From the pictures I've seen Boo's body type seems to be different from most of domestic shorthair mixes I’ve encountered. I have difficulty putting my finger on exactly how he's different. This could be attributed to the fact that you got him in New Zealand and their domestic shorthairs have different body types than American domestic shorthairs. (makes sense)

As for your guess of oriental, his body type seems too stocky for that. Now Boo, don't take my comment the wrong way, you are such a handsome kitty just as you are!!!

When I think of Orientals I think of...
- sleek, svelte design
- tall, slender legs
- angular head
- large flaring ears
- almond shaped eyes

But as a mix Boo would obviously not display all of these characteristics. Physically I don't see any of these when I look at pictures of Boo. However, pictures don't tell all, so perhaps you would argue that he does embody some of these traits.

Hmmm....on second thought he does sort of have the angular head thing going on as well as the almond shaped eyes. Do you agree, Soledad?

There's a map of my whole thought process! hehe, I think I'll leave it as is!
