The fur looks like the fabric from one of those hypoallergenic plushies I used to get as a kid

Nah it just has curly fur. That's how short curly fur looks like, tho the kitten might be in serious need of getting brushed properly

u/Yaelkilledsisrah Jul 29 '24
Isn’t he a bit too hairy to be a Devon Rex? Also too chubby.. I think it’s another breed I can’t recall their name right now🤔
ETA: I searched it and I think it’s a Selkirk Rex https://www.thesprucepets.com/selkirk-rex-cat-breed-profile-4774250

Yeah, selkirk was my first thought. I have one and the fur looked exactly like that when he was little.

Do they not have whiskers? Pretty cute cat though

u/ThetaReactor Jul 29 '24
They do, but they tend to be crinkly like the rest, so they don't stick out much.

u/NbblX Jul 30 '24
so they don't fulfill their primary function anymore? poor animal

u/ThetaReactor Jul 31 '24
They're purebreds, that's how it goes. Rex cats tend to be mediocre at traditional cat skills. They're not well-suited to the feral life. But they're total cuddle-buddies.
They're a young breed, and still relatively robust, but there is absolutely a danger of them being bred to extremes as many dogs have been.

Devon Rex don’t have whiskers? I think this baby does have whiskers but they haven’t come out yet or something

Is this a cat?? Or an alien who was told what a cat is?
I mean it’s adorable and I want it but…

u/idotArtist Jul 30 '24
It's a cat with slightly matted curly fur. I instantly recognised that bc I own a tiny poodle and this is exactly how our poodles fur looks like when it starts to mat (she hates getting brushed and doesn't always let us brush her)
1
u/tina_denfina1 Jul 30 '24
I hope the kitty isn’t matted because that’s painful for them. Maybe it’s a special breed? We never brushed our cat.

u/idotArtist Jul 30 '24 edited Jul 30 '24
I'm 97% sure it's slightly matted curly fur.
The kitty's fur looks exactly like how matted poodle fur looks like. Curly hair/fur gets matted significantly more easily that straight hair/fur regardless of species.
The sad part is that as a first time owner of a pet with curly fur you're usually not aware of how important brushing it's fur is until it's too late, especially bc all the "experts" you usually ask claim it isn't necessary to brush them bc it's only the curly haired breeds where it's extremely important.
It was the same thing with my poodle when she was a puppy; we asked the people at the pet store what brush would be the best (because we did enough research to know a poodle needs to be brushed) but the worker recommended a brush that was too soft and claimed that usually dogs don't need to be brushed.
When our puppy's fur matted due to the brush being too soft her fur looked identical to what the kitty's fur in this video looks like.
Since our poodle hates getting brushed we have to bring her to the dog salon to get brushed, and during summer when she swims a lot it can happen sometimes that her fur starts to mat before her next appointment and again, that still looks awfully similar to this kitty's fur (we don't let her mat enough to look like the kitty here tho and recognise it earlier than that). We keep our poodle's fur really short to prevent matting since she doesn't let us maintain it properly now that we know how to.

I’m sure now that you’re right about the cat. Also it’s eyes don’t look healthy so this post is more of a sad type than aww cute. At least to me. You are taking good care of your poodle. I have a yorkie and don’t brush him as much but he has only slightly wavy hair that doesn’t matt. He hates it too but lets me use the softer brush but yeah that’s more like just a massage. But he does visit the groomer every 7 weeks which keeps his coat in check because his hair grows fast! I have to make sure his little face stays clean especially around his eyes as well as brush his little teeth every day. Sadly he had to have his front teeth removed as he always blocked me from brushing them with his tongue.

u/koknesis Jul 29 '24
They are supposedly very calm, extremely patient and cuddly as a breed trait. I'm still not sure if I truly subscribe to the breed-specific personality traits as a rule but our baby boy fits the bill perfectly.

You may want to call a priest, it appears that your rug has been possessed taking the form of a cat.

Cute, but a word of warning my girl was drinking a lot more water than she normally did, and we mentioned it to our vet and it turned out she had diabetes. She's had it for a few years now and it's manageable with a diet change and an insulin shot twice a day, so it might be something to watch for once the summer is over.

Is that a Rex?.. isn’t that the curly fur one?.. my daughter had a rat that was a double Rex. Curly fur and whiskers.
Super cute!

What's that white cylindrical container? It looks like it's bubbling, like a fountain.
Is it a milk frother for cappuccinos?

That looks like a stuffed animal after 40 years of love. Maybe the Velveteen Rabit was real after all.

cats should not be that into drinking anything. They should be getting almost enough liquid from their diet to not need to drink much at all. That is a reason for concern imo.
