He's a British Shorthair & they are brachycephalic.
Fortunately no breathing issues, can eat fine. He's got more snout than Uschi, his 'sister'.
Part of the origin story of the British Short/Longhair cats includes almost dying out during WW2, but being crossbred w Persians to revitalize the breed.
Some unethical breeders continue to breed for short muzzled aesthetic - Uschi does hit that same level of cute as an anime cat.
She is the most likely to develop problems, but has a clean bill of health from our vet.
I got her right after lockdown ended and didn't research her origins well enough.
Danke for the headsup! Would make for fun research opportunities.
Glad to know he's safe and sound in terms of health, cuz we got one with a similar unique skull shape that can do an internal cough every now and then. Protect the fluffyness.
Even more fun trivia, danke danke danke peeporino
