5 months ginger kitten - very big ears?!

[kaytea]

Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone has any idea what breed or type my kittens father could have been.
His mother was a domestic long hair and she was quite a small cat. Obi just turned 5 months and he weighs around 7 pounds.
To me he looks like he has huge ears! He is also very sweet and makes lots of different sounds which we call chirping and burping! If i call his name he comes running over with a Brrrrrrp?
He also loves water which i find odd. He likes to lay in sinks and play in the wet shower after i have been in it!
I hope you like his photos
Thanks for reading!

Impossible to say what his father could have been. I found out recently that almost all gingers are male & that most gingers are striped since the chromosome for ginger & striped is the same one.

As to the noise he makes, it is called "chirping". It's a lovely sound & shows how happy your cat is.

Wow, Obi is a stunner.  I love love love his coat.  Beautiful.

My guy Simon in my avatar had big ears, huge feet and tail, then eventually grew into them.

My experience has been, if the ears and feet are big, the cat will have a long body.  Simon loved water and was fascinated with it.  He looks like he'll be a jumper.

Could he have a bit of bengal?  Just guessing. LOL

Oh ok that's interesting because 2 of my friends have ginger cats and they are both female! One is ginger/white and one is pure ginger maine coon mix

I can't offer an opinion as to breed but I can state a fact about Obi and that is: he is just darling [emoji]10084[/emoji]️[emoji]10084[/emoji]️
From his photos he looks like a very happy, mischevious little man....just so adorable!!! Thank you for sharing him with us!

My Silver Tabby female Kitten chirps a lot during play with my other cat and on the cat tree. I thought it was the sound of being frustrated when the Play or Prey doesn't go her way.

I love when cats chirp. I don't think any of our current ones do. When they get excited & loving with their person they like to chirp.
