Highlander Cat

My big, voluptuous figure is a testament to my wild roots. You can see this genetic inheritance from my wild hybrid ancestors in my well-developed torso down to my rippling hind legs. Despite my rather thick coat, my muscular physique is unmistakable.

Even my bones are naturally thick and brawny. My muscles ripple with the slightest movement. Yes, every inch of me looks like a wildcat. And no, most cats don't want to mess with me.

I'm a well-behaved, cultured and refined sort of feline. As such, first time cat owners don't find me too demanding to take care of and parents with young kids and other pets appreciate my amiability and graciousness. I am even suitable for individuals living alone and seniors looking for a companion cat.

I get along with pretty much everyone.

That being said, there are some must-haves I should clarify. First, I need a lot of climbing spots. If your entire house is bedecked in very low, very minimal modern furniture don't expect me to live in it.

Second, I don't like being picked up. And finally, I am extremely sensitive and can be tad grumpy when scolded. The last one's a negative quirk that I have, but I think you should know about it.

But don't be intimidated by my beefy body I have a face that could melt your heart. Sure, some of my facial features are straight from my wild forebears, like my squarish head and my boxy muzzle that's framed by a sloping forehead and a chiseled chin.

But my large oval eyes soften any guise of ferocity and even make me look quite happy and friendly.

To further sweeten my wildcat looks, my ears have a peculiar shape that make them the highlight of my facial features.

Unlike the ears of other breeds that have rounded or pointy tips, the tops of my ears have a soft curl to them, making me appear as if I have a jester's cap on.

Although they may look a bit different, they still function properly like any other cat's.

My coat can be either short or long, but both still have the same resilience and silkiness that is typical of my breed. As for my tail, it must be short, articulated and thick. It is not uncommon to see curls and kinks in it as well.
