I have posted on here before about Link. I know he is a Snowshoe Siamese. When I got him I was told his Mom was Siamese but his Dad was unknown. His sister had no white markings. I'm passingly familiar with Siamese since getting him. He is very typical in a lot of ways to behaviors and traits you would expect from a Siamese.
Some things though don't seem to mesh with Siamese so I am curious if there are any guesses to what else might be in him. And if I am over analyzing please let me know. But the forum has some really knowledgable members right now so I wanted to get some opinions. @1CatOverTheLine I know we have talked in the past about his rapid darkening possibly showing Burmese in there. Could that explain some other aspect?
He has a very boxy side profile. He has that priomoridal pouch which visibly swings when he runs but otherwise is incredibly lean and muscled. He is still growing taller at 3 years old. Which is a big suprise to me but when he stood next to my Moms cat (who is a fairly average sized DSH) he was noticably taller then a few months ago. Either Fury shrunk or Link grew, since Fury is 4 my guess is Link grew a little more. He is 13 pounds of very tall cat (he has to duck to go under chairs that my Moms cat has no problem with and he can stand on his hind legs to reach things on the edge of the kitchen counter).
Part of it is optical illusion because he has the black chin spot but he has a very square side profile... I think. That probably is the one thing that throws me the most, his side profile, from just saying he is just a Snowshoe.
