Khao Manee???
galleryMeet Obi! I adopted him a month ago. Nobody seems to know where he came from, but the adoption center labeled him as a “domestic short hair”. I’ve never had a cat, always dogs. My friend was fostering him and I don’t know why, but I just felt something was special about this cat. So I made him part of our family! 🙂
I was putting pics of him on my Facebook, and a friend of mine who knows a lot about cats private messaged me. She was like “How did you get a Khao Manee?” I had no idea what a Khao Manee even was, so I started to research and everything matched Obi to a tee! He is super smart, curious, plays well with my seven year old son and my two dogs, super lovable, and communicates often. Not just purring and meowing… he makes these little sounds that are so cute like he’s trying to tell me stuff. His build also looks athletic, even though he is still a kitten.
I wish there was a way to know if you have a true Khao Manee! But honestly there’s not one feature about him that doesn’t match. He even has the high cheekbones and tall ears. Just curious of other opinions! Either way if he is or isn’t, this is one of the most extraordinary animals I’ve ever had. I’m truly lucky to have found him. I paid only $150… worth every cent! 😻
