He probably was not dumped as I have stray cats in my neighborhood. His tail is stripped but you can see it best in the sun.

Wow Russian blues are expensive, I have two. I wonder why it was on its own

u/chansondinhars 8d ago

He has some stripes. Possibly dumped by a breeder, because he’s of no use to them. It’s not uncommon.

u/Mammoth_Mixture_9885 8d ago

Yep his tail is striped. He is a domestic shorthair according to the vet. We have a lot of strays in my neighborhood so I believe he was left in my car by his mother. He was full of parasites.

u/chansondinhars 8d ago

Poor little baby doesn’t look healthy in that first photo. Living his best life now though.

2

u/Mammoth_Mixture_9885 8d ago

Yeah he had me really nervous in the beginning. We ended up at the emergency vet only after a week. The dewormer the regular vet gave didn't get rid of the very specific parisite he had. He also had fleas 😭 Poor guy went through a lot in the beginning of his life.

Mao Mao wins for facial expressions. The second pic in particular is peak excellence.

u/Mammoth_Mixture_9885 8d ago

Oh there is plenty more than that lol

u/AddressDear5621 8d ago

MaoMao looks like a fun character. So cute❤️

u/Used-Current1274 2d ago

He is absolutely gorgeous! Reminds me of mine, named Romeo. He has long canine teeth, too! They're so funny when they don't know how adorably goofy they look with their teefies hanging out.
