u/pshutts62 Jul 16 '22

Why do I have the urge to put my face in the center of a cats belly when they are laying on their backs? Do I resist the urge? No.

u/LisaWinchester Jul 16 '22

And then go like this: "Blpblp blpblpblp!"

u/Wimbleston Jul 16 '22

Giving cats raspberries is perfectly manly

10

u/panzerboye Jul 16 '22

Bro it's not about being manly, it's more about the damn scratches on the face. Those claws are razors sharp man, I would hate to get one of them on my face.

u/moeru_gumi Turkish Van Jul 16 '22

You want facehuggers? Because that's how you get facehuggers

u/firebox1771 Jul 17 '22

I did this all the time when I had my two cats. One was cool with me doing it but the other didn't care for it much.

u/dailyqt Jul 17 '22

Boutta rename him James

u/Hope2_win Jul 16 '22

A long haired domestic cat, no special breed. just fluffy and cuddly.

37

u/johnisom Jul 16 '22

Cats don’t have breeds like dogs do. Vast majority of cats are mutts.

13

u/krazyboi Jul 16 '22

Is that why we're always just calling them cute and fluffy cats? I thought it was just for fun.

15

u/FuzzyPeachDong Jul 16 '22

Both. Both is good.

2

u/blablahblah Jul 17 '22

"Purebred" dog breeds were mostly made up in the late 19th century by bored rich folks looking to play God by controlling evolution. It never took off with cats to the same extent.

There are cat breeds too but particularly with how many strays get adopted, most pet cats don't have any particular pedigree tracing back to one of those aristocratic breeding programs.

12

u/drew1010101 Norwegian Forest Cat Jul 16 '22

Cats 100% have breeds, most are domestic short hairs AKA mutt.

u/just_some_guy65 Jul 16 '22

Dog and cat breeds are a human construction

u/meikyoushisui Jul 17 '22 edited Aug 22 '24

But why male models?

-14

u/spritecranberry777 Jul 16 '22

I- wha- eh?? Cats also have breeds like dogs do, the 'mutts' as you call them are often shorthaired breeds but people often don't know the exact breed.

Also, I would like to know where you got your 'info' from

22

u/johnisom Jul 16 '22

Yeah I think it came across wrong. The thing is, most dogs belong to a breed, however most cats are mutts. However there are definitely cat breeds that exist, they’re just quite rare in comparison

2

u/spritecranberry777 Jul 16 '22

Ahh okay, now I understand more clearly. Sorry for the inconvinience

5

u/Fuzzy-Conversation21 Jul 16 '22

Mutt kitties are Moggies 🥰

2

u/spritecranberry777 Jul 16 '22

That's actually a really cute way to say that! I'll remember it!

16

u/Weavercat Jul 16 '22

What they mean is that there are cat breeds but if they dont come from a lineage that is documented they are not that breed. They may superficially resemble a maine coon, Siberian, or a NFC but without documentation it's just a cat. Cats are just cats unless they're a special cat.

-4

u/spritecranberry777 Jul 16 '22

Yeah that explanation seems fair but I don't understand why they used the term 'mutt' when it means inferior. Also I believe there are similar cases with dogs so wouldn't that mean cats and dogs are both for a part 'mutt'?

18

u/Weavercat Jul 16 '22

They used mutt because its not a purebred animal from a documented lineage. Therefore a MUTT! Or a MOGGIE/MOGGY if you want the cat-specific term.

The problem with new cat people being obsessed over breed is because unlike dogs you cannot tell what a cat is. Most dogs are so highly derived you can spot the breeds in the mix. Cats are not so derived as they were not bred to 'work' like dogs were (even toy dog breeds 'worked/came from working lines') and are still, just a cat.

Mutt doesn't mean inferior, at least not in this context. Means randombred. Mutt is only a slur if you're a sensitive human who cares about purity like a weirdo. Who cares if it's a mutt, moggie, mongrel, randombred, streetcat? It's a cat that superficially resembles one of the popular medium/longhaired breeds.

-3

u/spritecranberry777 Jul 16 '22

Ah okay. The reason I thought mutt was meant as a degrading term was probably because I only ever hear the word 'mutt' as an insult. So I probably thought they meant a similar thing

u/Alternative-File-640 Jul 16 '22

A Good Red Cat. You will have such fun!!!

u/Caramel_Cappucino Jul 16 '22

Judging by the name, probably telescope.

9

u/crankyandcreaky Jul 16 '22

The pointed ear tufts and long coat might mean there is some Maine Coon in him.

9

u/Iluminiele Jul 16 '22

Oh, that's super easy. Just look at the documents and it should be mentioned.

If the cat didn't come with any documents then it's not purebred, just a mix

u/fairynicha European Shorthair Jul 16 '22

such a cutie 🥺

u/Weavercat Jul 16 '22

A trouble maker! Very cute little medium/longhair orange tabby mixed breed.

u/SoaringPikachu Jul 16 '22

Medium hair- domestic. I have one exactly like him but mine is a girl. She’s so fluffy and loves taking naps on the windowsill :)

13

u/BuddhasGarden Jul 16 '22

He’s got some Maine coon in him, based on the ear pointers.

2

u/dragongrrrrrl Jul 16 '22

That’s what I was thinking too

3

u/deft_not_a_throwaway Jul 16 '22

If you don't know for sure, it's not of any breed.

I'm sorry but I just thought so. I have maine coons by my house and see them every day. Its definitely not a pure one but the face, snoot and ears just reminds me of it

Maine Coon. Look at those ear tufts

That's a high quality orange floofer right there.

u/Bjorneo Jul 17 '22

There may be some Maine Coon in there someplace? Ear tufts, chin and those paws say Coon to me. Anybody else? Very beautiful cat what ever it turns out to be.

u/rterrebo Jul 17 '22

He has the same tippy ear hair my eldest boy has. Maybe they're relate?

I'll call them the "tippy ear hair clan".

1

u/-DanceswithBees- Jul 17 '22

Unlike most cats here he might be partly Maine Coon. His ear tufts, snout, and long fur hint towards that. However, he's most likely just a Domestic Long Hair (DHL).
