Hey, what breed is this cat? I personally think he is a Chantilly Tiffany. We don't know if he came with papers, as he was abandoned and literally *kicked* in the thigh multiple times. He has a fluffy brown tummy, just like marks of a Chantilly.

I swear, if you look up Chantilly Tiffany and go on Images, the cats there look just like Dee! The face shape, fur length, eye color, and everything else! The image with the funny sitting cat is Dee, and the image with a cat's head close up is Dee, and the image with a farther away headshot is a Chantilly Tiffany (Google Images).

I was on the "What Breed is this cat" Thread, but I suddenly lost it.

Frisk and I went on another little outing downtown today! Originally just went to get lunch but there was a music festival going on so we walked around a little before settling down at a cafe (outdoor seating, of course).
She got lots of attention and compliments on how chill she was hanging out of my lap. Overall, a good experience!

Whoa! How do you even get your cat to wear a harness/collar?! My cats would claw my face off if I even thought of doing that, ha. ^^ Anyway, I have three cats. One is a stray we adopted (Nightmare) and has green eyes and black fur. She never scratches or bites- she's not declawed, either (none of them are)- and she loves everyone except my younger brothers because of... Prior experiences, but she puts up with them. My second cat, Soshi, is chubby and lazy. He's brown/orange with brown stripes, a white belly and paws, and green eyes. He doesn't do anything- not even chase strings, birds, bugs, or toys... And then there's Blinky. He's just like Soshi, but with a white face and he's skinny and 'mean'. He doesn't like anybody except for me, ESPECIALLY my dad. My dad wasn't nice at all to him when he was a kitten, and now he's afraid of most people- males, specifically- and he bites and scratches. Is there a way I can help him be less afraid? ^^;

@Plum - Ah what a sweetie, I love torties! Sounds like a great outing c: I personally can't wait to get my first (not my parents') cat in 2/3 months and start training him/her on a leash!

You'll most likely have to train your cats on the harnesses before you can actually take them out and expect them to be comfortable. It may take a while, but if you're really serious, it's really about taking baby steps.

A basic guide^
Although their recommendation to put the harness on the cat off the bat may be a bit extreme for some, especially Soshi from the sounds of it. You can start by only attaching the part around the neck, like a normal collar, and allowing the rest of the harness to hang. He may not be used to the feeling of a harness clutching his stomach and freak out. In very extreme cases I've even heard recommendations of hanging the harnesses by their food bowls in order for the cat to associate the harness with positive thoughts.

Once the harness is on, slowly increase the length of time you let them wear it around the house. Then let them wander the house with a leash attached. Then you can follow them around (inside the house if that's where they are most comfortable) while holding the leash to get them used to it. Then you can follow them around outside. Finally, you should be ready to lead the cat as opposed to the cat leading you.

It takes time, they don't adjust to leashes as quickly and enthusiastically as dogs but it can be done with time and dedication.

Havnt posted in awhile so thought I would grace everyone with a little Ulquiorra.


Dont know what it is but he looks so puffy and that neck fuzz doesn't flatter him XD

Aww, he's posing like the action figure beside him!

Yea looks so proud but he is lucky his sister didn't see him those figures are hers ( even I get death glares when I touch them ).

EDIT: If you wish to help me, please first look up "Chantilly Tiffany tummy", "Chantilly Tiffany", "How to tell if my cat is a Chantily Tiffany", and "Chantilly Tiffany fur". These will show you images to help you compare with Dee !

Horse, it's most likely he's just a mix breed/'domestic long hair'. Chantilly/Tiffanys seem like a pretty rare and recent breed and most rescue/shelter cats are complete mutts. Plus, most people don't just abandon papered/purebred cats.

IMO breed isn't that big of a deal with cats unless you're buying a purebred or looking for specific traits in a cat so personally I don't fuss over what my shelter kid could be. She fits what I need and that's what matters!

Sorry if I sound rude, but I don't think you understood. He is not a shelter pet.. He is an abandoned stray, I can tell because he knows how to use a litter box. He does look exactly like a Chantilly, and I don't think someone will keep a cat, even if it's rare. Dee is mean a little, so maybe that's why he was abandoned. My mom, dad, and my friends all say he looks like a Chantilly. Is there a way I can specify what breed he is?

Dee does have the traits of a Chantilly, acts like one, and even chirps. Could that be another possibility he is a Chantilly?

P.S I'm wondering what breed he is so I can decide to bring him inside or not. He is slowly getting sick because he is drinking street water, and fighting with cats.

He looks EXACTLY like a Chantilly, but his eyes arent the exact same color ^^

It shouldn't matter his breed if he is getting ill outside just bring him, why should breed play a factor in if he is inside or not if his health is at risk.

This is my baby. She looks a lot like yours. But I've never heard of a Chantilly. She just showed up one day and never left. Here's some pics, doesn't she look like yours?? You may not be able to see it very well, but she's got a brown belly. Her eyes are a bit greener too.
