As far as the eye shape I give you the many faces of Thor.

He's not very bright, at all, but he is handsome.

I think it is the same cat, looks like a Siamese/Rag doll, great looking kitty. Still worth the time checking for microchip.

I also think the markings between the ears, just outside of the eyes (like eye-liner that goes out and down) and down from the inside corners of the eyes and then curves around under the eyes is also a pretty good match.

I called a couple of vets, but due to coronavirus restrictions, they won't letr me bbring him in to g´t scanned.

I can buy a scanner for $90 or so on Amazon; with the number of strays that come through here, it might be worth it

My vet lets me borrow one.

Willing to bet one of your local crazy cat lady rescue groups has one.

The group I volunteer for has acquired a couple recently.

Your car is a dead ringer for Miss Nell:

Definitely part ragdoll. Doesn't look like the same cat to me...

Why does it not have a notched ear? If it was chipped, it should have a notch as well.

Notched ears are for ferals that have been trapped, neutered, then released so you know they have been fixed already.

Pets don't get notched.

The cats look like identical twins and my bet is that they are related.

That said, your cat appears to have a lazy left eye. I have a cat that has the same thing and always has one eye a little bit squinted. For that reason, I think they are different cats; both with identical and unique markings.

I have two cats that are 3 years apart - a boy and a girl. They are virtually identical except Ziggy Long Tail has a long tail & Baby Little Tale has a little tail. That is the only way to tell them apart.

Did the folks claiming it's their cat see pictures of the one you have? Hard to believe it's not the same cat.

Obvious that you've become attached. Who wouldn't be? He's a beauty....but what's right is right. Do the chip thing...asap.

That is YOUR cat.

He's really promoting himself.

In regard to not being very bright; with looks like that he doesn't need to be smart.

If he's not chipped, I know he WILL BE, right? That is one happy cat. He wants to stay.

Well as you already know, Cats choose their staff.

Did not want to say it but from the start I got the feeling you really don't want it leaving.

If there is mutual consent, then it is what it is.

What'ya gonna name him? As if you haven't already.

I've got two indoor and one outdoor cat, and they all have notched ears and chips. They all were born on the mean streets, but even a pet (especially one who might be 3 miles away) needs that same type of immediate visual protection, in my mind.


As for this cat, definitely a ragdoll. We couldn't figure out why our one rescue kept flopping over (like, violently) everytime he wanted pets. Turns out he's a pretty much full blooded ragdoll, and that's what they do. They are 100% into belly rubs, when most cats are 100% into killing you for even thinking about belly rubs.

They also tend to have fur which is about 14 inches deep...
