(15,790 posts)Had no tail and my son who was doing paramedic training took care of him. So probably a Manx most probably something else. My son gave him to his Supervisor when he could walk. Four months later he asked my son "what is this thing"? He was gentle enough let his youngest dress him up in doll clothes but weighed about 12 pounds. A couple months ago he met up with his supervisor and his daughter who got the cat when she was 6 she is now 15 and met up at a friends wedding. It seems this cat may be a mule according to their vet who nuetered him who doubted he would have been able to father kittens. He now weighs 27 pounds without an ounce of fat and likes to wrestle with their German Shepards. They have never heard what sounds like a meow and is as gentle as he can be with people. The other cats are scared of him. My son got a hug from the now teenager who considers this rather peculiar giant cat her best friend.
I am both a dog and cat person have convinced my wife she is a cat person. She does not get along with Mama Cat will work on that also.
