My cat Moosha is a Persian too and she makes that face all the time when she’s relaxing and when she’s happy! It’s her “I can’t breathe because my nose is too small so I’ll mouth breathe with my tongue out” face. Marley you have an adorable cat!!!

Friend of mine has a Basenji mix with the same face and mole…

Ha…Marley…just realized you ARE the photographer…jeez, I’m off today. I would definitely say at least some Shiba…same angular face, mine even has that same little “mole” yours has! And the right coloring as well.

Marley-

Yes, they are! You should show us some pics, perhaps we could help you figure it out!

LisaL, she’s not balding! her fur’s dyed pink right there! xD

Jenn- our two puppies are shed dogs- total mutts! we have no idea what’s in them, everyone gives us different opinions! Shibas are cute though- i wonder if they’ve got it in them!

@AuntieMame– true story. I’m close to your age, and was leaving a restaurant with my dad recently. Dad was looking at me strangely, and before I could do anything, he anointed the hanky with a little parental spit, and off he went. Parental spit bath.

Just pure, unadulterated LOL.

LisaL, i know that cat. she is a punk rock kitty

LOL @ Charlie. I think Bergen and McCarthy had a bit like that, right?

I think the cat’s expression also qualifies as “Nyerhe.” Or mebbe he just didn’t want his hair parted in the middle today?

It’s a cute picture, but man! That is one ugly cat! It’s cute that it has its tongue sticking out, but the balding head or whatever is going on there to allow the bright pink skin to show through is so BLEH. lol
