We are stationed in Yokosuka, Japan and have adopted a wonderful feral cat that has made herself at home with our family and our 10yr old tabby (who was a stray from VA). She was born on our base from another feral cat who also looked like her. She had a brother who looked like her except he was orange and my cat also had a litter of kittens when she was a year and they all had the same markings.
I included some photos of her as a kitten, one with her brother, a photo of her son (he’s the cat in the Christmas tree) and the rest are her. She loves water and follows me everywhere around the house. She also has a crooked tail and an inverted sternum, both she was born with (probably from inbreeding). She has mostly white fur but black markings. If you brush the markings the opposite way they are tabby striped brown and black. Her tail is completely colored and the underside is slightly orange. She has Amber colored eyes and is only 6.5 lbs.
I believe there may be Van Cat Influence or Turkish Van Cat Genetics since there was an trading between Japan and Turkey for many years. Also, we have an abundance of feral cats that look just like her here. Thanks so much for all the info. She’s probably an mix of many things being a street cat going back generations but we love her just the same.
