What is this cat??

[StuckHurtDone]

I rehomed this cat as an 8 week old farm kitten (saw him with his brothers/sisters) . He was feral!! He has settled in well, loves his home. He has been neutered and chipped by me since coming home. BUT whilst I know he’s a feral farm cat… he’s definitely got Siamese in him hasn’t he? He’s VERY vocal, much like a Siamese! But I know he came from a farm, mum was a feral farm cat. So surely theres no way he could be part Siamese?

Yes, Siamese. Potentially a cross, or Ragdoll x domestic short hair?

Aw, he looks like ours that are cross Siamese/ragdolls. Enjoy!

Or possibly Burmese? Looks pretty similar to DBro's Burmese...

After a particularly shitty time, he’s a very welcome addition! I just feel like I’m him doing him some kind of injustice when I have registered him as a feral farm cat! - that’s exactly what he is I know! He is ace (although a psycho after he’s eaten and will chase the shit out of anyone who dares move and bite them til they bleed 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣)

Insurance should be cheaper for a farm moggy than for an exotic breed 😀

Dad must be an aristocratic Siamese who was slumming it in the farmyard…

We had a Siamese growing up. He sounded like a crying baby!

This is exactly what he sounds like!!!

Judging by most men… this is quite possible!

He's beautiful OP, may you both be happy together for many years

Seal point Burmese / Siamese I would guess.

He's definitely got the Himalayan gene, which causes the distinctive colouration in Siamese cats and other breeds (and other animals eg rabbits) . It's a recessive gene which means both of his parents carried it! I don't know how often this crops up in the moggy gene pool, possibly there's been a bit of inbreeding.

It really is quite an interesting phenomenon!

He's a colourpoint so he could have got the colour from a number of breeds, colourpoint ferals are more common in America but I haven't seen any in the UK, he's a little cutie. I breed ragdolls and funnily the seal points I've had (the colour of your little guy) are far more chatty than the other colours, just like siamese are known to be.
