are we sure this is a cat and not a young lynx?
It’s a Highlander cat. Natural bobbed tail, curled ears, and polydactyl claws.
Those are very rare. In fact, I’m pretty sure there can be only one.
What? It’s been a crossbreed since like 2004? Unless I’m getting whooshed?
“there can be only one” is a common saying from the Highlander series of movies and TV shows, which refers to an in-universe event where “immortals” (they can be killed by decapitation) feel compelled to “the gathering” and slay each other until the last one receives “the gift”.
The series is named “Highlander” because the protagonist in the first movie, Connor MacLeod, is an immortal from the highlands of Scotland and often called “the highlander” by immortals, since he may be living under a different name (because even in fiction paperwork is a bitch).
Outside of the series, “highlander” variants of various games exist which impose a limit of a single instance of a card/token/spell/action where the standard rules have a higher limit or no limit.
Just go to Zeist. There’s plenty there.
At least it’s not a young mountain lion…
Just imagine the amount of biscuits Stomp could make. Absolute perfection
I’m proud of y’all for not replying “absolute purrfection”
absolute perrfection
listen here u lil shit
AI stomp
I’ve seen weirdly long feet, but this looks like he’s wearing giant fuzzy paw slippers. Bonkers. Good on you for adopting him, and choosing the best name lol
I hope he doesn’t grow into those feet.
I bet that adorable dude can move.
Sounds like they need to adopt a different GF
Right?! I’d go it alone with Stomp by my side.
What an Oblivion mountain lion actually looked like
I am imagining the cat making exaggerated cartoon footstep sounds as it walks
Coconut halves
I love him
why did you name him stomp
Definitely looks more like a Pippin to me…
He’s obviously a Proudfoot.
Proudfeet
You don’t tiptoe with feets like them.
Hot damn! Those paws are comically big. It’s like if a cartoon cat with big feet came to life but kept the disproportionate paws. Awesome!
Ground pounders up and around.
If this is actually your cat, you might get him checked for acromegaly.
Not my kitty, but good to know!
Fun fact: Ernest Hemingway used to collect polydactyl cats and now, because of him, there is a abnormally sizable population of polydactyl cats on Key West, FL.
Ive been to the Hemingway house 20 or so times now (every year I visit) and it’s great. Now i just go to sit there and pet cats. I don’t even care about Hemingway.
If you are not having a very large stiff drink while you are petting them, you may be doing it wrong!
That’s rad! I want to go there some day exclusively for the cats
Not terribly rad… He was an epic alcoholic
Nonono, I meant to comment on the comment above you. My bad.
I can honestly take or leave Hemingway. I was never particularly a fan of his writing style.
Looks like polydactyly to me, which is not uncommon in cats.
We can’t see your cat’s tail from this one picture. Is it short? Those feet and short tail may make Stomp a Pixie-Bob breed .
Its a highland lynx, which are generally bred to have manx tail.
Fun fact: because of the manx tail, it has a high chance of being incontinent.
Since they’re from the Isle of Man, wouldn’t they be out continent?
Yay
Does that mean hes worth alot of dough?
