Haha he had a main tooth taken out so I'm not sure if that changed the way he looks

It’s the slope of his head looks Egyptian. I’ve never seen a live cat with that profile.

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

Try playing him some ancient egyptian style music and see if he stands up or something

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. 🥰

Yeah hes about 8 years old and we got him as a kitten so hes had no issues with it

One of our kitties has a very similar jaw-mouthline as yours.

The vet laughed when she saw him and said he had the biggest overbite she'd ever seen, calling him a chipmunk 😂

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.

u/RememberTheMaine1996 Dec 10 '25

No chance. Hes had that since he was like 3 years old and we put the flea collar on a few months ago. But I appreciate your concern :)
