Story by PJ, Feline Rescue Adoption Center volunteer
He's got the boxy build of a Persian, the fluffy broad face of a Maine Coon, the half-folded-over ears that suggest Scottish Fold, and the black heavy stripes of a Tabby on his chocolate-brown fur. So what breed of cat is Rox?? All of the above? None of the above?
I can't answer what Rox is, but I think I can accurately describe who he is.
Upon first glance, Rox brought to my mind the words prize fighter. Those odd little ears on his big round head, those fat black stripes zigzagging haphazardly across his great, bulky body, and his muscular swagger. Rox the Rock! No cat would dare pick a fight with in an alley. His contemporaries would hide in the air shafts at his approach! I envisioned him swaggering the streets of urbania, ignoring the slap of human feet against pavement, eyeing the activity around him with contempt. Tough guy. Miles Davis or Charlie Parker might've been inspired to create a tune just for him, something to accompany him in his journey through the urban sprawl and brawls.
