Most effective predators on land imo. As to why mine are so different, I couldnt even begin to guess. Even as kittens the difference was noticable. Maybe just all the mixed genetics that come from a line of stray city cats (the parents were found outside by a friend and taken in). They're even built differently. The hunter (Ziggy) is lean like a cheetah where as Smokey is built like a tiger so that's part of why I lean to the mixed genetics being part the cause.

Oh they’re not siblings? 🤔

Sometimes their personalities just differ I guess

No they siblings. Just cats are wierd with genetics passing on, in part because a single female can be impregnated by multiple males at the same time, so for all I know, two of my friend's male cats got the mom knocked up.

Oh yeah that’s true. Actually now that I think about it, I had a female cat that got pregnant once and all her babies were black. But she has some white spots that you can only see up close. Her babies were like that too. There is a cat in the neighborhood always hanging around that is black so I assumed that was the dad. She got pregnant a second time and they were all black again. But the third time she got pregnant, she had kittens that were black and two different kittens that were white with gray paws. Like a Siamese. I assumed it was possible because she had some white spots. But it came out of nowhere and still didn’t really make sense. Eventually I saw another cat that was white. But I assumed that it was just one cat that knocked her up. Your explanation makes more sense. She was a little slut 😂

hahahaha. My two have similar fur patterns, but different coloring. And they had a sister that my mom didnt take (they were hers until she passed) that was pure white. Definitely a mixed batch to say the least
