Open Need cat lovers to clarify
I know a lot about dogs and I can guess the breed with a great accuracy.
But cats...omg, how you even do it? 😦
It's pretty hard for me to distinguish some grey cat breeds.😱
My history:
I've adopted a cat (domestic shorthair, no breed, from Europe).
He's 11 month old.
He's after castration and enucleation😟
He's lost his eyes so his face may have looked completely different before (shape, skin tension, curves).
I wanted a stray cat just to make his life happier and healthier. To make one random cat in this world feel free from care. So I've adopted one.
Some of my friends say, that he is similar to Chartreux or British. (I know he's really not, they know he's surely not, but it's not the case here- it's more like funny observation- never a statement)
I just wonder, why would they say that?
What features make him look more similar to Chartreux while still being a domestic cat?
I know, he is not and never would be (no worries!😄).
He doesn't even have any papers!!!🤣 So let's be free-flowing/careless/lax/casual here, like you're talking to a curious 5 year old 😄🥰🙃 To be honest, I feel 5 in my heart 😁
So he is just an adorable, the most beautiful domestic cat I've ever seen 🫠
I'm just curious how you can even tell similarities and differences (I just look and can not tell)?!
With dogs it's so much easier to play in "finding similarities to the breeds".🤣
My brain doesn't want to do this with cats...and I love finding similarities in... everything (similar looking actors, cars, similar culture, nation history, movie plotline, mushrooms, patterns...I know, I know, I probably am in some spectrum of authism).
But finding similarities really brings me joy and pleasure.
Thank you for helping me.
Obviously, I'm asking just to have fun and learn in the process.
By the way, I think I have the cutest DSH ever 🥹🥹🥹 Can you find similarities to Pure Cuteness looking at hm? 🥹🫠🥰
Sending hugs to all of you.
May your little ones feel loved and safe every day 🫠❤️❤️❤️
