Hi,
So, my best friend ever is now in cat heaven, sadly. I had to let him go - it really was for the best. But now, looking back, the various vets that saw him last in the past weeks gave me somewhat differing clues as to what kinds of cats were incorporated into my friend. And I feel this is important because, should I ever decide to take a cat again, I - but surely he/she - should know what he's possibly in for, health care-wise. All of us cat lovers know that some types of cats have more genetically induced diseases than others...
So, without trying to 'contaminate' your possible first thoughts, I won't name any breed or type suspicions or what the vets told me, but just give you the pics & traits data. And no, as far as I know he wasn't a breed, but I can't be sure: the previous owner got him from a lost & found shelter, so no papers (and no chip).
First some pics, as they tell most of the tale, I should think.
Character traits:
- Affectionate
- Social
- Smart
- Not very active (ie, not very playful)
- Liked peace & quiet
- Slept a lot
- Never aggressive to humans
- Liked to be with or humans; preferred them over contact with other cats
- Cuddly
Possible extra info that could be useful:
- Easily shed hair
- Two layers to his coat (soft, short first layer, second shell made of longer, sturdier hair)
I'd like to know your thoughts in what my friend have been, or consisted of. I hope you can help!
Chrs,
