My, he's a handsome guy!

He's a tabby point (sometimes called lynx point) domestic shorthair. He has to have some Siamese somewhere back in his heritage, as that's the only place the pointed gene came from, but it could have been 100 generations back for all we know. It's doubtful he has any Siberian---it's a fairly rare breed in the US and they aren't generally allowed to run around having random litters. There's a lot of variety in the domestic cat population, but purebreds aren't a big part of that variety.

Why do you think he's so big?

 

[Willowy]

Because some cats are big? :tongue2: Like I said, there's a wide variety in the domestic cat population.
