I'm pretty good with figuring out what my cats are. It helps to know what DNA they have in their blood so I can keep an eye out for health issues. I can tell you Main Coon, Persian, Ragdoll, etc. My new cat, Rue, however, confuses me.
I was told Rue's mother was very Siamese. She has blue eyes, they're VERY crossed. But she has the markings of another breed. She doesn't look like a Siamese. She's also VERY stocky. Very, very stocky. Short paws, short tail. She's NOT flexible. In order to scratch her ear she has to sit on her rump, bend over, and hope she hits it with her paw. She can't bring her back legs up to her mouth to kick her toys. Heck, she can't really even hold her toys to her mouth. Her paws don't really bend like a normal cats, I don't think. They don't seem as jointed as a normal cat.
I'm wondering if maybe she's been inbreed too much, or is part dwarf or something? I'd like to know in case she's going to have health issues down the road I need to be aware of. She's only four, but you never know.
She HATES posing for pictures - she's too snuggly/licky - so I took a video of her playing with her toy. You can see she's just not bendy. And likes to rub her toy on her head for some reason.
Ideas on her background? She's a sweet, gentle little love bug with a horrible temper. She's also pretty clueless. Not very trainable, really. Unless it's her toys.
