Yup, he just turned up one day back in October last year! It's unfortunately quite common for people to dump cats in my area around all the nearby barns.

He's such a striking cat, though, that we had him checked for a microchip, left his description at the county shelter, and I spent months scouring lost pet listings every day just in case he slipped out and someone was out there looking for him, and nothing ever came up. As far as I know, he's just your basic domestic longhair, but a lot of people think he's pure or part Ragdoll. All I know is I absolutely adore him regardless of what he is.
