I'd love to see cats with lynx like ear tufts did you find your cats tufts got smaller as they became adults. .. I might be biased but I feel like Tigers ear tufts are the longest I've ever seen! :-) I hope they stay that way!

Ahhh, the super cute Tiger again. He's so photogenic and those tufts should develop nicely. Although Oliver's pedigree is quite impressive, his lynx tips are rather poor. You have to use some imagination to see any.

He's so handsome, those eyes <3
I can see his tufts, though they're blending in with the background! What's his colouring, it's really nice?

Hey Fabear, thank you!
I sure do! One of his sisters from the same litter, Lume, is also tufted, but not so much as him. This litter of 3 is really special.
Does he have some maine coon in him maybe especially his side profile and lynx tips? Sort of similar to my lil guy when I first got him at 9 weeks (below) :-)

It's unlikely, Fabear, but this thought crossed my mind too. The tufts, the square nose and the extremely silky texture of the fur itself. The thing is Coons are not a common breed where I live and I know the parents are DSH/DMH. But since breeders never sell spayed or neutered pets here is a bit of a stretch but still possible. And they look veeery alike. O'Malley's behavior is unlike any cat I've ever known. He wants to be helded at all times. Is Tiger like that?

Yes Tiger is very affectionate - doesn't like being held quite as much as he did when he was young, but still comes over to me to be picked up now! I think probably if you know the parents, then you can safely assume he is not a coon!
I think Ginger cats are known to be friendly!
