How about these pecs?
Oh.....PETS!!!! Sorry.
Bonus points for being into bestiality, imo.
Also, my cat > your cat.

And I hope you don't let him/her outside that screened-in patio
Not sure of breed. He's a rescue. When I googled I came to the conclusion that he was a Norwegian Forrest Cat, but I could be way off. He doesn't go out past the patio. Any reason why you suggest not? I leave him in cause there are a lot of strays in the neighborhood. I don't want him mingling with the wrong crowd. lol
That pic of him looks weird cause he's so close to the camera. Here's a better pic of how he looks normally.

Generally just a bad idea to let cats outside. Cars, dogs, fights with other cats or wild animals. I remember reading that the average lifespan of a feral cat is 2 years. Granted letting your cat outside doesn't make him feral but you get what I'm saying.
But if you never let him out, he'll never want to go out. I can leave my front door wide open and my cat just stands there.
Not true with my little guy. He always jets for the door when I open it. Such a pain in my ass. The one time he got out and I didn't notice, he was out all night. When I woke up in the morning he was asleep on the back deck...and there were claw marks all over the front door. I felt so bad.

How old was he when you got him as a rescue? Kitten or adult cat?
Mine likes to go out at night, never comes to any harm. But the only risk is other cats and maybe a pine marten or two.
He was about 6 months when I got him from a friend's sister who was going to college. That was five years ago. She took him off the street when he was a palm-sized kitten.

Living on the street could have something to do with it, but I doubt it. Did the friend's sister let him outside in those 4-5 months after she found him? Normally cats are cautious about things they're not familiar with (like the outside world).

In more rural areas I imagine it's not as bad. Can a pine marten kill a cat or would it not bother?
He still holds onto a lot of his wild personality, even though he never had much time out as a wild cat. Very friendly around strangers too.

I've read that about the UK. That you guys think it cruel not to let your cats outside.
Just a different mindset here. I've known people whose cats have disappeared or been hit by cars. I live in a pretty urban area though.

Interesting. My old cat was super friendly with strangers. The cat I have now darts under the bed. It took him almost a year to warm up to my niece and she was coming to our house nearly every weekend. Generally just cautious around strangers, but I've read that it's pretty typical for his breed (Maine Coon).
I had one in my utility room and it looked big enough, I imagine it could catch a pet slipping. Ok I'm wrong, having researched apparently it's badgers I should worry about, apparently they have no problem killing domestic animals here.
He comes and goes through the window but spends most of the day flaked out in the dogs bed.
Is she a staffy?

No badgers in Florida. We do have raccoons and they are definitely big and nasty enough to kill a housecat, but it's not in their nature to kill anything that poses no threat to them and they have no interest in eating a cat. I've often seen feral cats and raccoons eating next to each other (more like 5-10 feet apart) at the dumpster in my apartment complex.
