Can ears tell you anything about breed? My baby is only 4 months and already 6.5 pounds, with a long slender body and these big gorgeous ears. He also doesn't seem to mind water and loves sitting in a wet sink. Any guesses at what he might be mixed with?

A long, slender body and big ears could point to some Oriental influence, but probably not super recent in your beautiful boy's case, because although he has the big ears, his muzzle isn't that wedge shape. So, he'd be called a brown classic tabby and white Domestic Shorthair.

Stunning beauty! Being already so big, he has probably some big breed inside. Although none of the big breeds does has big ears. So even if he probably will grow into these ears, they are too big for any big bread - all these must manage winter cold.

My guess one ancestor is a Norwegian Forest cat, giving the size and the somewhat triangularish face, the Norse are also often bicolored.

The big ears, short fur, and possibly also that splendid classic tabby come from the other parent... Which, we cant know.
