What Kind Of Cat Is This Tennessee Rex

[ginnyvaet66]

I live not to far from Dixson, TN and I came across this stray cat that has almost a wavy fur in front he also has a big puffy tail, he looks semi long furred, but one picture he seemed to glow, and I thought I wonder if he has that sheen can anyone tell is this just a long hair or a tennessee rex, the last picture when I took it it actually glows there is flourescent on both pictures where he is in the light so refracted light like the sheen gene what do you think

I'm not seeing anything that looks like a rex cat here, although it is hard to see in the pictures. If a cat has long or semi-long hair, it's easy for some hairs to clump up on the chest and become wavy or curly if they are not combed. A rex cat, on the other hand, would have curled or wavy hair all over the body.

Do you have any pictures that are closer up?

See how his eyebrows curl but his fur looks wazy he is a Tennessee stray cat

 

[ginnyvaet66]

his fur seems to glow he will not let me get close, he is a long furred cat

I'm afraid I'm still not seeing rex coat in these pictures. He looks to me like a long lean cat with a semi-longhaired coat that could use some combing.

I don't see any wavy rex coat at all. I see longish fur. I see a dirty cat who looks like it needs a bath and his fur looks a bit clumped and unkempt. But no rex whatsoever. This attached picture is basically what a rex coat would resemble.

he is a stray cat, hanging around my house

Well I caught him and looks at under side the fur is clearly curly I have had lots of long haired cats, maybe not as curly

I think it does look like he’s rexed. My guess would be that he has some Devon Rex in him, although the rex mutation can be spontaneous as well. He’s a very cute cat!

It is hard to judge from their underside because that fur often is a bit different then the rest as it is a warmer area. Especially fluffy cats hair tend to curl between their back legs and belly and appear crimped almost. Could do a DNA test to find out.

These are Tennessee Rex, it is a mutation and a registered breed. I don't see Satinrex here.
