Weaverpat is on top of her game when it came to identifying why's the cat's eyes looked so special. Good show, weaverpat!<br /><br />Our autumn will still be hot...but nots AS hot....Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01172029625828982319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-84700414384015616352013-09-01T14:45:15.815-04:002013-09-01T14:45:15.815-04:00They are a beautiful cat!They are a beautiful cat!William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305853571849549221.post-21394589274145629732013-09-01T12:58:44.726-04:002013-09-01T12:58:44.726-04:00I knew there was something odd about their eyes. ...I knew there was something odd about their eyes. Thanks to "weaverpat" above now I know what. Also their low set ears. But I know they have incredibly thick, dense fur. They are like snow Leopards in that regard as their natural habitat is very similar. Rugged, snowy mountains. Still odd looking cat faces. However the grooming is pure kitty-cat! Beautiful animals. I've check out from the library a book on the smaller wildcat breeds - very interesting. Some are so house-cat like but not really able to tame even semi-domestically. BTW, There is a great stir-up here in the states as they've found a feral Savannah cat that the city it's in can't seem to capture. That is really a rather large cat to be feral in neighborhoods. I believe they are taller than Bobcats but not as illusive. They are so expensive I wonder no one has claimed it as escaped yet. Maybe they're afraid of a penalty!

Since your video, I looked it up and now know that it indeed a wild breed. But from what I read, it isn't as large as it looks... supposedly only averaging between 5 and 9 lbs. It must be all that thick hair!

Did you notice their eyes? They are one of the very few cats whose pupils expand and contract like ours do and not with the vertical opening of most cats.<br />Thanks for bringing these wonderful cats to our attention! weaverpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533327863909312395noreply@blogger.com
