Tiger Face

[CatMama78]

This may be a weird question, but for those who have grey striped cats, does your cat seem like his or her face gets more square at different times? I SWEAR wilber's jaw gets squarer when he's really happy from being petted and starts purring loudly and we're head to head snuggling. It's almost like it changes shape. Am i imagining this? I always tell him it's the tiger face, cause it reminds me of those square faced tigers that are all one color, I don't know what kind they are - it's a beige color. Maybe it's me or maybe not and it may not just be the grey striped ones, but I've never noticed this on Oreo.

YES! Sometimes its very angular and other times its soft and round! I have pictures that don't even looklike Pouncer, but they are!

Yes!!!!!! It gets square when he is playing hard and going to kill the mousie. I'm glad you noticed it too

lol, yay!

here's a link to what he reminds me of in 'tiger mode', although 'parently it's not technically a tiger, but a cougar (that's cause my Wilber is so fierce, lol)!

When I pet Tito he gets a square jaw - probably from sticking it our so I can scritch under his chin! And he pulls back the corners of his mouth when I do it so it looks like a kitty smile!!

Or sometimes when he's naw-tee he really does look like a tiger:

Oooo Tito the Tiger!!! Big scary teeth!!!
