He's missing the super long ear hair tufts. Here's my guy for comparison

Uhh that's not a cat, that's the guy who played Hellboy

Lol, maybe you already knew, but there is/was a subreddit called "RonPerlmanCats"

Oh boy... now I discovered that Sarah Connor once fall in love with a Kilrathi. The 80s/90s where a interesting time.

I don’t know why, but your cat is giving strong Ralph Wiggum energy

I think it’s how the hairs that stick out clump into strands

My cat's breath smells like cat food.

If he grows to 2x that size, yes

Probably a domestic longhair. Maine Coons have really distinctive heavy snouts, they're dramatically huge, like the size of a bobcat, and they've got this dense 3 layer coat that forms a lion-like mane.

If it's just some little dude that wandered up out of the world in the top 50th percentile of fluffiness, what you've got there is a domestic longhair. Probably introduce him to brushing while he's young because mats aren't fun, otherwise same operator's manual as a shorthair. Obligate carnivore diet, scatching post and sandbox, gentle scritches behind the ears, lots of naps, sunny windowsill for basking.

Could be a mixed-breed? I'm no expert, but things like that do happen.

Either way, what an interesting and special little genetic anomaly you've found. I had a cat whose belly -- and only her belly -- was covered in fine curls. Straight everywhere else. Never seen anything like it before or since.

Little dude has got a skullet 😭

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 8 points 22 hours ago

Literally devin townsend in a different font

Idk they're like people, races/breeds are just made up nonsense. It's all one species felis catus, they can all breed together, and your cat is a unique and beautiful cat!

[–] 0ndead@infosec.pub 8 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I’d say no, due to the lack of a mane

[–] zwerg@feddit.org 2 points 22 hours ago

Also no where near big enough

[–] quitthebiz@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Does your cat look like Ron Perelman? If so, yes. If not, no.

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

Yep, that's Ron right above your comment. :D

[–] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 19 hours ago

I don't know, but it sure is adorable.

[–] regdog@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

He is Mainly Coon

[–] YaksDC@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

Your pretty cat is obviously turning into Reed Richards. Congratulations!
