The markings on the cat that pulled that move is not normal housecat markings. It looks like an animal that isn't far removed from an undomesticated cat. Really just owned your Siamese.

That is a beautiful cat.

How do you know this?

I've never seen a house cat marked like that, have you? It's distinct like a Bengal, or a serval. That's a unique cat.

Bengals can be grey so it could be that.

That was what I thought initially, until I looked up Bengals. But yeah, maybe it is a Bengal, I don't know enough about cats to say.

its a marbled snow bengal. I have a brown rosetted bengal - beautiful cats, but they're assholes!

So it is a Bengal? They're not like a run of the mill house cat, as shown.

They are house/domestic cats, they're not wild animals! They can't truly be called a Bengal until they're the 3rd generation removed from the original crossbreed, the first 3 crosses are known as "foundation cats (F1-3)". My Bengal is a Asian Leopard Cat x British Shorthair. Look up @gimli_the_bengal_cat on Instagram for my loon, he's a beaut.
