Can someone identify my cat?

[mforbes08]

My father had the brother of my cat and the vet identified him but the vet is retired and of course my father lost the paperwork. I know he said it was an unusual breed and could not believe we got them out of the trunk of a ladies car. His hair is a lot darker then it use to be due to me shaving him during the Texas heat.

Ring tail!!

He is obviously not the most everyday looker.  But I still think is a domestic, with the pattern of ticked tabby with white.

The ticked tabby is by itself not so common - a little peculiar because its a strong gene. They even say its dominating over the other tabby genes (whom are known to be dominant). But in practice, its almost only  some of the Aby - Abyssinians whom are ticked tabbies.

I love the ring around his tail. Too cute.

I guess the flat (Down's syndrome type) face throws me off.

He could have a persian somewhere in the background, a granddad perhaps.  Or a british shorthair.

Persians are more common, at least in the USA.
