Background information: Cat is well over a year old and his eyes appeared to be way too big for his head and extremely far apart. Is this a characteristic of a certain breed he may be mixed with or is he… just built different. His name is Jax

He might just be a little inbred but he’s adorable. Some Devon Rex cats have this head shape but unless he’s from a breeder the likelihood of him having Devon in him is close to zero. I wouldn’t be worried. -DVM

Yeah he came from my grandmothers outdoor cats (which I have been trying to keep up fixing) for 10 years. Impossible battle. Inbreeding is very possible and probable. Thank you :)

I think it's so he can see around corners more easily! Clearly he is an highly evolved member of his species. nods 😹 I love him!!
