What kind of kitten is this little fellow ?

[Harbison5]

Hi everyone ! Meet our sweet little fellow. His name is Boogers. He is a rescue ( approx 5 months ). My co worker found him in her car engine. He is a beautiful kitten with very distinct markings. We have been to the vet several times and he is up to date on his shots. A friend came over yesterday and she remarked on how much he looks like a bobcat. The vet never mentioned anything about Boogers being a bobcat. Now I am really beginning to wonder. Can anyone give me suggestions on things to look for ? We have a vet appointment later in the week for him to be neutered. Boogs acts like a normal kitten.

Wow, what fantastic markings, and how fortunate that he was found!

His coloring and coat marking is tabby;

Thank you so much ! We just love him so !

I think the photo of him and his dog buddy just draped out over the rug is too marvelous

Your friend meant surely his stumpy tail. How is he in body and health? High rear end? The stump may be some damage when infant.

We went ahead and took Boogs in today to be neutered. The vet confirmed that Boogs is a beautiful tabby cat ! Yay !

I know you said his name in your first post, but how about this - Boogs bear in the movie Open Season?

Lol !!! My 19 year old daughter named him Boogers because when he was rescued he was 3 weeks old and his eyes were full of " boogers". His middle name is Napoleon like Napoleon Dynamite. My family is goofy. Our tuxedo cat is named Wonton His sister is named Wasabi and the dog ( Boogs buddy ) is Foster Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Too fun, I'm so glad he has you! Keep feeding him multiple canned meals throughout the day with some kibble for snacking 'til he's at least a year, he looks fantastic

Boogers is absolutely beautiful. What a lovely kitten!
I can't suggest anything about bobcats, but his tabby pattern is called "classic tabby" and he's a longhair.
So for now I'd call him a domestic longhair classic tabby

Just a longhair tabby with a short tail. Enjoy him!

Thank you ! We do ! He is rotten

He is rotten

I'm going to guess that he makes up for the rottenness by being extremely beautiful!

He is apparently a mackerel tabby. But the stripes are formed almost as the classic bulls eye.
My guess is he has both these genes. Mackerel and bulls eye.
Mackerel dominates over the classic bulls eye tabby gene, so he is a mackerel tabby; but with traces of the classic tabby too...

Oh gosh, I see it now! I hadn't noticed that he was missing the marbling on his shoulders and flank/rear (I tought there was something unique about him) You're right I think, it looks like a mix of the two genes , both mackerel and classic.
How beautiful!
