According to the person who sold him, his dad was part Maine-Coon (a big, heavy cat, apparently). But, apart from quite fluffy long fur on his belly, he can't have that breed in his genes.
Some people think he looks like a Bengal, but to be honest, I don't know. But his personality stands out, and he does appear to have thought-provoking features. He is more than 6kg, and has a prominent primordial pouch. He can be quite hard to impress, to engage in play. It seems that he'll stop, look at my hand holding the toy, and then conclude it's not real so he won't play. But he cornered a bird the other day outside, and he will engage in watching videos of real prey on my tv. And when my father is sitting in his chair, Ollie will walk up to him and shake his tail for some attention, which he only does with him.
He still has a high-sounding voice. He would rather climb up drawer handles to get on the kitchen worktop, even though he is more than capable of jumping to high places.
He has a big attitude, and often walks with his tail curled up at the end, like his tail is suspended off the ground by about 10 inches. As the photos show, he has stripes and spots. He has a spotted belly, and spots either side of his spine, which has a thick black stripe down there. It seems like his eyes are similar to the gooseberry shade of green, too
Any opinions, informed or not, are very welcome Needless to say that whatever his breed, I love him very much
