My cat Basil seems a lot like a Coon!

He was found hanging around my mother's house and I adopted him. He's very friendly, affectionate and loves his cuddles(likes to put his head on my chest like a baby!). He's great around kids and other cats and even washes our kitten! He's a very gentle soul.

He follows me everywhere and likes to chat when he wants a cuddle. He loves to drink water directly from a tap - no bowls please! He loves to play and he can jump very high in the air as he does so. He also seems to think he's part dog; stands up on his hind legs 'begging' and when he goes to sleep, he likes to lay his head on his front paws. He is almost always at my heels.

He has a very long body, looks fatter than what he is because of all that fur! He also has white tufts between his toes and a tail like a fox (hence his name). He's nearly four years old and yet still has a hint of blue in his eyes. Very much still a kitten at heart.

Is he part coon?
