Precious little goober!
Very cute. I cant foster anymore cause I want to keep them all.
Wow - for a moment I thought you had stolen my cat - nearly the same markings. Is his/her fur shiny?
The reason I ask is because mine is half snow bengal, and she inherited the "glow" bengal fur gets in certain sunlight, and it looks like the one of the parents of yours might be a bengal as well.
If so, you've got a rare cat on your hands - cashmere bengals (long hair) are very uncommon due to recessive gene traits, and highly sought after as their fur is hypoallergenic. If they come from the Amur leopard cat line (snow bengal), they're even rarer - a kitten with papers can fetch $7k.
Mine came to me as part of the cat distribution system (in fact, her mom, who is feral and I can't catch, is likely going to have another litter under my house), so no papers, but she's the best cat I've ever owned. Very smart, very polite, and despite the fact I'm allergic to other cats, I can rub my face in her fur with no problems. Very needy though if she doesn't get attention - most social cat I've ever owned.
Photos, we need photos!
She's a bit zonked out today (after keeping me up all night), but here's Lady Halo Shadowfoot:
I think dad is a Maine Coon, but I'm not 100% certain - there's a huge orange-white one that's literally the size of a pitbull that came by to visit a while back. Must have weighed nearly 25lbs - looked like a damn Totoro creature. No fear - he literally stared me down on my own porch and refused to move until he had checked in on Miss Halo through the window.
I could never foster because I'd want to keep them. !lemmysilver
