New Kitten--would Love To Know His Breed?

Hi everyone,
We recently adopted Claudio from a local rescue, who rescued him when he was in some pretty bad shape on the streets a few months ago. He's almost 6 months and just a bundle of cuddles and love. They told us he's a brown tabby. I'm just head over heals with his pattern and his fur is so incredibly soft.

From the minute he entered our home, he picked up a mouse toy (we have an older cat) and proceeded to engage us in a game of fetch, which is his absolute favorite activity--he's full of energy. Claudio is a purr machine with a very loud purr at that, and a chirpy meow. He is always sniffing everything, and if the purr is loud, his sniffing is even louder like maybe he's a big puppy--hehehe.

He definitely loves his new human family and takes turns following each one of us around--so close you a destined to trip over him. Claudio definitely loves attention. I would like to know what his potential breed might be in case there's some more I can be doing to help him develop and thrive.

Thanks,
Jan

WOW!! He's simply GORGEOUS !

I am thrilled to bits that you-all and he found each other, how wonderful to read of a success beyond all measure

I'm not sure that there is much more you could do, from your descriptions of such a happy, joyful and loving household, beyond ensuring he's eating as much as he can eat for the next months until he's at least a year old, possibly longer while he's in his major growth mode, and lots of fresh clean water (is your older kitty ok? If there are any issues there, you could start a thread and we can help).

If he's (--by his own nature no matter what his genetic makeup is) more of a climbing cat, you could put up shelves and have a couple of cat trees. If he likes lower areas/the floor better, try cardboard boxes of different sizes for him to tuck himself into and play with. Music for cats, streaming videos for cats, bird watching - some people hang bird feeders so their cats can enjoy the activity.

Claudio is adorable! And I love his fur pattern! I would describe him as a brown classic tabby Domestic Shorthair. “Marbled” or “bullseye” are other names for his pattern, so you can use whichever one you like best.

Wow, such handsome one!

His pattern is quite unusual. Almost if there was several different patterns in there. But the dominating one is the classic or marbled tabby, as stated earlier.

Beautiful boy - both in appearance and in behaviour.
