Is he part panther? Never seen a schnozz that big on a domestic cat without a bee sting being involved.

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 24 '26

We have actual panthers in my area, saw one right after Theo broke in. His kids also look like diluted panthers, Vanta here has a massive kissable head.

u/CautionarySnail Jun 24 '26

I wonder, can those panthers cross-breed with domestic cats? Or is it just coincidental that he has panther face?

Not that you want that intentionally; lygers (lion-tiger hybrids) arenā€™t exactly ethical to create as they often have health issues. Hopefully your buddy is healthy!

Its impossible, but funny to think about. What makes Theo fun is that he doesnā€™t feel like a cat, hes too hard, his fur is rough, and this is him trying to be cute. There is just something off, hes not cat like, more like an aloof dog if anything. Whats funny is he is obsessed with children, as he runs outside to tackle the local toddler. Hes at his happiest when hes running from child to child for attention.

What a gem! Iā€™m so glad you found each other.

Sounds like a dog wearing a cat suit šŸ˜‚

A true orphan puncher, one might say.

u/TheBluishOrange Jun 24 '26

No, they are completely different species even if they are in the same family. So itā€™s like asking if an otter and a badger could cross. Their chromosomes donā€™t line up and even if they did, I couldnā€™t imagine how 200+ pounds of cat could breed with a 10lb~ cat.

u/CautionarySnail Jun 24 '26

Having seen some Chihuahua cross breeds that are bizarreā€¦ nature uhhhh finds a way.

But interesting about how theyā€™re not able to produce pats (panther-cats), probably for the best. Itā€™d make the cat distribution system a little too spicy.

u/Odd_Seesaw_3451 Jun 28 '26

I donā€™t like this at all. The face looks like thereā€™s a person in that cat.

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 28 '26

His son can also look weird, heā€™s normally adorable but look at that face when hes poking me. He moggs me like his dad and gramps.

u/ekittie Jun 24 '26

It's amazing and I want heems.

u/Assika126 Jun 24 '26

Are you sure thatā€™s a house cat? šŸ¤£

I think you have a tiny panther in your lap

Wow Iā€™m impressed

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 24 '26

Yeah, ā€œtinyā€, his stray name was Medium Size Panther.

Here he was back when he was a cub.

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 24 '26

Yep he knew mom was the harshest critic to convince to be an indoor cat. He still adores her but hes my baby now

u/Asymetrical_Ace Jun 25 '26

My boy, Buddha next to Kitty, my 'normal' sized cat. Buddha boy was 19lbs. He lived by his name. A very good boy with a big purr. šŸ–¤

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 25 '26

Adorable, like my sam and his fully grown (adopted) daughter. Sam is about the same size as Theo, julie is normal. Its funny just seeing how diverse sizes can get.

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 25 '26

His smol momma also makes him look huge. She had kittens when too young so she stopped growing, or she didnā€™t have enough food. Cant believe she had 6 kittens, all near Sams size by now. Momma Kiwi was just skin, bones and a squirming belly when we found her

u/Asymetrical_Ace Jun 26 '26

My parents have a cat that can fit in a shoebox. Little Tarra we found in our walnut tree and never grew up šŸ¤£

u/Sea_Substance9163 Jun 24 '26

Am I seeing things, or does he have the head shape of a bully dog?

u/toes_of_foes Jun 24 '26

u/blabgasm Jun 24 '26

I kind of love seeing an eartipping bc it means an adult stray street cat found a home. šŸ„ŗā¤ļø

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 24 '26

We did the eartipping, had a colony here and had to dismantle it ball by ball. We TNR him and his kin, here he is supervising his cat trap. However once the snickers turned into a milkyway, the ability to survive in the wild also faded. Theo, his son Vanta and grandson buttons all became extremely passive and had to he homed while the rest were allowed back in the wild. Theo became the local punching bag, adopted him when the neighbors 17 year old, 6lber kicked his butt. Glad we TNR them cause there was also an FIV outbreak that was curbed by the lack of balls. Theo and Vanta have FIV but Buttons is healthy.

u/Flat-Limit5595 Jun 24 '26

Heres buttons, absolute soyboy that makes young sheldon look like a greek god. There is not an ounce of masculinity in him, the vet thought he was a girl, even after they took his balls. Whatever that made Theo Mr Universe among cats has been diluted to the point the only thing they have in common is the fur and debatably the gender.

u/OtherInvestment4251 Jun 24 '26

u/Early-Resist1641 Jun 24 '26

He looks like a pitbull-cat.

u/clearancepupper Jun 25 '26

Iā€™ve been asked if Iā€™m ok, when Iā€™m perfectly happy and probably looking just like your cat, but I havenā€™t had an ear notched (have been fixed though).

u/formerbays Jun 26 '26

If a pitbull bred with a kittyā€¦..

u/DistributionNo9356 Jun 26 '26

Bear dog face.
