persian body. His mom's owner said she may have seen the dad. If she did, he was a large blue longhair.

But her mother had the Siamese "look" - whether or not she was a purebred - so I guess it just skipped a generation.

They have that slender Siamese (foreign) body type and come in several different solid (self) colors and tabby patterns. Or maybe she was just a Siamese mix.

As I understand it, that's the "classic" Siamese as opposed to the "modern."

I figure he doesn't need anyone to inflate his ego - cats in general already think very highly of themselves, seems to me.

He is relatively friendly with other cats, though, so he might be down with a couple of playmates.
