They look so funny
gorgeous kitty. I've had a lot of part siamese that are gigantic cats. I think maybe it's something in the lynx point or something.

Wow thats a beautiful happy cat.
Cool! I assume he's also a runt?
Rocket likes to pretend she is long,
For scale, this space she is in is 35 inches wide,
And here is Link not stretched in the same space,

I mean. . . he was when he was a kitten (that's him in my profile pic). But now. . . .he is definitely not a runt. Observe:

He weighs in at 5.5kg (~12lb) so is bigger than your average male Siamese. I must say I've never seen anything that says tabby points are bigger than traditional Siamese but I suppose it could be possible!
It could also be the non-Siamese bit that gave your cats their size as the breeder seems surprised how big my boy got too!
My two tabby point girl Siamese are the small end of normal so it all evens out I guess
I had a tuxedo cat whose mamma was standard siamese. he was 17lbs. I have a lynx point now that averages about 16 pounds. I've seen other mixed standard siamese and lynx points that were in that range. I don't think i've ever seen one that was much smaller than a 13 lb cat... I remember taking Figgy (my tuxedo cat) on an airflight once. they stopped me and asked me if he was a "special cat" that needed special papers lolHe weighs in at 5.5kg (~12lb) so is bigger than your average male Siamese.

- You know that I just adore Rocket, but she looks like a coiled spring here - ready to fly off at any moment, leaving absolute havoc in her wake. There's something about Snowshoes and their attitude.Moo Shu - the Coiled Spring Of Destruction - imitating Rocket:

What breed of cat is Manny like? Looks a bit like my boys.
According to his DNA test his closest match is a Ragdoll. His second closest match is a Maine Coon and, his 6th closest match is a Siberian. NFC wasn't on the list at all. He definitely has some big breed genes goin on there I think.
If I remember right, I've read that some of the members here believe your boys may be closer to NFC. I agree though, with the exception of color, Manny and your boys do favor a lot!
I've always admired your cats coloring. I'm just partial to cats with smoke, silver, grey/blue coloring or any combo of those colors. I like white cats too so I've gravitated to high and low whites with silver, smoke or, gray. I think Manny would be considered low white with gray though, he does seem to have some smoke and silver mixed in.

had a conversation about DNA testing you may be interested in reading. You can find it here Share Your Maine Coon Photos...

Thanks, I did read thru those posts. Im not going to worry about the dna testing. My guys arent purebreeds and what ever mixture they are, I love em.According to his DNA test his closest match is a Ragdoll.

I don't blame you. I did the DNA test mainly out of curiosity and the fact that I got a discount and life time free updates being a early subscriber. I pretty much got the results I expected. That he does have a big breed in him. It could have come back hamburger steak...lol...and it wouldn't have changed how much I care about him. I would have of course, questioned that result!...lol
I've got kits for my other cats. I need to get the purebreds in. I'm realllly curious what they turn it to be per basepaws
You really should do that. I'd love to see what comes back but, if they all come back Tonkinese you'll be able to hear me giggle all the way from NC!I've got kits for my other cats. I need to get the purebreds in. I'm realllly curious what they turn it to be per basepaws
