This is Reggie, one of the strays I feed. He has a really stocky muscular body and a skinny tail. What do you think?

Do you have a picture of his side? I'd like to give you a pattern evaluation. He looks like a blue tabby (I can't be sure of which type without a pic of his side) Domestic Shorthair. He is a decent lookalike to an American Shorthair, with his muscular body and wide chest, but absent a DNA test it's impossible to know for sure if he does have some ASH influence. Reggie is certainly a striking cat, regardless!

There's a little more of his side showing on there:

It looks like he has ghost mackeral tabby markings, so he would be a blue (with ghost mackeral tabby markings) Domestic Shorthair. :)

Thanks, he looked so different to me than other cats, because he is so much more muscular, so I always wondered about him. But now that I have fattened him up a little, you can't see his muscles as much. There is something special about him, even if he is just a plain old domestic shorthair. He always looks me in the eyes.

He may perhaps have a korat among forefathers. They are more stocky and muscular build than for example russian blue, whom are muscular but slender.
