I am so impressed! Just think back to when Boss-kichi was a stray cat, always independent and a strong character. Now, years later, he allows you to pick him up, cuddle, immerse him in a long bath and remove his hair when he is shedding. I have loved him for a long time and tried to figure out what breed he probably is. Although the two breeds I thought of are similar in some ways (Ragamuffin and Norwegian Forrest), I think he is a Norwegian Forrest cat. The shape of his nose, his slightly fierce expression (sometimes) and his like of water. Both breeds can be super furry, a big size, and both have big eyes, but the Ragamuffin's eyes are rounder. Boss looks a bit wilder, Ragamuffins look quite young. That's my vote: Norwegian Forrest Cat. Did yo ever do a DNA test for Boss? Anyway, sending you and your family (and cat children) best wishes and happiness!!! From 🇨🇦.
