Adopted one week ago. He spent the first couple days hiding under the bed and in various closets but is starting to come out of his shell.

He gives off sand cat vibes

Pretty boy. Looks like his has some fancy cat breed in his genes.

The shelter called him a "brown tabby" but he does look like there's something in there.

He definitely has tabby markings, including the forehead M. Interesting colouring though. Handsome fella nonetheless!

Hi Oscar! You're cute!

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I would die for you, Oscar.

Pretty soon he'll be all relaxed and ready to go to town on those nice curtains. Hopefully just by rubbing fur all over them.

We love you, Oscar.

Once he's convinced you aren't going to eat him, he'll warm up and get friendly.

We had five cats, and entire family, and one always thought that one day I'd get hungry enough to eat her, until she passed at 17.
