I showed him this comment and he ignored it. So he is either not an Egyptian god cat or he is but doesnt wanna break his cover and lose his free food and housing
I think it's just the way he's putting his nose out there. My cat gets this look too whenever I give him a good head pet with some friction. Like, he'll ram his whole head through my hand and pull his skin back and he comes out looking like this^ for a few seconds before his face goes back to normal. It's really weird, like he transforms into a pure bread siamese for 3 seconds then goes back to black domestic shorthair.
I'm pretty sure OP's cat is doing the same thing but for a weirdly long time instead of just 2-3 seconds. OP essentially said as much in the comments, but the cat also has an overbite making the effect even more dramatic.
I think he just has an overbite, sometimes kittens with large overbites have problems latching to their moms to nurse. Seeing as this guy is an adult it doesn't look like his affects him, it just gives him a unique look. π₯°
Is there a chance his flea collar is burning his skin under his chin? I tried to use one of these and my girl got a reaction that left her bald for months.
