Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / November 2004Really Unusual Cat
We got a new intake that has to be the most unusual cat I've ever seen come through. We've talked about moggies here, and shelter who hang purebred labels on them, but if I were going to hang a label on this one, I wouldn't know which one. She is marked like a Siamese cross, with blue eyes. She is petite. She has a very short coat. Her face is smooshed like a Persian. Her head is as round as a bowling ball, and her eyes are large and perfectly round, like a Scottish Fold. If I get back down there I'll get a picture,but I was wondering. Is there any breed with a smooshed face and short coat? Sherry > We got a new intake that has to be the most unusual cat I've ever seen come > through.

I saw an exotic persian at a rescue centre last month. He had a normal shorthair coat but the persian scrunched up nose and persian temperament. There is a photo of him in the 'cats available for adoption' section of their website - he is 'Teddy' http://www.chapelhouse-persians.co.uk/ SignatureI.P.Freely > We got a new intake that has to be the most unusual cat I've ever seen come > through.

Sounds like this one will find a home fast. << If I get back down there I'll get a picture,but I was wondering. Is there any breed with a smooshed face and short coat?

Do they come as masked cats? This cat has got to be a breeder mistake or something like that, or the product of someone's purebred mixed with moggie. I'll also check her paperwork and see what the story is on her. She came in already spayed, which is also not that common. Sherry >Thanks everyone. Do they come as masked cats?

She >came in already spayed, which is also not that common. Yes, exotic shorthairs can be pointed (Siamese-type color pattern.) See an example at http://www.bellakitty.com/ If the cat just has a round face without the "smooshed in" quality, it could be another breed or mixed breed with points. Points do not necessarily mean a cat has a purebed in its background. >If the cat just has a round face without the "smooshed in" quality, it could >be >another breed or mixed breed with points.

It's just a weird-looking little cat. I do think there's a purebred in the woodpile somewhere, though :-) I hope this isn't a trend-I mean, I just hope there's not somebody out there playing "breeder" and producing them deliberately. Poor little thing, I just can't stop thinking about her. She is so timid and scared.

She is so timid and >scared. After the Twisty Kats incident, I would not be surprised at the crazy ideas some people playing "breeder" come up with. This kitty sounds like a real sweety. I'm sure you'll find a good home for her soon. In what state are you located?
